MIAMI— Wednesday at Super Bowl LIV featured one of the Super Bowl’s oldest traditions, the annual commissioner’s press conference.
Unfortunately what used to be known as the annual “State of the League” address from Pete Rozelle, Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell, and was often one of the most meaningful and important events of Super Bowl week has been tinkered with and minimized in recent seasons to what might be more accurately described now as the “State of Denial” address.
Over six decades the presser was held mid-day on Friday, after all the other pre-game hype had wrapped up to shine a light on anything and everything relevant to the success and enjoyment of the game, and to assure the entire media could be available to attend.
