Should Cruz get paid?

Victor Cruz didn't do all that much in the Super Bowl -- just 25 yards and a touchdown on four receptions -- but his performance over the 2011 season was exceptional. Now he wants to get paid like an elite receiver.
Nicks or Cruz?

Cruz and Hakeem Nicks were the Giants' 1-2 punch on offense this season. Nicks, in particular, was practically uncoverable during the Super Bowl.
Too much emphasis?

Bill Belichick evidently respected Cruz and Nicks enough to place most of the coverage on them during the Super Bowl in order to force the ball to receivers like Mario Manningham. It backfired on one play, but was it the right call?

@GabeTheWP double-overtime, 7-goal comeback, would-be game-winning goal disallowed for an illegal stick. I bet you feel pretty stupid now.

If there was ever a right time to break a foot for an NFL star, Hakeem Nicks picked right time. Sounds odd but true.
