"It won't get in-depth as far as what happened in practice and stuff like that," Underwood said. "But it will basically be comments on the game, only from someone who will obviously have a bit more knowledge about it than a regular fan."
In an interview with Mashable hours before the Super Bowl XLVI kickoff, Underwood was positive, upbeat and gracious about a strange past day.
The team hopes to bring Underwood back next season, according to the Boston Herald, but released him because of a late decision to add another defensive lineman to their Super Bowl rotation.
Underwood went from two weeks of preparation for the game, to receiving the bad news, to gaining some 5,000 new followers overnight after he posted this series of classy tweets on Saturday afternoon:

In a subsequent message, Underwood thanked his supporters and well-wishers.
"Ever since I've been here, the New England organization has treated me with a lot of class, so I just wanted to do the same," he told Mashable.
Underwood said that following his series of messages he received an "unreal" amount of support from around the Twittersphere. The number of followers on his @TiUnderwood account jumped from just over 7,000 on Saturday morning to more than 12,000 by Sunday afternoon.
"It's been pretty cool," he said of the positive reaction. But he added that he has also received a number of mean-spirited messages from people "who don't understand the business side of football, being on the outside looking in."
Underwood had recently expressed his excitement about about the game and devotion to his team by shaving the Patriots logo into the back of his head.
"It's going to be different watching the game on TV, knowing that you put in the time, put in the reps to be a part of the game," Underwood told Mashable. "But I get to sit back and watch as a fan now, and I'll be rooting for the Patriots."
