When Tom Brady’s Hail Mary pass in the Super Bowl fell incomplete Sunday night, Bill O’Brien’s role as Patriots offensive coordinator ended and he could begin to turn his full attention to running the Penn State football program.
That is not to say that Bill O’Brien has not already started to make his mark on the program even from afar.
There have been some subtle changes; mustaches and beards are now OK, as are hats inside the building, a no-no from the Paterno regime and some not so subtle ones.

Give Gisele Bundchen points for sticking up for her husband, Patriots QB Tom Brady.
While waiting for an elevator at Lucas Oil Stadium after the game, Bundchen was heckled by some Giants fans and she responded with the falling rant:
“My husband can not f—— throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times,”
Wide receiver Deion Branch and tight end Aaron Hernandez dropped passes on New England‘s final drive while the normally reliable Wes Welker was visible upset over his crucial drop late in the fourth quarter.

Once again Eli Manning got the better of the New England Patriots by making less mistakes and more plays than the Pats. Here are some of the big moments in the game:
Safety
The Pats first offensive play could not have went worse as Tom Brady was called for intentional grounding while in the end zone, a penalty that cost the Pats two points. And the safety had big ramifications. Without it, the Giants would have been trailing by 17-13 on their final drive. Instead, the Giants were down 17-15, and needed only a field goal to go ahead.

For the fifth consecutive year a quarterback has been named the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the 2011 winner in a landslide. He picked up 48 votes out of a possible 50 to easily distance himself from New Orleans quarterback.
“It means a lot to be recognized as a consistent player and contributing on my team,” Rodgers said. “I think it’s an award that relies on a player having the support of his teammates, obviously, guys blocking, guys running, guys catching, guys making plays. But I’m very honored to receive the award.”

No surprise that the Associated Press has named San Francisco’s Jim Harbaugh its NFL Coach of the Year.
In his first season as an NFL coach, Harbaugh guided the 49ers to a 13-3 mark and the NFC West title and the conference championship game. The 49ers turnaround was even more remarkable considering that the NFL lock-out sharply reduced the amount of time Harbaugh had to implement his ideas.
“I think it was an amazing season,” Harbaugh said. “In a lot of ways, beyond description. Incredible”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said today that he is optimistic an agreement will be reached with the Players Association to begin testing players for use of human growth hormone this off-season.
The NFL announced following the labor agreement with the NFLPA that players would be tested for the performance enhancing drug this season, but the union has resisted, questioning the fairness and accuracy of the test.
Goodell said he thought there would be HGH testing during the off-season and regular season.

There was a welcome sight on the practice field on Thursday as New England tight end Rob Gronkowski participated on a limited basis for the first time since suffering a sprained left ankle during the AFC Championship Game.
“He did some things. He didn’t do everything,” Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said. “We’ll see how he is tomorrow. I think that will be the big key — how he responds to this today.”
Asked how encouraged he was by what Gronkowski did Thursday, Belichick said,
