The football world has descended on Arizona for Super Bowl 57. The Chiefs and the Eagles, will take center stage tonight. The Eagles are hoping to win their second title since 2017, while the Chiefs are in the big game for the third time in four years. And it all comes after a challenging but, as ever, record-setting year for the NFL. WAMC Sports Commentator Keith Strudler, director of the school of communication and media at Montclair State University, spoke with WAMC’s Ian Pickus about the big game:

A lifelong resident of the Capital Region, Ian joined WAMC in late 2008 and became news director in 2013. He began working on Morning Edition and has produced The Capitol Connection, Congressional Corner, and several other WAMC programs. Ian can also be heard as the host of the WAMC News Podcast and on The Roundtable and various newscasts. Ian holds a BA in English and journalism and an MA in English, both from the University at Albany, where he has taught journalism since 2013.
