NFL: Super Bowl XLIX-New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks

Two team officials shielded him from the news media with the same intensity that the New England Patriots offensive line protected him from the Seattle Seahawks. "Tom's done,'' one shouted as the MVP-winning quarterback arrived. But the locker spoke.

Ganesha, remover of obstacles, almost beckoned to the curious.
