Not even close: Whitney sang the greatest National Anthem ever
It was Super Bowl XXV (25) and American Patriotism, which took such a severe hit during the Vietnam War, was never greater than it was on Jan. 28, 1991. We were dominating Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf War. America considered our military people heroes again. Remember the yellow ribbons?
And then before the mighty Buffalo Bills took on the underdog New York Giants, Frank...

For Super Bowl L (50), Roman numerals must X-nay
The NFL is aware it’s about to have a problem. In four years, the league will celebrate its 50th Super Bowl.
For now, it will be called Super Bowl L. Yuck. Super Bowl Loser? Worse, every Super Bowl from Super Bowl 50 to Super Bowl Bowl 89 _ or the year 2054 _ will start with the Roman numeral L. As LIV, LX (which is OK for cars, I guess) to _ get this _ LXXXVIII. Seriously...

Tuesday Morning Quarterback: Ranking the NFL’s signal callers after the Super Bowl
Associated PressEli Manning was a guest with David Letterman on the "Late Show" on Monday.
I won’t do it. I won’t proclaim Eli better than Peyton. I won’t proclaim Eli better than Brady. We’re getting too carried away with legacies and history, folks.
Ask yourself this: Which quarterback do you think will have a better 2012 season, Eli Manning or Tom Brady...

Super Bowl XLVI makes the podium
Of the almost two dozen Super Bowls I’ve had the good fortune to have covered through the years, Sunday’s 21-17 Giants victory made the top three.
The quarterback match-up of Eli Manning against Tom Brady, the coaching match-up between Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin and the fact it was a rematch of one of the best Super Bowls ever played just four years ago all swirled...

Josh McDaniels, NFL’s worst O-coordinator this season, could get Super Bowl ring today
INDIANAPOLIS — Let’s review this one more time so I can understand.
Josh McDaniels, the most reviled head coach in Broncos history, becomes the St. Louis Rams’ offensive coordinator. He finishes the season with the Rams, who average an NFL-worst 12.1 points per game while McDaniels turns Sam Bradford, the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2010, into the...

Thoughts on NFL’s new Hall of Fame class
INDIANAPOLIS _ I’m tired of all this crying for Cris Carter.
There were three other players who didn’t make it into the Hall of Fame on Saturday and were way more deserving than Carter: Charles Haley, Dick Stanfel and Will Shields. Haley was a dominant defensive player with the 49ers and Cowboys and is the only player who has 5 Super Bowl rings. He also has 100 sacks. SLAM DUNK...

The former Broncos safety and nine-time Pro Bowler will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013.
So will Rod Smith, the Broncos’ all-time leading receiver in the three major categories, but it does seem like he’s been away awhile because he missed his entire final season of 2007...

Best stat in Super Bowl history
INDIANAPOLIS _ This stat blew me away.
No, it wasn’t Tom Brady’s career passer rating in his four Super Bowl. No, it wasn’t Eli Manning’s comeback numbers.
The Super Bowl opening coin toss? The NFL has won it 14 years in a year. I can’t make heads or tails out of the that. (No wait! I gotta million of them!!)
Not surprisingly, for this Super Bowl XLVI...

Tebow healing up
Indianapolis _ Had the Broncos made it to Super Bowl XLVI?
“”I think it would have be hard for anybody to take me out of that game,’’ said Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.
It’s not far-fetched to believe. The Broncos were two weeks away from reaching the Super Bowl, losing just three weeks ago in a second-round playoff game to the New England Patriots. The Patriots’...

If a Grammy-award winning singer wants to write and perform a song about Tim Tebow, ESPN2′s signature debate show, First Take, is going to jump all over it, right?
Of course, they would, even if that song takes a pretty direct shot at First Take’s Tim Tebow obsession.
John Legend performed a song called “Extra-Ordinary Tebow” on First Take today, with the...
