FRIDAY’S NOTABLES: --- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in his annual State of the NFL press conference that the Patriots videotaping had “a limited effect, if any effect, on the outcome of any game. But that doesn’t change my perspective of if you are violating the rules, you should be punished for that. You should be disciplined, and I think we did that very aggressively.”He also said that what the Patriots did in going 18-0 this season “was certainly done within the rules on a level playing field.” --- The Patriots are completely healthy. Receiver Jabar Gaffney, bothered by a bad shoulder much of the week, practiced fully and was not listed on the team’s injury report. Tom Brady’s ankle appears fine according to the pool report and he’s the only Patriot listed on the injury report with the obligatory right shoulder problem. The Patriots will not even have a walk-thru at the Univeristy of Phoenix Stadium on Saturday, but will go there for a team photo. --- The Giants Plaxico Burress did try some individual drills, but was unable to participate in the team practice. He’s listed officially as questionable for the game. Giant cornerback Kevin Dockery (hip flexor) and lineman Rich Seubert (knee) are questionable. SUPER BOWL PRICESWord is a cab ride from downtown Phoenix to the University of Phoenix Stadium is now $75 – each way. And hotels are certainly getting into the pricey act – a bottle of pain reliever in the Mariott gift shop, 24 caplets, cost….$14. Nothing like Super Bowl fever. -- TOM KING

The final day of Super Bowl media access was this morning with both New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and New York Giants head man Tom Coughlin holding press conferences – many fans are familiar with the photos of the coaches in suit and tie standing next to or holding the Lombardi Trophy, and this is the day where that stems from.Not much news ever comes out of these, but Coughlin did say that Giant wide receiver Plaxico Burress’ injury woes.“It’s day-to-day with Plaxico,” the coach said. “The knee has bothered him in the past, and he’s had some swelling. I won’t know (anything further) until I get over there (to the Arizona Cardinals practice facility).Later this morning – remember, we’re two hours behind eastern standard time here – NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will give his annual Super Bowl state of the NFL address, and many wonder if he’ll bring up SpyGate. We’ll let you know.-- TOM KING
