The 41 Bump n Run Volume 1

MIAMI - This blog, its luggage, four breath mints and a Nature Valley peanut butter granola bar arrived in Miami Beach yesterday at 5:30ish.

And I can't say I'm unhappy to be here even though many of my media brethren and sisteren will lodge formal and informal complaints about their hotels, the food, the access to the players, the relative humidity in the media center, rock and roll music, Bill Polian, Rich Eisen, the speed with which we receive transcripts, Tank Johnson and people who insist on saying they're standing "in line" when everyone knows the proper word is either "on line" or "queue."

This blog is under direct orders to chronicle the Colts. And since they don't get here until tonight, we'll fill ya in on the Super Bowl Experience so far.

It's a no-cloud Monday. We took a media shuttle from our hotel (Four Points Sheraton) to the media center. When jumping online (as opposed to "on line") we had to agree to some NFL stipulations to get access.

As a result, this blog is banned from: "developing, implementing or sending viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, or other computer programming routines or engines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or information."

This blog has also agreed to this code of internet conduct.

"CONDUCT

The foregoing notwithstanding, you are responsible for, and assume all liability associated with, any material you make available or transmit through the Internet service, whether through chat rooms, messages boards or other forums, including, without limitation, liability for claims of infringement, libel and/or slander. You may not post, transmit through or otherwise make available on or through the Internet service any material that violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others, that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, abusive, profane, vulgar, sexually explicit, racist, threatening, hateful, inappropriate or otherwise objectionable, in the NFL's sole discretion, or that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any law. Breach of the foregoing may result in legal action against you."

So there's that.

Chew on that for a few and we'll hit you back in a few minutes with some more observations.
