It’s all over. We saw all of the commercials, Madonna finally stopped singing, and Eli Manning beat Tom Brady and the Patriots for the second time and won Super Bowl XLVI in the house his big brother built. But now we’re left without any football until the fall. So, now what do we do? For most people, holidays like Christmas and New Years Eve are some of the most anticipated events of the year. But the one day that is always highlighted on my calendar is Super Bowl Sunday. It’s the one day of the year we actually look forward to commercials and are allowed to consume inappropriate amounts pizza, Buffalo wings and beer. And most important of all, we get to watch the biggest game of the year with family and friends. Super Bowl XLVI certainly did not disappoint, but the pizza’s all gone, the Giants won, and the harsh reality is we all have to get back to our everyday lives for 6 long, football-less months.

There was a scary moment in last night’s Super Bowl XLVI, when QB Tom Brady was crushed by Giants DL Justin Tuck. He got up shaky, and doctors surrounded him. Quickly, backup Brian Hoyer began to throw. Brady ended up going back in, but he finished 7 for his last 17, and he wasn’t the same. After the game, I asked Hoyer what those moments were like. “I just gotta be ready,...

Matt Vensel, Sports Blitz : A fun game down to the whistle, this one was eerily reminiscent of the last times these teams met in the Super Bowl. Eli Manning -- who said before the season the he was elite and lived up to it -- was so cool down the stretch and the Giants put enough heat on Tom Brady to seal the win.
