WASHINGTON (AP) -Twenty-four hours after his defense stymied the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, New York Giants assistant Steve Spagnuolo had to steady himself amid euphoria and begin his interview process with the Washington Redskins.

Spagnuolo and team owner Dan Snyder spoke by phone for 90 minutes Monday night about the Redskins coaching vacancy. Then, after another euphoric moment - Tuesday's ticker-tape parade for the Giants through Manhattan in which players and coaches received keys to the city

He wants Moss back next season, but the receiver can become a free agent.

``I would love to be in a New England Patriots uniform,'' he said, ``but, if not, the show must go on.''

Star cornerback Asante Samuel also could leave as a free agent after the Patriots designated him as their franchise player when he held out for a long-term contract before the season.

PHOENIX (AP) -Super Bowl fans had hit the parties and seen the big game and by Monday they were ready to go home.

Fans poured out of Arizona by the thousands the day after the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots, some of them eager to get over their hangovers, others still marveling at what will go down as one of the biggest upsets in pro football history.

``Coming into this thing I knew it was going to be crazy getting out of here Monday, but it was so worth it,'' said Kevin Ciccotti, a 46-year-ol

``I can't let that loss take away from everything that happened this season,'' Harrison said.

Moss, who took a pay cut for a shot at the Super Bowl, may not be back for another with the Patriots.

``I would love to be in a New England Patriots uniform,'' he said, ``but, if not, the show must go on.''

It will continue with Belichick and Brady, of course, partners in four Super Bowls - all decided by three points.

``We usually are on the better side of those three-point wins,'' Brady sa

Tom Brady and Randy Moss pulled out of the Pro Bowl on Monday, a day after the New England Patriots were beaten in the Super Bowl.

After throwing a league-record 50 touchdown passes during the season, Brady was battered by the New York Giants during their 17-14 win Sunday. He has been bothered by a tender ankle and was photographed in New York wearing a protective boot two weeks prior to the Super Bowl.

Brady, who first injured his ankle against San Diego in the AFC championship game, was sacked five times b

Manning finally delivered on those high expectations when he led a game-winning 83-yard touchdown drive in the closing minutes of Sunday's 17-14 win over the New England Patriots. He was the MVP of a Super Bowl that will be long remembered as one of the greatest upsets in football.

``I couldn't be happier,'' Accorsi said Monday at the Giants' team hotel. ``I have a thick skin. To me, it was part of the job. If he wasn't pl

NEWARK, N.J. - The New York Giants aren't the only winners in the team's upset victory over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Hats, T-shirts and other gear bearing the Giants logo started flying off the racks at sporting goods stores around the New York area right after the game ended, and the NFL estimated Monday that the total sales of official Super Bowl merchandise could surpass the $125 million record set more than a decade ago.
