Poignant irony headed for Indy Super Bowl?

With the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants set to square off for the NFC champsionship on January 22, at least one item of irony is guaranteed for the Indy Super Bowl spotlight. If the 49ers win this coming weekend, the Colts former QB "Captain Comeback" in the form of now-49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh with return to Naptown, together with former Colts defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Fangio, of course, was trashed by former Colts GM Bill Polian in 2001, and went on to build a number of top defensive units, including the current 49ers, whose defense is No. 1 in the NFL. Also of course, Polian's Colts defense struggled basically every year after Fangio. A bittersweet homecoming?

And if the NY Giants win, brother Eli gets to play in brother Peyton's house for the NFL uber-brass ring, while the older brother sits this one out in his NFL home town.
