Bill Parcells made the cut and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Michael Strahan misses out.
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.
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?"
Exhibit A: Mark Sanchez's contract, a major factor in the Jets' salary cap predicament.
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.
"I think the brand is promoted by winning," Tannenbaum said. "...All (Johnson) cared about was winning. You guys have been to our facility, (and) it's the best facility of any team in any sport in the country. And that's really what he cares about."
The NFL will survive. If it doesn't it will be because the league priced itself out of existence, not because of reformed rules.
"It was my decision," Tannenbaum said. "...We felt that it was going to be another club in the bag to help us on offense. That was our thinking when we made the decision."
"Obviously (a) bad choice of words," the Ravens QB said one day after using an insensitive term to describe his distaste for cold-weather Super Bowls.
