Hey all --

We are here at the Superdome, where it is about two hours before kickoff of the Patriots-Saints epic battle -- aka this week's Monday Night Football showdown.

There's not a lot going on right now on the field: stadium workers are taking coverings off the painted areas of the field, like the black-and-gold fleur de lys at midfield and the end zone "SAINTS" markings. The ESPN MNF crew, including Tedy Bruschi, is broadcasting live from the sideline opposite the press box.

Matt Light and Stephen Neal are on the field, as well as a few Pats' assistant coaches.

We'll have more...
