Revisiting the '42 Stops to Super Bowl XLII': You Can Deny the MVP

I topped my 42 Stops to Super Bowl XLII series with the fact that only 10 NFL MVPs have ever won the Super Bowl in the same season. Sure, not all of them got to the Super Bowl ... but 21 did. Now 22.

Amazing that the MVP is just 10-12 in Super Bowl history.

Tom Brady extends the MVP losing streak to three. Oakland's Rich Gannon won the MVP in 2002 but lost that year's Super Bowl. The Rams' Kurt Warner lost the previous year's Super Bowl during his MVP season.

Kurt Warner was the last player to win the MVP and the Super Bowl in the same season ... back in 1999.

More interesting tidbits after the jump:

#3: The AFC Loves February. For the first time ever, the NFC won a Super Bowl played in the year's second month.
#6: Super Bowl No-Names. You think that David Tyree makes his legend now?
#9: The Best Super Bowls. This one goes up there.
#11: Wildcards: The Giants become the first NFC wildcard (and 5th overall) to win the Super Bowl.
#13: East Coast Super Dominance: The NFC East is now 7-3 against the AFC East in the Super Bowl.
#16: KT the Astrologer Kind of Picks Giants to Win. I am now going to be one with the star lovers!!!
#19: Score Early and Often. The team that scores first is now 27-15. The team scoring the first TD falls to 30-12.
#31: Don't Dog the Underdogs. Underdogs rule!
#32: Don't Win the Coin Toss. The Giants become just the third team in 12 years to win the coin toss and the Super Bowl.
#40: Belichick Could Join Chuck Noll. He may eventually match Noll's four Super Bowl titles. However, Noll never lost a Super Bowl. Now Bill has.
