For the first blog post, I am going to be analyzing the press conference held by New Orleans Saints Head Coach, Sean Payton. This press conference is both an interaction and a transaction because the coach is giving his thoughts on the game. Then, the media present at the press conference, are giving the coach questions. The press conference is also a transaction because not only are the thoughts of Coach Payton being conveyed to the media, the thoughts are being conveyed to the viewers watching online or watching the television.
First, the body language of Coach Sean Payton shows fatigue. He is constantly leaning on the podium, and adjusting the microphone so that he can easily talk to the media. Next he is hesitant and trying to finish his thoughts completely, showing a mental fatigue. The sport of football puts a strain on everyone; the players, and the fans in attendance at the game. Moreover, the coaching staff of each team in the National Football League endure stress, be it a season opener, or the penultimate Super Bowl. Towards the end of the press conference, Coach Peyton musters enough energy to answer some last questions.
Though he looked to be fatigued, he spoke with a calm tone, but simultaneously seemed to be humble. Coach Payton was not an egocentric person, and he gave the credit of the team triumphing over the powerful Minnesota Vikings to the unsung heroes, who were able to train the Saints, and coach them to become victorious. Later on, the New Orleans Saints moved on to Florida and were able to win the Super Bowl for the first time in the history of the franchise of the New Orleans Saints.
