Live in the big easy today, sunday, february 3rd, 2013. From nbc news, this is today with lester holt and erica hill. Live from studio 1a in Rockefeller Plaza welcome to today on this sunday morning. Im erica hill. Im lester holt. It is that time, isnt it . Super bowl time everybody is ready for the super bowl, whether it is the game or the ads or eating like a pig, we have you covered. Cant you do all . I think you can. I think you are encouraged to. Jenna is in new orleans in the thick of it all. Reporter it is the calm before the proverbal storm. Downtown new orleans, things are good, a uple more hours of sleeps for the fans and the coaches and anyone except for the media. Before tonights big game, we are going to talk about some interesting things. What is it like for the starting quarterbacks . They have to rally the team up, calm the team back down. They have a lot of responsibilities. We spoke to last years super bowl mvp, eli manning and caught up with one of this years starting quarterbacks, ravens q. B flacco and nothing says football like a postgame gator aid dunk. All i can say is, when in new orleans all that and much more. I dont think you can see that enough times. We will replay it one time. Talk about taking one for the team, jenna. You dont know what the dry cleaning bill was. You are ex personsipensing i right . So it is fine. This is maybe one of the few times in the year when people want to see the commercial during what they are watching. The ads are such a big draw. We have a sneak peak at what we have seen already. There is a lot more to get to, including some very serious news. The death of the militarys most lethal sniper, shot and killed at a gun range in texas. Coming up, my conversations with him about his actions in iraq. An incredibly patriotic man of faith known for taking a lot of lives but saved so many. And four tours another hero, the bus driver shot to death trying to protect more than 20 children in his care. It happened before a 5yearold boy was taken hostage. We will have more on that and what authorities are trying to do to end this standoff. New frenzy surrounding the dutchess of cambridge. She is keeping a pretty low profile. The tabloids going googoo and gaga, claiming she is finally showing a baby bump. We will make you wait to see that. Lets begin with the shooting death of the most lethal sniper in u. S. History. Chris kyle was fatally shot at a texas gun range. In lancaster, texas, mark, what can you tell us . Reporter lester, that gun range was chris kyles second home practically. We are about 100 miles east of there in lancaster, texas. This is where the suspect, eddy ralph is from, being held in this Police Department, already gone before a judge arraigned on two counts of capital murder. We have some video from the scene on where ralph was captured. We are still trying to get more information on him. At this point, as far as a criminal history, he was convicted of dwi last year. What we are trying to find out is motive, and what, if any, relationship he had with chris kyle and the other victim, chad littlefield. The texas Highway Patrol is one of the agencies investigating. Here is what they say he did right after the murders. He traveled back to his residence in lancaster. Lancaster Police Department was able to catch up with him there. They took him into custody wo without incident after a brief pursuit. Reporter police tell us they have a long way to go on this investigation, still trying to learn a lot more about ralphs background. Dont know if he was in the military, what kind of weapon or gun was used in this crime. We are going to be hearing from the county sheriff later today. Mark snyder from kxas, good to have you on i traveled to texas last february to meet chris kyle. We talked about his four tours in iraq as a navy s. E. A. L. And one shot that made him legendary among fellow snipers. I saw the sergeant on top of the roof. So the movement had me zoom my scope in on him. He had an rpg, trying to hide and stay out of sight of him. About the time i saw he was getting into attack position and raising the rpg, i decided it was time to take the shot. He hit his mark from 2100 yards or 1. 2 miles away, an unheard of distance that stunned even him. 2100 yards . Lucky shot . Extremely lucky shot. Most of those he killed never saw him. When you are going to war, it is not about being fair. Every person i killed, i have a clear conscience of. They were actively trying to harm americans, allies or civilians. He told this all in a book he wrote last year. It is so ironic that four tours in iraq, had some very close calls only to lose his life in texas. He leaves behind a wife and two children. I spoke to her at the time and talked about the fear of him being overseas. With a navy s. E. A. L. , you dont know what they are doing. We lost a true american hero. A terrible mourning for that family. Our hearts go out to them. In turkey, police are reportedly questioning 15 people in connection with the killing of a new york city woman there. Richard engel is live in istanbul this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning, erica. Still, a lot of history surrounding this case. What police here are saying is that the 33yearold woman sarai sierra came to turkey last month for a twoweek holiday. She was a fan of photography, wanted to take pictures here. It was her first trip outside the united states. She was supposed to come with a girlfriend. The girlfriend backed out. During the trip, she was in regular contact with her family. No indication anything was going wrong. Then, on january 21st, the day she was supposed to be leaving, she disappeared. She never arrived at the airport. Her rented apartment where she was staying here still had her things in it. A closed Circuit Television camera showed her walking alone and then she was gone for two weeks. No one had any idea what happened to her until last night. Police found her body dumped near the palace very close to the old city and the police chief says that she died from a brunt trauma wound to the head. Her family members are still here trying to find answers, trying to find what happened to her. So far, they have not spoken to the media. We are told they are too emotional to speak at this stage. Thats understanding. Thank you. Now, to that standoff in alabama. A 5yearold boy has spent more than 110 hours in captivity. Li kidnapper shot a bus driver last week before taking the boy hostage in an underground bunker. Gabe gee tee air rutierrez is fs storiry. Reporter the funeral for that bus driver is set later this afternoon, a day after the local sheriff publicly thanked the suspect who might have access to television for, quote, taking care of our child. A sign of how sensitive these negotiations have become. Charles pohlen was a bus driver that died on the job protecting more than 20 children under his care. Saturday night, mourners lined up to pay their respect as the tense standoff dragged on. It is just devastating. We want it to come to a resolution. We want to save that little child. Reporter the 5yearold child named ethan is still being held hostage in an underground bunker by this man, jimmy lee dykes, neighbors describe as a loaner with a deep distrust of government. We have been in constant communication. Reporter police are talking with him through a ventilation pipe choosing their words carefully. I want to thank him for taking care of our child. Reporter he is allowing ethan potato chips, toys and medicines and the bunker has an electric heater and blankets. The ordeal began tuesday when he grabbed ethan after boarding a school bus and shooting the driver. Kate ott tick scene still weighing on this small town. He was driving by when he noticed children crying on the side of the road. He was so stunned, he crashed his car. I realized something serious had to have happened. There are new ribbons and prayers vigils here. Joshua tucker is one of the organizers. I want our Little Warriors in that bunker with him to get out safe and sound. Reporter a Little Warrior now trapped underground for more than 110 hours. As the standoff drags on, several schools here in dale county remain closed until further notice. Thanks. President obama heads to minneapolis tomorrow to promote his plan to battle gun violence. It is a photo of him firing a shotgun that is getting all the attention. Peter alexander is at the white house. Tomorrow marks the first time that the president is going on the road to push for stiffer gun laws. There was a detour in this debate when the president insisted that all the time he shoots skeet at camp david, all the time, his critics were skeptical. The white house quickly pushed back trying to put the argument to rest. Reporter the white house wanted to silence the sceptics. Instead, the release of this photo, the president firing a shotgun on the range of camp david on his 51st birthday unleashed a new round of attacks. The nra telling the news, one picture does not erase a lifetime of supporting one ban and every gun control scheme imaginable. The controversy first exploded last week. They asked mr. Obama if he ever fired a gun. The president boasted, up at camp david, we do skeet shooting all the time. I have profound respect for the tradition of hunting that traces back for generation. Gun rights advocates were unimpressed including marcia blackburn. I think he should invite me to camp david and ill go skeet shooting with him and i bet ill beat him. Even the late night comedians took aim. Since when did the ability to fire a weapon become a badge of honor, a patriotic achievement. All you need is a finger. With questions lingering, the white house pushed back at calls for photographic proof. When he goes to camp david, he goes to spend time with his family and friends and relax, not to produce photographs. Reporter politicians have come under fire for claiming to be experienced sportsmen. John kerry was mocked for wearing camouflage to go hunting before 2004. And mitt romney in 2007 in his first president ial bid. I have always been a rodent and rabbit hunter, small varmints. The white house tried to shut down the doubters and referred to those who still question where mr. Obama was born. Attention, skeet birthers, make our day. Reporter the white house disputes the nra for guns. From representative blackburn, the white house con seecedes, h would likely use. Chuck todd filling in for David Gregory on meet the press. Nice to see you today. Good morning. The white house essentially pressured into releasing this photo . Should they have done it . Was it in the administrations best interest . I done know. They thought it was catching too much tracks in some circles. They have always been this way when it first started back when they were running for office. The first time the birth certificate question started. They feel as if they have to do something, quote, unquote, feed the beast. Im sort of amused by the kur fufl over all of this. A bit of a tough week in washington if you are looking at chuck hagel this week. With those hearings. Will he end up, in fact, being confirmed. I think he is going to end up getting confirmed. I talked with one republican senator, roy blunt, who said he is going to vote no on hagel but not going to support a fil fillibuster. The bigger question, is he politically Strong Enough to do the things that need to be done in the Defense Department . There will be some huge budget battles. Considering how badly he was treated by republicans and this relationship being as bad as it is between Senate Republicans and chuck hagel, can he he be effective in the job . Open and very important. We will check back with you to see whats coming up on meet the press. Tom llamas is in for jenna. We begin with a scary ride home for a College Visit for dozens of High School Students in boston. The oversize charter bus they were in hit a low overpass sending 34 to the hospital. One is in critical condition. Firefighters had to use the jaws of life to free some of them. They were on their way back to philadelphia after visiting harvard when the crash handed a rough landing for a romanian plane. Heavy winds forced it off the roadway. 50 on board, several with minor injuries back here in the state, it took years to build but only seconds for a san diego power plant to come crashing down. Demolition crews used 300 pounds of dynamite to implode the decommissioned plant. It was built in the 1950s. The space will be used for public parks the folks behind the oscars may be saying oops. Argo director, ben affleck, picked up another top honor on saturday night. He was name outstanding director at the Directors Guild award. He was not nominated by academy awards. He has won at the golden globes, the Screen Actors Guild and the producers guild. Thats the news. Back to lester, erica, and dillen. He is racking them up. Best picture but no best director. It was pretty good. Argo was excellent. I am still way behind. I havent seen it yet. I think i have been waiting for it. Weather first and then argo. Forget the super bowl. Were going lot of snow showers moving through west virginia, connecticut, and eastern tennessee. It will not accumulate all that much. And you will see the flakes falling, and we could end up 1 to 3 inches, and these are quickmoving systems that will move in early next week as well, they move in from the north and off the midatlantic coast. Down across the southeast, it will be mild today. Thats a look at the weather across the country, and now heres a peek out your window.

In our kitchen, a battle of the super bowl sandwiches. First, these messages. My dentist said that the acid in fruit, or fruit juice or fruit teas softens the enamel so that then it can potentially erode. Once that enamel is gone, its gone. My dentist recommended that i use pronamel to help harden that enamel so that its not brushed away. Pronamel protects your teeth from the effects of acid erosion.

And theres a little bit of light snow showing up on radar as well, so dont put away the brooms just yet and you may have to sweep away a quarter to half inch during the course of the morning. Temperatures could get up in the 30s, and that will sweep away most of the snow. Now we go back to the today show. Back on a sunday morning, february 3rd, 2013. Thanks to all the folks that have come out on a pretty brisk sunday morning. Thanks to you as well. Im lester holt with erica hill, dylan dreyer and tom jamas. It is great to have you here. It is game day in new orleans. Fans are getting ready to root on their favorite team. Jenna is there with a preview. Reporter we have a lot coming up in the next half hour. We are going to talk to many so of the fans and we are going to hear from some of the quarterbacks in the game and maybe we will even take a gator aid bath. Just for good measure. Well talk to you in a minute. Of course, for many people, it is not just about the game. It is also about the commercials. Were going to take a look at some of those ads, which can be big wins and losses of their own. Some of the wins creating some buzz, some you may not have seen. A little sneak peek action. We are going to look back at the timehonored tradition of the gator aid shower, where it started, how it feels. You know jenna. She is definitely going to try it out. Forget football. We are talking sandwiches and with this faceoff, it is the battle of the super bowl sandwiches, Grilled Cheese versus beef. You dont want to miss this one. This is going to be tough. Plus, im ready for breakfast. Dylan has a check of the weather for us. Next so gatorade showers may be tough in its this cold. Down in new orleans, sunny and mild. 64 degrees, and looks awesome for the game. And next year the average for february 2nd, 32 degrees in new york city. We will see how it shapes up next year.

There is popcorn everywhere. Where is this coming from . It is your sweet 16. Thats awesome. This is all working out here. There we go. Holding it like a little baby, which is a perfect segue to our next story. We havent seen a lot of the dutchess of cambridge. She has been laying pretty low since we learned she is expecting. You knew that couldnt last forever. Thats right. There are now perhaps just slightest little hint of a baby bump in the picture. Reporter a picture is splashed across the british tabloids with the headline, kates baggy bump. If you look closely, she does look like she is finally showing as she carries the most anticipated baby in the world and her cheeks seem fuller as well. The dutchess of cambridge is now more than three months pregnant. Apart from this outing with husband, william, to inspect her porait at a lond gallery, she has kept outof sight preferring to stay at home frustrating royal watchers and a nation eager of information. The announcement of her pregnancy was tainted by the tragedy that followed with the death of a nurse that was caught up in a hoax phone call made by two australian radio d. J. S. Royal sources say she is recovering well from the extreme morning sickness she suffered early in her pragegnancy. She is back to normal in many respects. Her morning sickness seems to have passed. She wants to show the world she is not ill, just pregnant. She wants to carry on promoting her charity engagements. In the meantime, refurbishment of the royal couples new home is nearly complete. William spent his early years here. His new baby will too. One thing seems clear, kate will not adopt the figurehugging attire loved by some celebrities during pregnancy. She will go for the baggy, floaty look, perhaps more dignified for a future queen. You want to talk super bowl. We havent done that. Is today the super bowl . It is in a matter of hours. Footballs best faceoff in new orleans. Jenna is outside the superdome. I checked it is actually here. After weeks of hype and hoop la, the super bowl xlvii is finally here.

Love it, love it. It is amazing. For one wild rise of football, fans, and fun. Tonight, its the best in the nfc going up against the best in the afc, harbaugh versus harbaugh as the Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers. They are predicting a tight game. We know how the fans get ready for the big day but what about the players . I caught up with last years super bowl mvp, eli manning, in town promoting xbox connect. Tell me what the ritual is the night before the super bowl . They like routine, doing the same thing. If you eat pasta every wednesday, eat pasta. If you get a massage on thursday, get it. Here is ravens quarterback, joe flacco. When you see it from afar it is like this thing that is not real. When you are here, it is tough to believe you are here which allows us to relax and play. Taking the field a starstudded lineup. Jennifer hudson with american the beautiful. Alicia key singing the National Anthem have the at hialftime. And beyonce who made this promise. I will be sinlging loud. Thats not the only promise. We already know which team will win, coach harbaughs. I know you are not betting folks but if you were, i would tell you the 49ers are favored by 3 1 2 points but it is close. If you wanted to go further and have me tell you the over under is 47 1 2, i would. Lets not complicate things. Lets tune in. 49ers by 13. Take it to the bank or not. You got it. Im sorry. He didnt really mean that. Jenna, thanks. Up next, super bowl commercials. The companies hope to score with viewers during the big game right after these messages.

The big game is still hours away. The companys advertising curing the game are creating buzz, samsung have been releasing online teasers. They want to peak your interest. Is that leaving surprise for tonight . A sneak peek of some of the more memorable ads. Matt miller, president and ceo of the association of independent commercial producers. Good morning. Great to be here. The cost of a 30second ad is 3. 8 million. How does that compare for other mustsee or big events . It is the biggest. There is no other event that is even close. The biggest events we have have 20 million viewers. We are talking about 111 million viewers. When you put it in scale that way, the fact that we are all watch that is at the same time, and there is that water cooler and now the digital water cooler. We are all online. We are sharing it. 40 of the people that watch the super bowl will share ads. Facebook friends average 118 facebook friends per person. Almost 5 billion impressions ultimately through social media and everything else. Now, we see the strategy of sharing before, sharing after. People talking about the response during the game. You see an absolute bargain. Thats why it is so expensive. It is such a unique element. Lets look at some of these buzz worthy ads. The first is from samsung. The next big thing. Ideas. You know, samsung wants me to be in like their big commercial. Next big thing. They called me in for the next big thing. Maybe in 1998 you were the next big thing. Ive never seen you this excited about something that wasnt food. You make people physically uncomfortable. They gave me a phone. I have one too. Where did you get that . They gave it to me, because im the next big thing. This makes no sense. Are you sure you are not here to see a guy named sam sung. Youtube got Something Like 5 million hits, a little teaser leading up to the ultimate ad. The teaser went out last week. Thats the first time anyone has seen the actual spot, a twominute spot thats going to be airing in the third quarter. Another little cameo there. You are going to see lebron james as well. A little spoiler alert. They took on apple bigtime last year. If you remember the spoof of the lines waiting for the store to move up. It increased their market share huge. Droid is by far outselling iphones and samsung in a bigger way. Now, were going to see Something Else in this game. They are going to be in there with blackberry for the First Time Ever as they go for their life support. Let me ask you about budweiser. They have a new tape. I love this commercial. Look at this xhirgs. My love took it down climbed a mountain and took it down i dont know if it makes me want to have a beer but its really cute. It is amazing. The clydesdales have been in super bowl commercials 23 times since 1986. Weve had this continuing story about being close and feeling emotion with the clydesdales. This one is really interesting, because the first scene, you see a foal, a newborn foal who was one week when we shot it. He is two weeks out. They are bringing the audience in through twitter and saying, help us name this foal. The winner will be the name of the horse. Im pushing hard for lester. I think it is hard for them to feet the field goal clydesdale. Matt, nice to see you this morning. Enjoy the ads tonight. You too. Thank you. The battle of the super bowl sandwiches still ahead. First, these messages. Vacation is a precious thing. This year, dont just take time off. Put time in. Turn spending time with your family into spending time as a family. At the one place where every heartpounding, jawdropping, goosebumping second counts. Its your vacation. Dont just take it. Mean it. Universal orlando. Vacation like you mean it. Tell me im beautiful. Tell me well grow old together. In sickness and in health. Tell me that im still the one. That you need me. That im your super hero tell me youll never let me go. Tell me you miss me. Thats all i need. [ female announcer ] for everything they need to hear this valentines day, theres a hallmark card. Over the years, postvictory celebrations have varied regardless of which team wins. We know there will be some sideline partying in new orleans. Jenna is there and has narrowed down the field to the absolute most crowd pleasing cheer of all. Thehere is the deal. There are many postgame winning traditions. In ping pong, the highfive. In swimming, the hug. In basketball, the chest bump but in football, there is the time honored tradition of the dunk. It is called an American Sports tradition and a symbolic crowning achievement on the football field. It has become almost as much of the game as the coin toss and the National Anthem. If you win, you will get wet. The icy sensation, when you dont know it is coming, it really stuns you for a minute. Here comes the bucket. I think he knows it. A full vat of gator aid. It is better to have two people. We got them. It dates back to 1984 when the Chicago Bears clinched the division and defensive end dan hampton eyed a gator aid bucket. When i dumped it over ditka, i was trying to stick it over his head. He had no idea. The new york giants put the shower on the map. Once they started, they couldnt stop because their coach, bill parcells, was superstitious. He got creative. Parcells has changed shirts and is in a security uniform now. What i wanted to do was get the gator aid on his head, not necessarily on his neck or back. I wanted to see it splash down from the heavens from the top of his head and cover his whole upper torso. Not all nfl coaches have warmed up to it. Coaching legend, don shula forbid it. He said, i picked off in outfit and i dont want it ruined. I prefer to be carried off the field. You are probably the only coach. You watch any Football Game and there will be a coach that will get doused. You are right. Those players take great part in doing that. The way they sneak up behind the coach. Almost three decades later, it is still a postvictory tradition with a little more strategy. They have it figured out. It is almost to a science now. Regardless of how cold the dung may feel, it only happens when you win. That is the greatest feeling in the entire never mind. I take it back. A couple things to know, the gator aid was very cold, very orange and very much still in my hair right now. Keeping with tradition, you guys, because we are all in the family, dare i tell you not to turn around where you are sitting. Do not . No. I would like the record to show that lester actually jumped further back than i did. I did. I looked up. I bet the first words. I tried to. They wouldnt go for it. Listen, lester. They said lester would be upset. It was a whole thing. We had a plan but you didnt want it. I took the heat and i took the cold obviously. I like it. Next year, your getting dunked. Very nice. Well, next year, well be in new york as dylan pointed out. It will be a little cold. That will be lovely on the plaza, four jugs of gator aid from gator aid to sandwiches, time for todays kitchen super bowl style. No matter which team you are cheering for, we are going to find out whether San Francisco or baltimore will win in the battle. Here to help us do that, pit master, kenny cal abegan, executive chef. What makes these sandwiches unique representatives of their perspective cities . San fran versus baltimore. San francisco is famous for bread and Green Goddess dressing. This is my take. It is like a Grilled Cheese on steroids. How can you go wrong with that . This is the Green Goddess dressing. You can scoop some africa g anchovies. I never realized that was in it. It gives it a little salty flavor. You can help me assemble the sandwiches, a little sourdough, two pieces. Spread some Green Goddess on there liberally. Both sides.
