One of the clichés that has made its way from interview to interview in the lead-in to the Super Bowl is the idea that the team and players who can turn the NFL championship game into the usual Sunday stroll in the park will be successful.While there will be no physical pressure on Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the FOX booth as they call the Super Bowl, the fact that they'll be calling the game before what is expected to be the largest audience in American television history means that it's not just another telecast.
Yet, for Aikman and Buck, the key will be to treat the situation in Cowboys Stadium Sunday as if it were a New York Giants-Dallas game in Week Five.
"Having broadcast a couple of Super Bowls now, I think the same holds true in broadcasting," said Aikman, who led Dallas to three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s. "You get excited because you know it is a big game and you know a lot of people are watching and that they're interested.
"You get through the initial part of that and it becomes a typical broadcast like any other game that you call. But they're a lot of fun to be a part of and it's exciting doing playoff games, especially to be a part of a Super Bowl broadcast."
