...also the fact that kickers are sizzling these days, and the Bears and Colts sport the two of the game's best, Robbie Gould and Adam Vinatieri. Kickers are 42 for 45 on field goals this postseason - a 93% rate - and they often mean the difference between a post-season victory and defeat. So expect plenty of field goal attempts on Super Sunday, which means just as many chances for the snappers and holders to screw up in front of 140 million viewers...

"The guy he reminds you of is Larry Bird," says Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler...
...against the top-ranked Wildcats. The Crimson made a strong effort but was ultimately overwhelmed by UNH’s skill and speed in a 3-1 loss. The defeat ended a campaign that began a mystery, became a disappointment, and wound up—given its gritty post-season performance—a vindication.Harvard started the 2005-06 season having lost its top five scorers from a year ago: record-setting forward Nicole Corriero and all-star defenseman Ashley Banfield to graduation, and Julie Chu, Caitlin Cahow, and Sarah Vaillancourt to represent their countries in the Winter Games...
