MINNEAPOLIS _ Ivan Fears, who has gone from coaching Antowain Smith and Marc Edwards in his first Patriots backfield of 2002 to James White and a cast of thousands, raved Monday night about the depth in the Bengals backfield that gave him Bengals draft pick Rex Burkhead in free agency.
You have to go to a careerist like Fears on Monday night of Super Bowl week to not go mad. Media Day was already a zoo, but now Media Night is a certifiable prime-time yuk now officially the latest reality TV train wreck and you need a football guy like Fears to talk, well, football.
