New England Patriots

Harrison added to NBC coverage

NBC announced today that Patriots safety Rodney Harrison will be part of its pregame show before Super Bowl XLIII Sunday — but he’ll be talking about one topic New England fans might not want to relive.

Harrison, who has won two championships with the Patriots in his 15-year career, will be discussing his role in Super Bowl lore — including his ill-fated attempt to prevent Giants receiver David Tyree’s miracle reception in the Patriots’ 17-14 loss in Super Bowl XLII. NBC plans a feature story on Tyree’s catch.

NBC’s Super Bowl XLIII pregame show kicks off at noon and will be led by its “Football Night in America” studio team of Bob Costas (host), Cris Collinsworth (co-host), Keith Olbermann (co-host), Dan Patrick (co-host), Jerome Bettis (analyst), Tiki Barber (analyst) and Peter King (reporter). Tony Dungy, Mike Holmgren, and Matt Millen were also recently announced as contributors.
