List of inactives for the Super Bowl:

Giants: QB Jared Lorenzen, RB Danny Ware, DB Geoffrey Pope, OT Adam Koets, DT Manny Wright, WR Sinorice Moss, TE Jerome Collins, DT Russell Davis.

Patriots: QB Matt Gutierrez, WR Chad Jackson, CB Antwain Spann, OT Wesley Britt, OG Billy Yates, WR Troy Brown, TE Stephen Spach, DL Santonio Thomas.

Early on, it appears as though the Patriots have won the fan battle, though it could feel that way because there are five sections of New England fans seated right next to us in the auxiliary press box. I guess we'll know for sure after the first score of the game. The Giants are well represented, but there's no question the Pats have more followers who made the trip.

Also worthy of note is the look the Patriots' veterans have on their faces before kickoff. A serious look of confidence, like I've never seen before from this team, as successful as they've been. Nodding at each other, lower jaws sticking out. It just seems like they're all business.
