4 Unforgettable Moments From Super Bowl LIV Opening Night
By Michael Luciano
The annual "Opening Night" of Super Bowl week is a press conference on steroids, as the best players in the game will say just about anything as they get ready to play in the biggest game in their lives. Super Bowl LIV Media Day certainly did not disappoint, as we could have filled two whole lists with the amount of eye-catching sights from Miami.

Whenever you get the chance to cosplay as Andy Reid, you simply have to take it. This fan, paying homage to that hilarious Punt, Pass, and Kick photo featuring Reid towering two feet over the other 12 year olds in attendance, certainly knocked it out of the park in the originality department. Not everyone has the chutzpah to wear that into one of the biggest events on the football calendar.
3. Frank Clark Takes Travis Kelce Over George Kittle
Frank Clark on the #49ers’ George Kittle: “Second best tight end in the game.”

Chiefs pass rusher Frank Clark took the time to declare Travis Kelce as the best tight end in football at the expense of 49ers All-Pro George Kittle. While the two are basically dead even in terms of talent, and who is "better" largely relates to how they fit in their team's scheme, Kelce is the better receiver, and Clark isn't giving San Francisco an ounce of credit in the build-up to the Super Bowl.
2. Tyreek Hill Impersonates Patrick Mahomes/Kermit

Patrick Mahomes is an MVP, AFC Champion, and statistical anomaly, but he doesn't exactly sound like Barry White when he's barking out plays. Someone had the bright idea to stick a mic in front of Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who did a picture-perfect impression of Mahomes' voice that has been compared by many to Kermit the Frog. It's so accurate it's almost frightening.
1. Love for Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant passed away on Sunday at the age of 41, and the impact of his death is still sending shockwaves throughout the sports world. The likes of Patrick Mahomes, Richard Sherman and Tyrann Mathieu all spoke at length on what the Black Mamba meant to them as athletes, as leaders, and as men. Richard Sherman discussed about the impact he left on him as a young kid growing up in Los Angeles. It's hard not to shed a tear when you see how many lives across the world Kobe touched in a positive way.
