No Super Bowl a permanent void in Barry Sanders' career

Barry Sanders finished his NFL career with 15,269 yards rushing and 99 touchdowns.

Sean Payton's gutsy call will go down in Super Bowl lore

Sean Payton's Saints lost three straight to end the regular season, then won three straight in the playoffs to win the Super Bowl.

John Niyo: Super Bowl Insider

Peyton Manning's stats don't tell entire story

Peyton Manning completed 31 of 45 passes for 333 yards and a touchdown, but an interception that was returned for a late touchdown made for a long walk off the Sun Life Stadium field.

Alex Karras another ex-Lion who belongs in Hall

Tom Dempsey, 19, who is missing a hand and part of his right foot, moves up to kick a 63-yard field goal in New Orleans on Nov. 8, 1970. The record-setting kick, with 2 seconds left in the game, gave the Saints an upset 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions. Alex Karras, 71, left, rushes the kicker and Saints Bill Cody, 66, blocks while Joe Scarpati, 21, holds the ball.

There's a famous photograph, now a best-selling poster, depicting a mob of angry men mugging an opposing football player in his own backfield. - 02/08/2010

Super Bowl: Scenes and seen

Roger Daltrey, left, and Pete Townshend of The Who take to the stage for the halftime show, which drew critics who questioned Townhend's inclusion considering his past child-porn charges (the charges were dropped). The duo sang "Pinball Wizard," "Baba O'Riley," "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Who's Next" and "See me, feel me" from Townshend's 1969 rock opera "Tommy."

Pete Townshend is used to playing in front of stadiums filled with rabid fans who know every note of The Who's songs. He didn't get that at the band's halftime performance, but he's OK with that too. - 02/08/2010
