ESPNBoston.com’s Mike Reiss discusses site’s Patriots coverage

When Monday Night Football rolled into Foxborough, Mass. last weekend for the most recent contest between the New England Patriots and Houston Texans, ESPNBoston.com’s Mike Reiss got a bit of a twinkle in his eyes.

“Like Tom Brady said [last week], ‘There’s something special about Monday Night Football,” said Reiss, who has covered the Patriots for a decade and a half, the last three years for ESPNBoston.com.

In the video above, Reiss shares his thoughts on having the MNF crew in town; how ESPNBoston.com approaches its coverage of the Patriots (and everything Boston sports); and what it’s like to work closely with ESPN NFL analyst Tedy Bruschi.

Storified!: Super Bowl Media Day 2012

Trey Wingo's interview with Peyton Manning airs first at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN during the SportsCenter special

NOTE: Be sure to tune in to ESPN at 3 p.m. ET for Colts QB Peyton Manning’s first television interview after weeks of speculation about his future. Manning sat with ESPN’s NFL Live host Trey Wingo earlier today and the entire 15 minute interview is scheduled to run during the special Super Bowl edition of SportsCenter. The interview will air again at 4 p.m. on NFL Live. In the interview, Manning discusses his future, his health and his brother Eli’s upcoming appearance in Super Bowl XLVI.

The Circus before The Show is underway in Indianapolis today — the NFL’s annual Super Bowl Media Day kicked off at 10 a.m. ET with the New England Patriots, followed by the New York Giants at Noon.

There is extensive coverage across all of ESPN’s platforms and we’d direct you to both ESPNBoston.com and ESPNNewYork.com for comprehensive, insiders’ coverage from each side.

Front Row adds to the content barrel with another edition of “Storified!,” our look at how social media has been reacting to Super Bowl Media Day 2012.

Front & Center: Beat reporters
Mike Reiss and Ohm Youngmisuk

One example of the sites' collaborative Super Bowl efforts, the "Hot Button"

In addition to all the “macro” coverage fans will be treated to across ESPN platforms, Super Bowl XLVI will be the first title game to feature two teams from ESPN.com’s new local Web sites. Providing the “micro” coverage that fans of the New England Patriots and New York Giants are clamoring for will be ESPNBoston.com and ESPNNewYork.com. Mike Reiss and Ohm Youngmisuk will anchor the sites’ coverage.

They join us on this edition of the Front & Center podcast. They discuss, among other things: the impact of the Super Bowl on their respective sites; resources being utilized by both sites; memories from the Week 9 regular season Pats/Giants meeting; collaborative efforts (such as the “Hot Button” feature, pictured) and a (fairly) rapid fire session of Super Bowl Roll.
