Bill Parcells made the cut and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Michael Strahan misses out.
In Jets and Giants territory, there has not exactly been big demand for Super Bowl memorabilia this year.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said that next year's Super Bowl at the stadium used by the Giants and Jets will "have an impact on future decisions for open-air, cold-weather sites."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he believes that there will be an agreement soon with the players' union for testing for human growth hormone.
Less than 18 months after the league and players ended a lockout, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith and union president Domonique Foxworth used a Super Bowl news conference to lay out a series of complaints about safety issues on Thursday.
If the selection committee doesn't pick Michael Strahan for the Hall of Fame on Saturday, they'll have to answer to Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck. And nobody wants that.
The chorus features 26 children from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., where 20 first-graders and six adults were killed in a Dec. 14 shooting rampage.
"I've always enjoyed (Rex Ryan) as a coach and as a person," Umenyiora said. "That might be a good fit. (But) hopefully it will be with the Giants.''
I've been alive and lucid for about 37 of the 47 Super Bowls, and it's hard to recall a game this big shrink in the shadow of peripheral stories.
The coaching matchup in this game appears even. But the quarterback advantage goes to the 49ers, and the defense advantage also goes to the Niners. San Francisco will join the Steelers as the only six-time winners of the Super Bowl.
If you're like me then you want to know, "Who in the heck ever figured out that a deer's antler could have medicinal properties?"
"I feel like guys were flat," Cruz told WFAN's Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton. "You know, you could feel it, you could feel those games when guys just don't have anything left."
Of all the topics that Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis wanted to talk about at Super Bowl media day, deer-antler spray probably was not on the list.
The NFL will survive. If it doesn't it will be because the league priced itself out of existence, not because of reformed rules.
Reese has shown he can hold a hard line when negotiating with players, but now he must bring in new talent. There will be no excuses if he can't upgrade the Giants' defensive personnel next year.
