SHHHHHHHHHH, Marc Farzetta is sleeping.

And deservedly so.

Farzetta capped a wild weekend that started with the Wing Bowl and ended with the Super Bowl. He didn't get back from Phoenix until yesterday afternoon and then he went directly to WIP, where he worked until 2 this morning.

An avid schedule-maker, Farzetta has just one entry on his to- do list for Feb. 3: "Sleep."

The 32-year-old is a host and update anchor at the all-sports radio station. He's also a self-described "Wingettes coordinator" and served as an associate producer for NBC at Super Bowl 49.

His "weekend" began on Thursday at the Wing Bowl weigh-in at Chickie's & Pete's, where he was in charge of organizing the Wingettes. Tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

"That's what everyone says, but you try getting a bunch of 23-year-olds to show up [at the Wells Fargo Center] at 4 a.m.," Farzetta said with a laugh yesterday.

Apparently the buxom babes all made it and Wing Bowl was, as usual, an over-the-top success.

"It's a party that WIP gives to Philadelphia when our sports teams don't provide one," Farzetta said. "[This year] was the best ever."

From there, he headed to Phoenix, where his job was to provide a replay feed to NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth.

It was the third time that Farzetta has worked the two Bowls on the same weekend. And each time there has been a memorable catch.

At XLVI, it was the Giants' Mario Manningham. At XLIII, it was the Steelers' Santonio Holmes. And on Sunday, it was the bobble-licious grab by the Seahawks' Jermaine Kearse.

Unlike his previous Super Bowls, Farzetta had field access this time. And he enjoyed it to the fullest.

"Katy Perry and Missy Elliott walked right by me," he said.

He also fist-bumped Will Ferrell and took a photo with Mark Wahlberg.

"It was a blast," Farzetta said.
