Watchdog

Here is a story I wrote for the Web site based on a locker room chat with John Mara, grandson of the Giants' founder and one of the classiest owners in pro sports.

I spoke to him shortly after congratulating John Johnson, 90, who retired after the game after 60 years (!) as a member of the training staff.

Good way to go out? "Absolutely fantastic, as far as I’m concerned,'' he said.

That's it for the blogging for now. I have a newspaper column to write. But I never am far from your Super Bowl coverage. This morning I inadvertently sat directly behind Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning at the coach/MVP news conference while a dozen photographers snapped their pictures.

If you see a dorky, tired, unshaven guy in a short-sleeved shirt behind Eli' s head in the pictures . . . that's me.
