	Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson attracted the biggest crowd on Tuesday. AP

Best question of Media Day comes from the Los Angeles Times' Bill Plaschke, who grills Tank Johnson, asking him if he's gone out to nightclubs since he's been in Miami and if he's sorry for what happened.

"Sorry to who?" asks Tank.

"Sorry to society," says Plaschke.

Johnson then turns his back to Plaschke while the reporter says "no seriously" a couple times.

The silence and tension last for 30 seconds, as none of the 30 or so reporters around Johnson asks another question, waiting for Johnson to say something.

Earlier, Johnson had braced himself for the onslaught by saying of Media Day: "Its something I have prepared myself for. It will all be over in 21 minutes and I'll be back on the bus talking about football again."

It seems everyone gets screwed on Super Bowl tickets. Even the owner of the host team.

"I have to buy a ticket to my suite," says Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga. "I have to buy a parking pass to my building. They just take over everything ... we have nothing to do with it. They're poking holes in the building and doing whatever they want.

"Not only do I have to buy a ticket to my own suite, but they're telling me my suite holds 55 seats. I told them, 'No it doesn't.' That's too crowded.

"When they leave, who do you think pays for all that stuff? All the seats and the plumbing and the walls? It's us."

Mo Rocca is interviewing players for the Tonight Show and asks the Bears' Alfonso Boone why the long face, since he's sitting down by himself against the wall. Then Chicago safety Brandon McGowan comes over and interviews Boone. "Don't annoy me, says Boone, as he sits Indian style.

10:15 a.m.

Kyle Orton and Brian Griese are sitting against the wall next to the NFL Network set, almost hidden from the media, but a few reporters notice them and one asks Orton the only question on anyone's mind when they see his scruffy face: What do you think of those drunken pictures of you on the net? "I find it comical that people want to put it on a Web site," he says. "My friends have fun with it."

10:08 a.m.

Rex Grossman is prepared for any craziness that might come his way on Media Day. "They're just questions," he says. "I know there's media from all over the world here today. It is what it is." Thanks for the insight Rex.

First hard hitting question of Media Day goes to Lovie Smith. What do you think of American Idol? "I love American Idol and I think Paula is great and I'll leave it at that."

The 100 level of Dolphin Stadium, the south side anyway, is filled with reporters waiting to rush the field right now. Some are passing the time better than others. Former Steelers quarterback Mark Malone is smoking a fat stogie in front of the Una Mezcla Buena concession stand as a a few scribes wave away the smoke around him.

9:45 a.m.

Super Bowl Media Day is like a day at a theme park, complete with colorful characters, hordes of lines and thousands of reporters asking hundreds of questions. OK, so maybe the last one is only specific to Media Day unless there is some new death-defying ride at Six Flags that calls for you to be grilled by every sports columnist in the country, followed by a 95-foot drop.

Anyway, like most trips to a theme park, my journey begins on a shuttle through a parking lot as I am dropped off in front of Dolphin Stadium along with dozens of other journalists around 8:30. Then I'm forced to weed through a never ending zig-zag line that drops me off in front of the security tent where dogs and officers can sift through my exciting backpack filled with a PSP, Tic-tacs and last week's copy of Sports Illustrated.

More than an hour later I'm still standing around the corridors of Dolphin Stadium waiting for security to open up the gates that lead to the field and the proverbial running of the bulls, er, start of Media Day.
