      Meet Tonight's Superdelegates

      (Newser) - Tonight’s "American Idol" will boast cameos from Miley Cyrus, Brad Pitt, and both the Manning and Jonas brothers—but the most anticipated appearances could be by Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama, the New York Post reports. The charity episode is exhibition-only (no candidate will actually score Paula Abdul’s vote), but there will be much pop-culture popularity at stake. More »

      Manning Scrambles Into History

      (Newser) - 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

      (Newser) - 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!

      (Newser) - 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.

      Super Bowl Prediction Central

      (Newser) - 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 »

      Sex Appeal and the Single Quarterback

      (Newser) - As the Super Bowl nears, pundits are comparing rival quarterbacks Tom Brady and Eli Manning—right down to who they date and for how long, the New York Times reports. Brady, who escorts leggy Gisele Bundchen to chi chi clubs, descends from the Joe Namath tradition of playboy QB. Manning is more the straitlaced Roger Staubach, searching the stands for his university gal-turned-fiancee when games end. More »

      Peyton Who?

      (Newser) - No one expected this: the fifth-seeded Giants bound for Super Bowl XLII behind much-maligned quarterback Eli Manning, the last obstacle between the Patriots and immortality. Certainly no one expected Manning to go pick-less in three playoff road games, or to outsling Brett Favre 254 yards to 236. But here they are, and there’s no doubting them anymore, Harvey Araton writes in the New York Times . More »
