It’s Super Bowl week, so we give you THE BIG CALL IN SHOW: SUPER BOWL EDITION.

Lots of great calls/emails and banter. For those new to the call-in show, we try once a month, or so often, to do a radio show the way we feel terrestrial radio should be. Calls to listeners, from us. Calls from listeners to us. It’s a big community, and we try to do our best to help other bloggers, podcasters and media members get their name out there.

First on the show is a young writer you may have heard of. William F. Leitch. He had a blog for a while and now writes for some magazine named after some city.

Leitch is the biggest Cardinals fan I know, so we talk about the Buzzsaw’s run to the Super Bowl and their chances against the Steelers. We also find out that Leitch is MUCH stronger than anyone anticipated, and get the report of his bet with Daulerio -- which involved Daulerio getting a tattoo and letting Leitch hit him in the face with a cookie sheet -- from the sheet swinger himself.

And we get the low down on the question that everyone wants to know: who hits another man in the face with a cookie sheet WHILE WEARING A SPORT COAT.

Nick and I then give our picks (both head and heart) and tell you who is going to win the Super Bowl.

Next up, Cameron Frye, who writes at cameronfrye.com (NOTE: the link goes to her Twitter feed) and really really loves hockey. So we talk to her about ice and sticks for a while. We discuss the recent All-Star Game, the fact that the game is on Versus and the lack of Sidney Crosby. Is he just kind of a wimp, or a total wimp? And we talk ask an actual hockey writer why the Winter Classic isn’t the All-Star Game? Make the All-Star Game outside. It’s the best way. I know they want a double hit, but the fact is if you’re going to have your All-Star game on the same channel as bull riding (I literally went to turn on the skills competition and found bull riding) nobody is going to watch. So make it on NBC, put it outside and get ratings for your sport’s biggest showcase of stars. If they show up.

Oh, yes, and we get the story on why she was fired from her job for writing something on Deadspin.

Next up: emails. We read some listener mail including a question from Devine at The City Line asking us who in sports would make our favorite uncle. It’s a great question.

Next up, we chat with Andy Hutchins, an 18-year old student at Florida. He also writes The Arena and asks us about the future of social media. It’s an

interesting blog/podcast/new media discussion. Rather than go into a deep thing here, just listen. If you’re a part of this with us, I’d love your input on it. We then him what he’d let Tim Tebow do to him, just because he’s Tim Tebow.

Next up, a call with Eric DeLash from Maryland who we ask the status of Gary Williams. Can Gary really get fired? Should he get fired? And when am I going on UMD’s radio station to regale them with old stories of Walt Williams?

To close, Nick and I get on a soapbox about the NFL layoffs. It involved Deion Sanders and is one I’m particularly angry about. So hopefully it makes good listening.

Long show, good show. Listen to the show.
