1. So close and yet so far

4. Say it ain’t so

5. It’s hard to believe but …
You’re reading this on Monday. Fox’s Super Bowl pregame show should end about 8 a.m. local time Tuesday.
6. Huge, just huge
Spain won its first title at the handball world championships Sunday, beating defending champion Croatia 40-34. What do you mean you weren’t watching?
7. A little perspective

8. Janet, Janet, Janet
If nobody said it, then let me: You were missed. And Justin, you were not.
9. Hold me back
No Richard Dent in Pro Football’s Hall of Fame. That’s it. It’s time to hit somebody.
