When will Yankees’ prospects make majors?
Here’s the latest on the Super Bowl, via the Associated Press:
The teams have cleared the field and the Super Bowl pre-game festivities are close to beginning.
The New England Patriots jogged off the turf to cheers at Houston’s NRG Stadium while the Atlanta Falcons ran through some of their plays as part of final preparations Sunday.
Tom Brady got the biggest roar during warmups by running the length of the field and throwing some fist pumps at the crowd from the end zone with the Patriots logo. The 39-year-old New England star is trying to become the first quarterback to win five Super Bowls.
After the players left, workers began setting up speakers and a small stage that mirrored part of the NFL logo at midfield.

President Donald Trump is predicting an 8-point victory by the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Trump made the prediction during a Fox News interview taped Saturday and aired a few hours before the game.
While Trump counts Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as a friend and says he likes coach Bill Belichick and owner Bob Kraft, he also praises the Atlanta Falcons as a “fantastic team.”
But, Trump says, “You have to stick up for your friends, right?”
Trump tells Fox News host Bill O’Reilly that the Patriots are more comfortable because they’ve been to the big game before. He says, “Once you’ve done it, there’s a lot less pressure.”
The Patriots have won the Super Bowl four times while the Falcons have played for the championship once and lost.
