Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York's fourth Super Bowl title.

Eli Manning is elite, for sure. A king of comebacks, too. And far, far more than Peyton's little brother now.

Receiver Wes Welker was emotional after the Patriots' 21-17 loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, blaming himself for the result.

For all the pomp and excess of Madonna's Super Bowl halftime extravaganza a single extended middle finger by guest singer M.I.A. is likely to be the most remembered piece of the show.

The Giants lost tight end Travis Beckum to a torn ACL in the second quarter of Super Bowl XLVI.

In an appearance on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on Sunday, Roger Goodell said the league must address the quality of Pro Bowl and even said he would consider eliminating the all-star game if it can't be improved upon.

Peyton Manning is willing to structure his contract in a way that could expedite how quickly he is signed if or when the Indianapolis Colts release him.

Forget the battle between the Giants and the Pats. The real Super Bowl showdown is between advertisers.
