The Players' Tribune at Super Bowl Week

We’re live from Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco, and we’ll be bringing you fun stuff all week long from radio row. This post will be updated in real-time throughout the day. Party time.

3:10 p.m. We finally did it. We put Oakland Raiders wide receiver Michael Crabtree to the First Thing That Pops test, and we’re pretty sure we broke him. Crab, you OK?

Crazy!
