Here is your Super Bowl Day Planner. I have all the features from ESPN, NFL Network and CBS so that you the fan will be able to know when to make that beer/soda run, get the extra ice, do all the important things and not miss anything that might interest you. This public service has been done for you the last three years and I hope you enjoy the game.
Cheers.....Jim Williams
The Features on ESPN where their pre game starts at 11am:
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, the Super Bowl XXXV MVP and former University of Miami All-American, will join ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown as a guest analyst during the program’s three-hour Super Bowl XLI preview edition Sunday, beginning at 11 a.m. ET, from Miami. The telecast will feature host Chris Berman and analysts Tom Jackson, Michael Irvin, Mike Ditka and Ron Jaworski from ESPN’s South Beach set (12th and Ocean Drive), as well as Stuart Scott, Super Bowl XXIX MVP Steve Young, guest analyst Lewis and NFL Insider Chris Mortensen appearing from Dolphin Stadium. ESPN reporters Ed Werder (covering the Bears) and Sal Paolantonio (Colts) will provide live updates from the team hotels.
Program highlights with planned telecast times:
Making History (12:00 p.m.)
For the first time, the Lombardi Trophy will be hoisted by an African-American head coach with Lovie Smith or Tony Dungy set to make NFL history on Sunday. Greg Garber examines how both coaches got to the Super Bowl and what it means for the NFL, the African-American community and the country.
The Mayne Event: Big Bobbles (12:20 p.m.)
What does Kurt Warner have to do with the Bears’ secret defensive strategy to win the game? Kenny Mayne finds out in The Mayne Event.

Sunday’s “Soundtracks” will feature the best audio from the New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts AFC Championship match-up.
Bears Linebackers (12:40 p.m.)
Brian Urlacher is carrying on the tradition of outstanding Chicago Bears linebackers. In a unique feature by Nichols on the lineage of Bears linebackers, Dick Butkus, Mike Singletary and Urlacher talk about what it means to play the position for the Bears franchise.
Reggie Wayne (12:55 p.m.)
On September 24, Indianapolis receiver Reggie Wayne had four catches for 82 yards in the Colts win over the Jaguars. Just hours later, Wayne learned that his brother Rashad had been killed in a car accident. Wayne talks to Countdown’s Tom Jackson about that day, how his brother's death affected him and how his teammates have helped him get through this family tragedy.
Rex Grossman (1:10 p.m.)
The "other" quarterback in the big game comes from a football family, too. Grossman's father was a quarterback at Indiana University and his grandfather played for the Baltimore Colts. Rachel Nichols profiles the Bears quarterback's journey from grade school to the NFL.
Peyton Manning (1:35 p.m.)
The Mannings are football's first family. While Archie and sons Peyton and Eli have made names for themselves in the NFL, it is the other Manning brother who inspires Peyton. Tom Rinaldi tells the story of Cooper Manning and the close relationship he has with his brother Peyton.
Countdown will also feature a series of vignettes highlighting: Colts placekicker Adam Vinatieri in the clutch, Lovie Smith’s demeanor, Peyton Manning’s audible and the Bears’ defense.
