This year Super Sunday falls just two days before Super Tuesday. (Feb. 3 4 will be known as Mediocre Monday.) To deal with the insuperable superness of it all, Fox, broadcaster of this year’s Super Bowl, plans to meld its political and its sports coverage, adding a morning Fox News segment to the top of its pregame coverage. The three-hour pre-pregame will be hosted by Shepard Smith and will feature reports from around the campaign trail.
