We told you for a few days ago that we’ve got a BRI spy in Indianapolis, taking photographs around Super Bowl Village in the buildup to the big game tomorrow.

We got the stadium:

A rather East German-looking security tower:

And a flying man:

The flying man was, of course, riding a zipline, one of those contraptions where you strap yourself to a long suspended cable, and try not to do impolite things to your underpants (or the people below!) while you go zipping along it. One has been set up over the Village, which you can see better here:

And it’s not just any zipline:

Hitchcock has been heading the zipline project for over a year and believes it could end up the must-see attraction of the Super Bowl Village. Upon completion, which begins Jan. 19, it will be the single-longest temporary zipline ever constructed…

The Super Bowl version of the zipline runs south on Capitol Avenue and continues toward Lucas Oil Stadium, 800 feet of high-flying, thrill-seeking amusement. Ten-dollar tickets are available for fans weighing between 60 and 250 pounds each day the Super Bowl Village is open, from Jan. 27 through Sunday, Feb. 5, the day of Super Bowl XLVI. To aid expected demand, more tickets will be allotted once the village opens. Additionally, four riders will be able to go at once (only two could ride simultaneously at the Olympics). Udoh says they expect to get up to 120 guests down the zipline each hour.

So with no further ado, BRI fans, our BRI spy rides the zipline over Super Bowl Village.

Is it just me, or was he lying upside down for lots of that? Just nuts.

P.S. The spy’s name is Michael Conover. Thanks a million, Michael!

We’re just days away from Super Bowl XLVI, in which the ______________ will just CRUSH the _______________. Resoundingly. (Please fill in the blanks yourself. As for Uncle John, he’s going with the Patriants. He can’t stand the Girots.)

As we reported the other day, we have a BRI spy in Indianapolis, and he sent us this photo of kids playing rugby—they’re having displays of “foreign” sports—in Super Bowl Village. (We added the “Wuh-huhhh?”)

Is this a new tactic by the Patriots? Anyone? …

P.S. Our spy sends this advice:

If you’re going to any of the Super Week festivities, get the Superbowl XLVI app from the NFL. It’s on both markets. 3D gps, info, links to buy tickets, and it’s free.

Oh yeah, people, we just found out we have a spy in Indianapolis. He’ll be sending us pics from around the city all week. Who knows what he might come across?

Here’s the Super Bowl XLVI “Monument Circle” in the city’s downtown:

Oh yeah. More to come…

This right here is one heck of a story. It doesn’t matter what team you’re rooting for today, what you think about onfield displays of this or that, or about throwing mechanics—this is one heck of a story, and Rick Reilly highlights the best part perfectly:

Remember last week, when the world was pulling its hair out in the hour after Tebow had stunned the Pittsburgh Steelers with an 80-yard OT touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas in the playoffs? And Twitter was exploding with 9,420 tweets about Tebow per second? When an ESPN poll was naming him the most popular athlete in America?

Tebow was spending that hour talking to 16-year-old Bailey Knaub about her 73 surgeries so far and what TV shows she likes.

Every week. Every week he does this, right after games, wherever they are, with people he has arranged to be at the games, along with their families. And it’s not even always kids.

It’s a heck of a story. The whole thing is worth the read.

Uncle John says “Go ___________!”

* Bonus.

Unbelievable! An albatross just doesn’t happen at a world class event! Wow! 200 yards out! Mark that 5 a 2! Gah!

And Scott’s an Aussie, so it was just huge for the crowd. So much so—that they’re already talking about putttng a dang plaque on the spot on the course where Scott took the shot.

Congratulations, Adam Scott, for the shot of a lifetime.

P.S. That YouTube video only has 2,300 or so views—bet it’s going to soar throughout the day.

P.S.S. Let’s talk to Scott’s caddie to see if has any thoughts on how Tiger Woods would feel about Scott’s shot. (Oh Dear Lord, No…)
