Heading into South Florida and Super Bowl XLIV, many folks would have guessed that one of the quarterbacks would have melted down the stretch and not come through when it counted. That’s part of the game, right? But how many of them would have said that Peyton Manning – the 2009 NFL MVP – would [...]

From die-hard football fans to the ones who only watch to see if their pool numbers come out, we have all been spoiled with the last two Super Bowls. Close, exciting games that have gone down to the wire. First, the Giants do the unthinkable and take out the undefeated Patriots with a late touchdown, [...]

The field is down to two from 32. In two weeks, we will know who is going to be king of the football world – at least for this year. In two games that were hyped for a week, similar circumstances prevailed in the end., and both involved the superstar quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Brett [...]
