Berdovsky and 28 year old Sean Stevens
were arraigned in boston after

being charged with disorderly conduct
and placing a hoax device -

In fact, one of the men showed off on
his website how he installed the

devices - one foot tall signs with a
blinking electronic character

from the cartoon network show "AQUA
TEEN HUNGER FORCE. The marketing

ploy kicked off a massive reaction in
Boston where roads and bridges

were closed and bomb squads responded.

channel�s parent company - immediately

apologized

And then apologized again. (graphic)

chairman said, we appreciate the
gravity of this situation.

In New York police say there were 41

devices placed around town.

Apparently no one paid attention to
them - but the NYPD took the

situation seriously and quickly
dismantled the signs.

Boston police say they were stunned by
the idea.. Which stretched into

10 cities across the country.

The goal was to have Slaughter go

showdown in Miami.

Unlike years past, there are no
headline- grabbing controversies or
trash talking so far.

Teri Okita reports on how that can be
a challenge for radio sports jockeys.

PKG.

(LOCATOR: Miami, FL)

NATSD: (3:57) Jim Miller, former NFL
quarterback, joining us here on

sports NFL. (runs :02)

NATSD: (8:10) This is what I�m talking
about � making plays. It�s all up

to the quarterback. (runs :02

NATSD: (:52) It all starts with running
the football. (runs :02)

NATSD: (3:32) I think, one, you saw a
more determined Peyton Manning.

(runs :03)

TRACK: ON RADIO ROW, THEY BREAK IT
DOWN AND LAY IT OUT � ANALYZING

SUNDAY�S GAME FROM EVERY ANGLE.

NATSD: (6:44) I don�t see it happening
in this game either, though. 2nd

guy: Well, you hope it doesn�t because
they don�t look particularly

well. (runs :03)

TRACK: SPORTS TALK SHOWS, BIG AND
SMALL, FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY � AND

AROUND THE WORLD � ARE HERE. AND SO
FAR, THE BUZZ HAS BEEN, WELL �

BORING.

SOT: (11:00) No question that people

are searching for stories. (runs

:03)

TRACK: WHY? WELL, THIS COULD BE THE
FRIENDLIEST SUPER BOWL RIVALRY IN

YEARS.

Super: (Tod Eds/ABC Sports Radio
Network)

SOT: (17:51) You�re not going to get a

lot of trash talk from either

side because both players on both teams
have respect, not only for their

coach, but for the opposing coach.
(runs :08)

Super: Jason Gotch/Illinois Radio
Network)

SOT: (9:21) This seems like the Super

Bowl lovefest to me. I mean, it

seems like the players are gushing and
the coaches are gushing over the

other teams. (runs :06)

Super: Teri Okita/Reporting)

STANDUP BRIDGE: Sounds like good
sportsmanship, right? But a firestorm

here and there makes for good
headlines. Still, if you scratch the

surface, there�s drama to be had.

(Super: Steve Politziner/ESPN Radio)

SOT: (11:36) I think it�s Peyton

Manning. Does Peyton Manning need to

win this game to seal his legacy? (runs
:06)

SOT: (9:04) Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy,

obviously. Great friends, but

they�re going to be competitors come
Sunday. (runs :05)

TRACK: MARQUEE NAMES LIKE EMMITT
SMITH, JERRY RICE, AND JIMMY JOHNSON

HAVE ALL STOPPED TO GIVE THEIR PRE-GAME
ANALYSIS. IN THE END, THOUGH,

TALK IS CHEAP �

NATSD: (4:13) He comes to Indianapolis.
He�s trying to change the whole

dynamic of the team. (runs :04)

TRACK: � AND ONLY WALKING THE WALK
WILL WIN A SUPER BOWL. TERI OKITA,

CBS NEWS, MIAMI.
