'Do you believe in voodoo, and can I have a lock of your hair?': Not sure why this is a photo essay instead of a column, but SI has put together some of the dumber questions asked during the circus of Super Bowl Media Day.
This year brought no special gems, though there was that guy from Mexican TV asking questions through his puppet.

Wow! It doesn't exatly portray sports journalists as the sharpest knives in the drawer, does it? How in the world do these people get their press credentials? And can I have one? I promise I'll think of something better to ask than "Do you enjoy playing football? Are you glad to be in the Superbowl?"

Do you all find it strange to be commenting on Super Bowl questions in a Voodoo post? Isn't that like answering football questions in a baseball stadium? Strange, indeed.

Would it be easier if you were the second sports journalist to ask a stupid question?

What's it like to be commenting in a thread about someone asking a lineman about what it's like to block for a black quarterback?

And if they're trying to be funny, most are not. Sportsfilter should do whatever it takes to get rcade press credentials for the super bowl. That would be gold.

I'm not sure if some of the writers are trying to ask less than smart questions, "Hey Guess what I asked?" or if the news sources are sending reporters who do not know the game or the players. Either way these questions are mind-benders.
