Talk:Super Bowl XLVI

message: The article states that Kyle Arrington led the New England Patriots in tackles for the season, but he did not. Jerod Mayo had 95 tackles which is more than Arrington's 88 tackles. Mayo also missed multiple games and he still achieved this.

message: The article states that the roof will be open during the Super Bowl.  What is the reference for that?  The article about Lucas Oil Stadium indicates that the Colts play with the roof closed.  In addition, there is an extra close parenthesis character in the opening paragraph of the article.Danburgess67 (talk) 06:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Re-written.  I couldn't find a source that said the roof would be open to support the uncited claim.  Also fixed the open parenthesis issue.--MikeUMA (talk) 03:53, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

text: They usually reveal the upcoming Super Bowl logo on the current Super Bowl program. For example, the Super Bowl XLV logo was first made public on the official Super Bowl XLIV program. But for some reason this year's Super Bowl XLV program didn't show the Super Bowl XLVI logo. From what I'm hearing, because they switched to a standard SB logo format with the Lombardi Trophy, they do not need to reveal each different one ahead of time anymore.

Also would the anti-abortion ad really be a violation of equal time rules? According the the Equal_time page that only applies to ads for political office seekers.

message: It's official.http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/giants/post/_/id/11372/rapid-reaction-giants-20-49ers-17  Obviously there needs to be some element here making SOME kind of comparison to Superbowl XLII. Many of the key pieces on both teams are still in place, so one could argue this game will have a significant revenge element for the New England Patriots. --  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.7.210.144 (talk) 03:42, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I won't go ahead and make the change (other reasons), but are you sure that they're that similar. NE has a changed defense, a different RB and two star TE's instead of WR's. NY does have most of it's old players, besides Nicks and Cruz. I see it much more as a new NE facing an almost the same NY. Then again, I'm a Pats fan. Buggie111 (talk) 23:34, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The article says this: Super Bowl XLVI will be the sixth Super Bowl in which the two teams had competed in a previous Super Bowl match up, as the Giants and Patriots had previously met in Super Bowl XLII.
It should say something more like this:
The Patriots' appearance in Super Bowl XLVI will be its sixth Super Bowl appearance since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994, a total that is the most in the league over that span. Kraft is the first owner in NFL history to have his team in six Super Bowls.

The two teams have competed in the Super Bowl once before in Glendale, Arizona in February, 2008 (Super Bowl XLII).

In Norway, the game is broadcast on "Viasat 4" and on "Viasat Sport HD". (not on Viasat Sport Norge).
Also, if it is allowed such info that could be considered "advertising", the game is broadcast on VIASAT SPORT HD with 5.1 audio.

message: The game summary second paragraph (under the box score) states that the opening safety was the "first safety in a championship game since Super Bowl XXV".

message: You and I know that XLVI is 46, but some visitors' Roman numeral and math skills may be more limited. Once they've figured out that L is 50 and X is 10, they still need properly calculate the result. I know the text mentions that "Super Bowl XLVI was the 46th annual championship [...]", but I still think that maybe the very first mention of "Super Bowl XLVI" could link to Wiktionary's XLVI, maybe "XLVI" itself, or maybe it could say "Super Bowl XLVI (46)". It's not really necessary, but why not. Makes some people's lives easier and I don't think there are any cons. --82.171.13.139 (talk) 19:49, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Quote: "New England won the coin toss - becoming the first AFC team to win the coin toss in 15 seasons (1 in 16,324) - and deferred."
The number 16,324 is provided, but not explained.  Many readers would not guess the significance of 2 to the 14th power.  Perhaps:
"New England won the coin toss and deferred.  They are the first AFC team to win the coin toss in 15 seasons.  The odds of either conference losing 14 consecutive tosses is 1 in 16,324."
The last sentence (or two) could be a footnote. WHPratt (talk) 17:56, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Side note, but the odds of a conference winning a coin toss 14 years in a row are 2 in 214 (or 1 in 213, 1 in 8,192). because there are two conferences.  I have inserted these odds as a footnote. Frank AnchorTalk 18:22, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
