In the shadows of the superdome sits a multimillion dollars trailer park. Very fancy very expensive trailer park. Reporter steve carritick is the senior producer of cbs sports and today hes giving me a tour of the compound. Trailer after trailer of editing rooms, taping, graphics. Over 40 videotape machines just for the game alone. Reporter sneaking through the entire compound are thousands of wires and cables. Its crazy to think that on game day every one of them has to be connected to the right thing. I always used to joke like what would happen if you actually pulled one of them out .

I just got to say there was a little part of me that did want to just pull one of those cables and see what would happen. Id probably lose my press credential if i did that. Im glad you held off. Would have been a lot more interesting if you did it during the game. Dont do it now. Dont give her any ideas. Reporter right.

No one would fight more for us than our mom no.

Theyve done an awful lot as far as overcoming some obstacles of their own, but i think overall the ravens have the mental makeup and that intangible that says they can be victorious. Reporter well see what happens, of course, sunday. Im Kristen Berset, back to you in studio. Thanks for that from the harbaughs. Have great night, everybody. Derek is
