| pset in itself. What will this win mean in five, 10, 20 years? Impossible to say, of course, though the Giants don't really look like a team on the brink of a dynasty. They lost six games, after all, the most for a Super Bowl Champion since the 1988 San Francisco 49ers, and there aren't any Joe Montanas or Jerry Rices on this Lombardi winner. Too many of the team's key players - Michael Strahan, Amani Toomer, R.W. McQuarters, Sam Madison among them - are nearing the end of the line to make New York a popular pick |

He's a heck of a coach.'' Former San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions coach Mariucci was interviewed for the first - and so far only - time on Wednesday, according to the person familiar with the process. Fassel and Meeks have both had at least three meetings with Snyder. Spagnuolo, widely praised |

Goodell also said that the Bills will play three preseason games in Toronto over the next five years. The announcements come as the NFL continues its effort to increase popularity outside of the U.S. The league played its first regular-season game outside of America in 2005, when more than 100,000 people saw the Arizona Cardinals play the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City. |

WASHINGTON (AP) -It's time to move Steve Mariucci from ``maybe'' to ``definite'' on the list of Washington Redskins coaching candidates.

The interview will take place in Arizona before the Super Bowl on Sunday, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Redskins have not public |

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -The San Francisco 49ers made Ted Tollner their quarterbacks coach Wednesday, promoting the veteran assistant who gave a boost to the club's struggling offense late last year. Tollner's new title also includes a designation as ``assistant to the head coach,'' Mike Nolan. San Francisco also hired Adam Gase as an offensive assistant. Tollner, the former USC coach and longtime NFL offensive assistant, rejoined the 49ers' staff in late November for the final six games. He was an assista |

The latest rumored candidate is Steve Mariucci, the former San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions coach who now works for the NFL Network. Mariucci, who is in Arizona for the Super Bowl, was noncommittal when asked about the Redskins opening on the air by his colleagues Tuesday. ``I am open-minded ... but right now there's no |

At the same time, the Giants (10-6 in the regular season) are the first six- loss team to reach a Super Bowl since the 1988 San Francisco 49ers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals after finishing 10-6 that year. New York, which went 3-5 at home this season, is the first of 84 Super Bowl participants to reach the game's ultimate stage after finishing with a losing mark on its home field. The G-M |

Ainge threw three incompletions in the end zone, leaving only 2 seconds on the clock for a final play. ``On that last play, you have a chance to call anything because it's the last play,'' said South coach Mike Nolan of the San Francisco 49ers. ``Whereas the ones prior, he just had to keep it alive and not use up all the clock. A play like that you call it the first or second play and we never get another play off. It was a great call and it worked.'' Ainge earned South offensive MVP ho |
