Bears Arrive in Miami
By STEVEN WINE
AP Sports Writer
MIAMI ? Touchdown, Bears. The NFC champions arrived by charter plane to begin Super Bowl preparations, beating AFC champion Indianapolis to Miami by more than 24 hours.
With the game still six days away, the Colts have plenty of time to catch up. But Bears coach Lovie Smith was glad to be the first team in town, especially when a balmy breeze greeted him as he stepped off the plane Sunday.

Coach Smith, Bears Arrive for Super Bowl
MIAMI ? Coach Lovie Smith thumbed through the Indianapolis Colts press guide on a three-hour flight that delivered the Bears from the cold of Chicago to the warm comfort of Florida ? a trip that landed them back at the Super Bowl.
"I looked at 18 pages of Peyton Manning," Smith said Sunday night, about two hours after the Bears touched down at Miami International Airport.

Bears Have 2-Headed Running Attack
By RICK GANO
AP Sports Writer
MIAMI ? When he's fresh, Thomas Jones is at his best. Lighter legs give him the lift to sidestep tacklers and spring forward down the field for the Chicago Bears.
This season he's been able to take some plays off, thanks to the emergence of the man who wants to eventually take his job, Cedric Benson.

From dogs to fighter jets, Super Bowl security a massive effort
CURT ANDERSON
Associated Press
MIAMI - Gavin moved quickly around the spacious convention center, searching for a hidden bomb. Near a glass box containing a fire extinguisher, he sniffed the air and abruptly sat down. Inside was a pound of live high explosives, wrapped in black plastic.
For successfully finding the "bomb," Gavin got a treat from his handler, Special Agent L.A. Bykowsky of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. His training exercise over, the 7-year-old golden Labrador retriever is ready for duty conducting bomb-sniffing sweeps for the Super Bowl and its related events and hotels.

TIM REYNOLDS
Associated Press
MIAMI - Adewale Ogunleye came home for the Super Bowl.
The Chicago defensive end was born in Brooklyn, is the nephew of a Nigerian king and hasn't played for the Miami Dolphins since 2003. Yet he still considers South Florida his home, which makes his first trip to the Super Bowl that much more exciting.
