Super Bowl and SB Contest
On the Super Bowl:
I hope coaches will now realize that within the last 3 minutes, just scoring isn't good enough. You should also aim to score with as little time left on the clock as possible. NBA teams do a good job of this (2 for 1 situations, etc.). NFL teams do not. Why did the Panthers call a time out with 90 seconds left after the completion to Proehl on the 15 yard line. How many more plays are they planning on running from the 15? Dumb. They should have taken their freakin time.
On the Super Bowl contest:
Future contests like this (closest to final score) should have used lowest sum of squares method. It sounds complicated, but it really isn't.
(New England's actual points-Entry's guessed points for N.E) squared, + (Carolina's actual points-Entry's guessed points for Carolina) squared = Entry's score. Lowest sum of squares score wins.
