Sunday Leads Years From Other Topics

"I'm a big believer the game is played in all elements," Goodell said. "It's a great part of our history. There's another side that believes when you get to the Super Bowl, the elements shouldn't play a part."

 

Goodell said the two sides have had recent positive discussions regarding the subject and those would continue in the coming weeks.

 

"Those two individuals deserve a lot of respect and appreciation," he stated.

 

Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It's not every Super Bowl where the team with the league's worst record gets as much attention as the two that will be competing for the NFL's most cherished piece of sterling silver. Or when Chad Ochocinco, at long last making it to the ultimate platform to hold court with his trademark flamboyance, offers no material of interest...and no one would even care if he did?

 

It's the first time Indianapolis is getting to host the NFL's showcase spectacle, and the city has been pulling out all the stops to make a lasting impression on the fans and media that have swarmed upon its streets in massive numbers.

 

These folks know how to put on a party. And Brady, one of the league's most recognizable faces, finds himself in the foreign position of being the outcast wallflower for the first time in his brilliant and transcendent career.

 

While Eli Manning's opportunity to permanently etch his own name among the sport's hallowed fraternity of quarterbacks by winning a second Lombardi Trophy -- or one more than his more revered older brother -- has received plenty of notoriety in advance of his Giants' Super Bowl sequel with the Patriots, the place Brady would hold in history if he's able to take New England back to the NFL's summit has been virtually ignored.

 

It could be that Brady is simply taken for granted due to his sustained level of excellence, or maybe it's because it seems more like an eternity than the seven years that have passed since the Patriots last hoisted the championship hardware. And the fact that he's been outshined by Eli Manning two straight times in head-to-head bouts and is coming off an admittedly ho-hum performance in the AFC title game probably has had some bearing on that public perception.

 

Before giving a prediction on how Sunday's matchup could play out, here's a trivia question. What college has the most players on the combined active and reserve rosters for Super Bowl XLVI? (Answer below). A quick hint: it's not a team from the SEC, Big 12 or the Big Ten.

 

An annual highlight of Super Bowl weekend is the announcement of the incoming class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which will be revealed amidst great fanfare on Saturday night. Here's one writer's forecast for who will get to don those garish gold jackets in August, though keep in mind this isn't necessarily an essay on who should be included. It's merely a (somewhat) educated estimation based on the committee's past leanings.
