Nevada casinos lost the most money ever on the Super Bowl that year - $2.6 million.
Two celebrations
The Giants will be honored at 11 a.m. Tuesday with a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
Bloomberg will present the team with keys to the city at the conclusion of the parade.
The team also will have a rally at their home, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., at 3 p.m., Gov. Chris Christie announced on his Twitter page.
Booby prize?
The Patriots will play the St. Louis Rams in the NFL's Oct. 28 game in London.
General-admission ticket sales resumed Monday after being halted last week because the league's plans to have the Rams host one game per season at Wembley Stadium over the next three years clashed with the team's lease on Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.
However, the NFL said Monday the issue had been resolved.
Coughlin's plans
Tom Coughlin is looking forward to the parade and a couple of weeks off to reflect on the Giants' championship. Then he will begin preparations for defending the title.
The 65-year-old coach sees no reason to retire now.
"I don't fish, I don't golf," Coughlin said. "My wife keeps telling me, 'You'd better have something to do, buddy boy. If you think you're going to hang around here, you're crazy.' "
Giants chief executive John Mara said it's safe to say the team wants Coughlin to return.
What's next for Jacobs?
Brandon Jacobs said that he and his teammates partied "hard" after their Super Bowl XLVI win and that he's looking forward to the parade. But beyond that, he's not speculating on his future.
Jacobs, who at different times last week said he expected to be back with the Giants but also was preparing to play his final game for the franchise, said Monday as he left the team's hotel that he wants to be back and that the Giants can make that happen.
