Giants' DeOssie will start Super Bowl with: Tails

INDIANAPOLIS -- One word from Giants special teams captain Zak DeOssie will begin the Super Bowl.

With more than 100 million people watching in the United States alone, the long snapper from New York, other Giants captains and their counterparts from New England will see referee John Parry display both sides of a special commemorative coin for the opening toss.

Then, DeOssie will choose his side.

"I've called `tails' every single time this year, and that's what it's going to be this weekend," DeOssie said Thursday.

The NFC has won the last 14 Super Bowl coin flips.
