When you’ve made it to the Super Bowl you are bound to get some attention that will make you feel great and some attention that might make you a bit uncomfortable. With that being said we introduce Ines Gomez Mont – one of the many reporters out on the field. She is looking to catch an interview with some of the hottest players to tackle it out on Super Bowl Sunday and it looks like she might be wanting a bit more.

Ines has come prepared dressed up in a less than fashionable wedding gown and is ready to take the first high paying football player that will say ‘yes’ to her ‘will you marry me’. But she wasn’t the only odd ball out that day. It looks like reporters were looking to shine out more than the players themselves.

There was someone dressed as a wizard. There’s another guy carrying a puppet. There are several schoolchildren getting an early start on their journalism careers. And there’s a plethora of scantily clad ladies, from the midriff-bearing Miss Nevada USA (her belly button hidden by a sash) to one of those briefcase-carrying models from “Deal or No Deal.” It was no surprise when former “American Idol” contestant Kellie Pickler, doing a bit for “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” climbed atop a set of bleachers to quickly snare the attention of New York Giants defensive star Michael Strahan.

“Do you listen to music before the game?” Pickler asks. “Sure,” Strahan replies. “Will you listen to my album?” Pickler says, holding up a copy of her debut, “Small Town Girl.” “Sure, pass it up,” Strahan says. The CD flows through the hands of real reporters like a bucket of water on its way to a fire, arriving at Strahan’s podium in a matter of seconds. He scans the playlist, clearly having never heard of even one song on Pickler’s country album.

Next we see Gomez Mont on the prowl, scouring the floor in her pursuit of a husband. Gomez Mont sets her standards high: the supermodel-dating, ruggedly handsome quarterback of the 18-0 Patriots. “Would you marry me, Tom?” she asks Brady. No chance. He decides to stick with the play he called, Gisele Bundchen. “Tom Brady, I’m very, very disappointed,” Gomez Mont reveals later, playing the role of jilted lover to a tee. “I don’t love you anymore.”

She isn’t as easily defeated as she heads over to Manning, the Giants’ quarterback and Peyton’s little brother. “I’m in love with you,” Gomez Mont insists. Apparently flustered, Manning comes back with a disjointed response. “Sorry,” he says. “I’m taken for.” She ended the day with much disappointed as she was turned down by all of the Giants and Patriots team. Better luck next time Gomez.

As interesting as the pre Super Bowl Sunday interview process was I think it is safe to say that we are looking forward to the real game. The tensions are high and everyone will be working hard to make sure that they bring home the glory to their respective home states.
