"The best revenge is massive success." - Frank Sinatra

It will surely have been a good night for the New York Giants if Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" is blaring from the public address system at Lucas Oil Stadium at the conclusion of Super Bowl XLVI. On the other hand, the New England Patriots are the team angling to live out the Chairman of the Board's famous quote about revenge.

Don't let anything that Tom Brady, Bill Belichick or anyone in a Patriots uniform says disabuse you of the notion that Super Bowl XLII loomed large in the psyches of both teams leading up to Sunday. Well, there is one exception. Believe Rob Gronkowski. He probably wasn't thinking about it much.

Of course, that this is Round II of one of the most compelling NFL games of all time is merely one of several interesting subplots. After all, who would have thought at the beginning of the 2011 season that Eli Manning would have a chance to surpass his older brother Peyton -- perhaps permanently -- in Super Bowl championships? Who would have thought that defensive mastermind Bill Belichick would take his Patriots to another Super Bowl with one of the worst defenses in the league? Meanwhile, Tom Brady has a chance to win his fourth Super Bowl, tying him with Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw for most all time.

And, don't forget that we'll be treated to another barrage of Super Bowl commercials.
