The unsettled quarterback situation in Minnesota is one of the most intriguing of the offseason. Much like the Cardinals, Panthers, Titans, Redskins and 49ers, the Vikings have no clear-cut starter and are in search of the next franchise passer.

When news broke Monday that Sean Payton intended to relocate to Dallas and commute to New Orleans for his job as coach of the Saints, it seemed an awful lot like a non-story. Quite frankly, it still does.

At some point when things start to fade, we’ll each be left with a few moments we remember most from Super Bowl XLV. After much deliberation, here’s a look at my key moments that determined the game.

After a ride down Main Street USA with Mickey yesterday, Aaron Rodgers flew to NYC for a little sit down with Dave on the “Late Show with David Letterman.”

NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock breaks down his list of top defensive ends available in the 2011 NFL Draft, a group he projects to have seven to eight first-round picks.

Can the Packers repeat? It’s a natural conversation to have, especially given the makeup of these Packers. And the team seems very confident they have the nucleus to be back.

Now that Aaron Rodgers is the Super Bowl MVP, he’s also set to become this year’s “MMP” as the league’s most marketable player.

Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton said Friday at Super Bowl festivities that he hopes to work with retiring QB Brett Favre in the coming months as he prepares for the NFL Scouting Combine and the draft.

Here are a few of my initial observations on the Packers and Steelers after getting a second look at the game during some initial film work on Monday.

For the superstitious among you, the believers in omens and curses, here’s a little back story on why Aaron Rodgers didn’t get fitted for a Super Bowl XLV ring like the rest of his teammates.

The last item of the day before signing off from Super Bowl Sunday is to take a closer look at some of the most notable statistics sent over by the NFL Network research crew.

It certainly wasn’t the type of Super Bowl performance that Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger had in mind.

The Packers and Steelers set the Super Bowl record for fewest rushing attempts in a game for both teams (36).

Even though Charles Woodson wouldn’t be able to play during the second half of the Super Bowl due to a broken collarbone, the emotional leader of the Packers reflected on the moment and his first Super Bowl in 13 NFL seasons.

The Packers came into the Super Bowl, heck into the playoffs, with 15 players on injured reserve. They leave Cowboys Stadiums as World Champions. And they leave with 44 players under 30. The Packers could very well be on the verge of a dynasty.
