Game over: Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll defended the decision to call a goal-line pass play in the final seconds of the Super Bowl, a pass that was intercepted by New England and foiled a nearly certain Seahawk win.
“It worked flawlessly every time we tried it playing ‘Madden NFL 15’ on the Xbox the night before,” Carroll said.

Weather or not: Pennsylvania’s famous prognosticating groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow, indicating six more weeks of winter, an obvious call considering the snow that began falling.
“Another obvious call?” added Phil. “On second and goal on the 1-yard line, you give the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Every time. You don’t pass it.”

Speaking of Groundhog Day: There’s not much on the tube tonight. You could watch a cameo by “Shark Tank’s” Lori Greiner on “New Girl” on Fox.
Or you could watch what most Seahawk fans are, repeatedly replaying the interception that lost Seattle the Super Bowl, hoping that this time Russell Wilson will hand the ball off to Lynch for a 1-yard touchdown.
