Super Bowl XLVI

There is much talk about Super Bowl 46 being a rematch of Super Bowl 42.  Much of the promotional material I'm seeing is really trying to play it as the Patriots seeking redemption from the 3 point loss to the Giants after a perfect 2007 season.

Less than 1/3 of the New England coaching staff remains from 4 years ago, and -get this- only 6 players!  That's right, just over 11% of the guys who suited up in Arizona on February 3, 2008 will be wearing a New England Patriots helmet this Sunday in Indianapolis.

Plaxico Burris, who scored the winning touchdown with 35 seconds left in Super Bowl 42 is no longer with the Giants.  (Eli Manning, who threw the pass still is.)

Couldn't the enormous marketing department at the NFL come up with a more relevant hook for this game?
