Thank you. From a April 2008 article on Lew:

"Remember Super Bowl Sunday?
Perkins swears he didn’t plan to be on TV in front of millions of people that night. He serves on a board at Gatorade, and Peyton Manning is a spokesman for the company.
"That was just a freak oddity," Perkins says. "(Peyton) went back there because he was hoping nobody would see him! If he wanted a drink, I’d go down and bring it up. He didn’t think the cameras would find him. We were there first. He just happened to stand behind me."

Cool video but Strahan is wrong about watching it for the first time, because I have the dvds of that playoff run, on one of the dvds is the Super Bowl 42 fox broadcast and another video is Strahan narrating the whole game of Super Bowl 42, maybe he means its the first time since then as in 2008.
