Meanwhile, the score is 29-17. Not that I'm into these kind of things, but the Vegas over/under minutes before kickoff was 47. Amazing.
Grossman hits Jones for a screen pass, he stays in bounds, and the clock ticks, ticks, ticks away.
Jeff Saturday and co. get Tony Dungy on the Gatorade shower. Peyton Manning's got his Super Bowl ring. I look for the 300-pound woman in the Reggie Wayne jersey. She's hugging her bearded husband in the Harrison jersey. They are happy. The Bears fan giving them the middle finger in front of them is not.
My Super Bowl MVP? I'm fine with Peyton winning it, but think Addai and Rhodes should share the award. This entire season's been about these two. When Edgerrin James left, people wondered how the Colts would ever recover. What they got was one of the league's best running back tandems in years. Two modest men, each one willing to share the carries with the other, who came a long way to get where they are right now.
Their final stat lines?
Joseph Addai: 19 carries, 77 yards; 10 receptions, 66 yards.
Dominic Rhodes: 21 carries, 113 yards, 1 TD; 1 reception, 8 yards.
Give it to 'em both. They've shared the load all year. Why not share the glory?
