• Here's a quick look at a few of the Super Bowl story lines from Monday:
• NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY REDUX? Jonathan Tisch, a co-owner of the New York Giants and co-chairman of the Super Bowl Host Committee, wants the NFL's big game to return to the area every 10 years.
• This will be the first Super Bowl played outdoors in a cold-weather site, and Tisch believes it will be a huge success. And not just on the field. Tisch said holding the game in New York and New Jersey is expected to generate $550 million to $600 million for the region.
• "This is a legacy that will live beyond the game itself," Tisch said. "For years to come, young people, men and women will feel this game was important for the region.

• "I had a goal of playing five years," Rodgers-Cromartie said, "and I reached that."
• He already plans to go back to college, study psychology and become a guidance counselor at his old high school -- whenever he does walk away.
• "I had my fun in this league," he said.
• NO NAMES, BIG GAMES: For all the megastars and All-Pros in the Super Bowl such as Manning, a handful of hardly household names could have a major impact for their teams.
• You know, kind of how Washington running back Timmy Smith did in 1987 or Dallas cornerback Larry Brown in 1996.
• Denver defensive tackle Terrance Knighton is one, signed as a free agent after
