Super Bowl winners Jerry Rice and Jay Schroeder will be part of the Sky Sports team for Pittsburgh-Arizona.
Jerry signs for Sky Sports ahead of Tampa spectacular
Living legend Jerry Rice will be
Sky Sports' very special guest for our unrivalled coverage of Super Bowl XLIII.
The three-time Super Bowl winner, 13-time Pro Bowler and record-breaking former wide receiver will be teaming up with some familiar faces for our coverage of Pittsburgh versus Atlanta from the Raymond James Stadium, Tampa.
He will be in good company because we have another Super Bowl winner on side, in the shape of former Redskins and Raiders quarterback, Jay Schroeder.
Jerry will be joining Nick Halling in the
Sky Sports commentary booth for the whole game and you can pick up their words of wisdom via the red button as we go interactive - as well as being the only UK broadcaster to screen the game in high definition.
Jay meanwhile will be in the studio along with Neil Reynolds and
Sky Sports' NFL anchorman, Kevin Cadle.
"It's going to be tremendous," says Cadle, who be in the hotseat as we screen the Super Bowl live for the 15th time.
"It's a great scoop for us here on
Sky Sports to get Jerry Rice because he is a legend. It's a word we use too much when not many people fit in that category, but Jerry Rice is a true legend.
"We've also got a Super Bowl winner in the studio as well in the shape of Jay Shcroeder. So that's a Super Bowl winner sat with me and Neil Reynolds and another one out in Tampa with Nick Halling.
"I think we've got a pretty competent line-up and I am sure, like always, we'll have everything covered!"
Tune in to our coverage and you will get a real slice of Super Bowl's unique atmosphere with all the build-up from Tampa and a look back at how Pittsburgh from the AFC and Arizona from the NFC made it all the way to Florida.
And when the game kicks off you can choose between the American commentary from the legendary duo of Al Michaels and John Madden, or our own
Sky Sports analysis with Messrs Halling and Rice.
