Super Bowl media day: Everything to know about Super Bowl opening night

Super Bowl week has officially arrived, and the festivities in Las Vegas kick off with the time-honored traditional wackiness that is Super Bowl Media Day.

As part of Monday night's extravaganza, journalists (and a few non-journalists) will have the opportunity to ask burning questions of just about any participant from the Kansas City Chiefs or the San Francisco 49ers.

Over the years, what the NFL now calls Super Bowl Opening Night has been a showcase for the bizarre – with reporters in gaudy outfits asking off-the-wall questions – at the same time traditional media members are mining for the latest nugget of new information.
