Super Bowl Thoughts

Hello. Just saw the Super Bowl was the 3rd most watched program ever in numbers, behind the MASH final episode and the 1996 Super Bowl. Very good news for the NFL.
The matchup was a natural for ratings. Chicago hadn't been to the big dance since '86. The Colts hadn't been since '71, when they were based in Baltimore. Needless to say both teams and their fans were very hungry for a victory.
And of course, there were the big 3 (Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy and Bill Polian) trying to get the monkeys off their backs. Manning and Dungy had never been there before. Polian had been Buffalo's GM in their 4 consecutive trips to the Super Bowl. I'm sure all 3 are relieved, because a loss as the favoured team would've brought the media on them until they eventually won.
What now for Chicago in general, and Rex Grossman in particular? Will Rex still be in Chicago next year? Or will Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb or Michael Vick (or others) be replacing him?
And is Tony Dungy done now? He has hinted at retirement before. Will Bill Parcells or someone else come?
All very interesting pre and post-game questions which made it a ratings blockbuster. Congrats Indy!

Regards,
Steve
