<p>With the 48th Super Bowl taking place yesterday many of the players were interviewed and asked what they do to relax before the most important day in the football season. The Wall Street Journal interviewed Brancos&#8217; Nate Irving who reveled his love for <em>Pokémon</em>. The 25 year old linebacker said instead of sightseeing he is spending his time playing his <em>Pokémon</em> game in his hotel room. Within the interview Irving did not reveal which <em>Pokémon</em> game he is currently playing but did explain he takes his Nintendo handheld, assuming it is a 3DS, with him on various trips. The interview also states that Irving used to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game growing up. Unfortunetly the interviewer failed to ask which Pokémon is his favorite, but perhaps Irving would rather it remain a mystery.</p>
