Super Bowl Broadcast - Llve from The Huddle in Indianapolis Bob Costas
When you turn on a sporting event on NBC, chances are you're going to see Bob Costas. He's been the face and voice of the NBC Sports since joining the team in 1980. In that time, he's covered numerous Super Bowl, World Series and NBA Finals broadcasts as well as eight Olympic Games. In 2001, Costas also became a member of HBO sports, joining the "Inside the NFL" cast as well as hosting his own shows "On the Record" and "Costas Now." Costas is an Emmy Award winner, best-selling author and can be found every Sunday night hosting NBC's "Football Night in America." Costas will be covering Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, IN. Matthew Stafford
As the #1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, coming out of the University Georgia, the Detroit Lions had high hopes for quarterback Matthew Stafford. And in just his third year in the league, he hasn't disappointed. This past season, Stafford started all 16 games for the Lions,throwing 41 TDs and becoming only the 4th QB in league history to throw for over 5,000 yards. He also lead his team to the playoffs (a feat the Lions had rarely achieved) and earned a spot in the Pro Bowl. Follow Matthew Stafford on twitter. Frank Caliendo
Is that John Madden, Dr. Phil, Charles Barkley, Robin Williams, Al Pacino, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in the studio at the same time? No, it's just comedian and impressionist Frank Caliendo, but we can see where you'd be fooled. Caliendo was the star of the TBS show, "Frank TV," has appeared on a number of late night programs, had his own Vegas show for many years, and is the new comedic component of ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown. Follow Frank on facebook and twitter. Edwin McCain
Born and raised in Greenville, SC, platinum-selling singer/songwriter Edwin McCain has had quite the career but has never felt the need to move far from home. Still living in the area where he began his musical career, McCain has developed his mix of southern soul and acoustic storytelling into nearly two decades of hit making. His songs, including “I Could Not Ask For More,” are not only international hits, they’ve also been featured in movies and TV shows, and “I’ll Be” was voted the best wedding song of all time by over a million viewers of “The Dr. Phil Show.” Along with touring the country, McCain has recently released a Great Hits album available now. Mitch Daniels
Mitch Daniels is was elected as the 49th Governor of the state of Indiana, and in his two terms has become one of the most highly respected executives in the country. You may have seen him recently delivering the Republican Response to the President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address this year, and you'll most likely seem him a few more times as he helps Indianapolis host their first ever Super Bowl.

Costaki Economopoulos is a comedian, true, but he's also a football fan. Those two factors alone make him the perfect candidate to give us a comedic look back at the NFL each week with his new feature that's also been picked up by The Huffington Post and Bleacher Report. With his Greek heritage, it's not surprising that he's been described as a “joke philosopher,” and we're sure he's not the only one saying that. Costaki is also a talented joke writer who's punchlines have been heard on "The Tonight Show," Showtime, BET, and MTV. Follow Costaki on facebook and twitter.
