Philip/AP; photograph at right of Michael Strahan kissing the trophy by Eric Gay/AP 11:27PM: We're enjoying the postgame coverage of the Giants' victory, with sad Tom Brady, really excited Michael Strahan (singing Eli's praises), Peyton Manning being thrilled with his brother's success (aw!) and thoughts from the 1972 Dolpins, secure with their undefeated record for......

Superbowl MVP, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is set to host Saturday Night Live tomorrow. Saying, "The only thing I've done live is play football, and that's the best thing I do. I've told everyone those commercials are very taped and very edited, but being live is kind of like a game." Statistically he's one of the best quarterbacks of all time, but he'll be taking on a new challenge hosting the show. He's been tackling......

Indianapolis' defenese has played much better in the playoffs, Peyton Manning hasn't put to bed his playoff demons, but he has played better. Of course, that storyline has been blown out of proportion for years. Watch how quickly the media will turn based on the game. Monday's stories can be written now, and the editors can simply choose late Sunday night. Manning will have cemented his place in history with a win or moved one......

The Jets appeared ahead of schedule during the first three weeks of this season. They jumped out to an early lead and hung on to win, rallied valiantly to make a perennial contender sweat and answered early blows only to rally and win. In their fourth game, a 31-28 loss to the Colts on Sunday, they made the game's best quarterback look vulnerable and unsettled but still came up short in a house-money game. If......

Few expected the Jets to win two of their first three games, and fewer are expecting them to defeat the Colts at the Meadowlands on Sunday. Despite their record, the Jets are a nine-point underdog at home. A win would be an emphatic statement, and a loss would be nothing to get riled up about. The Jets have little to lose. But they have plenty to worry about. Indianapolis' offense isn't guided by J.P. Losman,......

The NFL announced the rosters for the Pro Bowl on Wednesday and six local players made it. Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora, Tiki Barber, Jeremy Shockey and David Tyree will represent the Giants while Ty Law will represent the Jets. Tiki will be joined on the NFC team by his brother, Ronde. While Peyton Manning has made the AFC team, Eli Manning was chosen as the infamous “third alternate” for the NFC team. However, considering the......

At around the time that Peyton Manning broke the N.F.L. single season touchdown record, his younger brother Eli threw an interception that gave the Giants their eighth straight loss, this one by 23-22 to the Cincinnati Bengals. Eli Manning is now 0-6 as the Giants starting quarterback. On the previous drive the Giants allowed Bengal quarterback Jon Kitna to complete a 19-yard pass to receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh on fourth-down and 10 to set up the......

The Giants travel to Baltimore on Sunday to play the Ravens for the first time since the two teams met in Super Bowl XXXV. The Ravens won that one going away, 34-7, and this week’s game ought to have a similar result. Although the Giants are still alive for a playoff berth, it is seeming increasingly less likely as this team can’t seem to find a way to even remain competitive. The Ravens’ playoff hopes,......

The Giants haven�t won at Lambeau Field since 1971 when Fran Tarkenton, pictured above, was quarterback and Alex Webster was coaching on the sidelines. So they�ve got that going for them, which is nice. Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre is banged up with a bruise �the size of a softball� on his leg, but he�ll be making his record 212th straight start at quarterback. Favre will be doing his best to stop the Packers� two......

For most of the evening, Chad Pennington his teammates looked nearly perfect in Saturday night's 31-7 preseason drubbing of the host Indianapolis Colts, a team many see as a favorite to once again reach the AFC Championship. It was only a preseason game, but it's always a good sign when your defense holds Peyton Manning in check for a half, especially considering Gang Green started three rookie defensive backs in its Nickel package (CBs Derrick......

This Saturday, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden is the NFL Draft, where several tall and heavy former college players will be selected to join the ranks of the NFL. The Giants "earned" the 4th pick in this year's draft with a 4-12 record, netting them their highest pick since 1984 when they selected Carl Banks. The Jets, who had a 6-10 record, have the 12th pick. Gothamist loves waking up on a lazy......
