Free Tickets to Super Bowl XLII Given to Injured War Vets


It's not like local Tarzana dentist Jim Brennan had to pull teeth to extract a pair of tickets for Super Bowl XLII in the first row behind the New York Giants' bench.

A family member had special connections.

"I'm pretty excited about it," said Brennan, who is taking his wife, Gwen, to watch the New England Patriots (18-0) and New York Giants (13-6) battle Sunday for the NFL championship in Glendale, Ariz. "It's our first Super Bowl."

His seats are on the 50-yard line.

"I found out Tuesday about the tickets. It didn't take too long to give an answer," he said of the tickets with a face value of $700 each.

Brennan has no problem rooting for the NFC champs, either. "My main team is still the Detroit Lions, through thick and thin -- mostly thin -- but the Giants are my No. 2 team. We're definitely rooting for the Giants."
