      Top NFL Training Camp Issues, Non-Favre Edition

      The NFL is in the midst of a turbulent off-season, even if you ignore the Brett Favre and Chad Johnson sagas. ESPN’s John Clayton breaks down the other top distractions as training camp nears: With NFL Europe gone but the 80-man roster still in place, teams will have trouble finding enough healthy bodies for training camp. The New York Jets must decide whether or not to move an unhappy Chris Baker. Jacksonville may need to keep receiver Matt Jones despite his off-field issues. More »

      Tim Lincecum's first loss of the year came via a debated balk call that pushed home the go-ahead run.

      Eli to Wed College Sweetheart

      New York Giants’ QB Eli Manning will marry his college love in New York later this month, family sources told the New York Post .

McGrew’s father and Manning’s brother (Cooper, not the famous one) confirmed the upcoming ceremony. “It’s towards the end of April,” said Tom McGrew. “It’s private.” More »

      Patriots' 'Winning' Gear Finds a Home

      A small town in Nicaragua is celebrating New England's victory in the Super Bowl, the New York Post reports, with children donning T-shirts celebrating the NFL's first-ever 19-0 season. Yes, yes, the Giants were the actual victors Feb. 2, but the gear had to be ready for a Patriots win—and it was donated to a charity benefiting the needy kids. More »

      Giants Reward Spagnuolo for Staying

      The Washington Redskins loss is the New York Giants gain. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo took himself out of the running for the Redskins coaching job and instead accepted a three-year contract from the Giants yesterday, reports for New York Times. The contract, which pays $2 million a season, makes Spagnuolo one of the highest paid defensive coordinators in the NFL. More »

      Pats Fans: Cherchez la Femme

      How can Patriots fans avoid blaming golden boy Tom Brady for his lackluster Super Bowl performance? Point at the woman, of course. Online posters have begun calling Gisele Bundchen a bad-luck charm à la Jessica Simpson, and even the Boston Herald has suggested that Brady's lady somehow contributed to New England's 17-14 Super Bowl loss, ABC News reports.

      Big Apple Braces for Giant Tuesday

      Even by Big Apple standards, New York is in for a crazy day. The Super Bowl champion Giants are returning home for their victory parade just as voters head to the polls to decide New York’s crucial presidential primary. “It’s one of our busiest days since Sept. 11,” said one local TV news manager.

      Hillary Clinton showed off her lighter side in a Super Tuesday eve appearance on David Letterman, joking to the talk-show host that in her White House, "we'll know who wears the pantsuits." Clinton said she was hoarse from rooting for the Giants in a Minneapolis sports bar, and that she took heart from their last-minute victory. More »

      Super Bowl Hits Ratings Record

      Super Bowl advertisers scored big last night as the Giants-Patriots match-up pulled a record 97.5 million viewers, besting the 1996 high of 94.1 million. "You could argue this might have been a perfect game from an advertising perspective,'' said a marketing analyst—who noted that the game's close score and slow pace "really put the focus on the commercials," Bloomberg reports.

      Manning Scrambles Into History

      Facing a team and coach renowned for their preparation, Eli Manning did the smart thing: He improvised. Some of Manning’s most astounding plays in Super Bowl XLII didn’t appear in the playbook, and that includes the miraculous game-saving pass to David Tyree that saw Manning scramble as never before. No amount of spying could have prepared Tom Brady’s crew, writes ESPN’s John Clayton. More »

      Tyree an Unlikely Giant Savior

      Sure, Plaxico Burress' touchdown grab gave the Giants their shocking upset, but the catch of catches, the highlight of highlight reels, was David Tyree's impossible-looking snatch earlier that drive. On third-and-5 with Patriots Rodney Harrison and Asante Samuel looming, Tyree climbed a ladder in midair to come down with a 32-yard gain clutched against his helmet, the AP reports. More »

      Super Bowl Stunner: Giants Win!

      Tom Brady had one of his trademark brilliant fourth-quarter comebacks—but three minutes later, Eli Manning did, too, and the Giants shocked the formerly perfect Patriots, 17-14. Manning hit Plaxico Burress, who had guaranteed a Giants win several days before, on a 13-yard fade with 35 seconds left, and the Patriots were unable to answer. More »

      Super Bowl Prediction Central

      Seems everyone has an idea about how things will go down tonight in Phoenix. The Vegas line currently hovers around 12 points in the Patriots' favor, but the Giants' Plaxico Burress has already promised a 23-17 upset victory by his team. ESPN's experts don't have a consensus prediction, although the overwhelming favorite seems to be the Pats. More »
