Super Bowl

Eli Manning completed 30-of-40 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown as the Giants held off the Patriots 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI.  He was also named the MVP of the game for the second time in his career, winning his second Super Bowl title.  The play that stood out for Manning was a perfectly placed 38-yard over-the-shoulder throw to Mario Manningham on the Giants’ final possession. Manningham secured the pass cleanly, and both feet were confirmed to be in after review. Eight plays later, Ahmad Bradshaw fell into the end zone backwards for the game-winning touchdown.

Phillies

With just under two weeks to go until pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report, free agent pitcher Roy Oswalt still has no home.  A number of suitors to remain in contact with Oswalt, among them are the Red Sox, Reds and Phillies, according to major-league sources.  The Cincinnati Enquirer confirms the Reds will need to move payroll to have a chance at signing Roy Oswalt.
