TEAMS: New England Patriots,  New York Giants

INDIANAPOLIS _ This stat blew me away. No, it wasn’t Tom Brady’s career passer rating in his four Super Bowl. No, it wasn’t Eli Manning’s comeback numbers. The Super Bowl opening coin toss? The NFL has won it 14 years in a year. I can’t make heads or tails out of the that. (No wait! I gotta million of them!!) Not surprisingly, for this Super Bowl XLVI, 75 percent of the bets are coming in on the Giants to win the toss. By the way, for those who bet heads or tails, here’s the stats through the first 45 Super Bowls: 23 heads, 22 tails. What are the odds? Supposedly 50-50 every year. The odds of winning 14 coin tosses in a row: 16,383 to 1, according to Vegas.

There was a scary moment in last night’s Super Bowl XLVI, when QB Tom Brady was crushed by Giants DL Justin Tuck. He got up shaky, and doctors surrounded him. Quickly, backup Brian Hoyer began to throw. Brady ended up going back in, but he finished 7 for his last 17, and he wasn’t the same. After the game, I asked Hoyer what those moments were like. “I just gotta...

Matt Vensel, Sports Blitz : A fun game down to the whistle, this one was eerily reminiscent of the last times these teams met in the Super Bowl.

Can you believe Eli has more titles than Peyton and one fewer than...
