Sean Payton Joining ESPN's Super Bowl Pregame As Analyst

ESPN today will formally announce that Saints coach Sean Payton "will join its four-hour Super Bowl pregame coverage" before Fox starts its pregame programming. Payton also will appear as an analyst on the Thursday and Friday before the game (USA TODAY, 1/24). Payton on Friday will appear on "The Champions," a special that includes "round-table discussions among all of ESPN's analysts with Super Bowl rings" (NOLA.com, 1/23).

Meanwhile, ESPN this morning was scheduled to begin setting up a 2,500-square-foot stage in Ft. Worth's Sundance Square for 80 hours of Super Bowl-related broadcasts starting in a week. The square "will slowly begin to resemble a TV lot as more than 300 workers" take "most of the week" to complete the setup (STAR-TELEGRAM.com, 1/23).
