Making the Super Bowl has enough perks as is, but the winning team on Sunday will get a bonus for making it to the championship game, but so will the losers.
According to Ralph Vacchiano over at The Blue Screen, each player on the winning team will receive $78,000 while every player on the losing team [...]
The Patriots once won games and championships based on their defense, but that is no longer the case. The Giants have relied on their defense to save multiple games and their season, and without the infamous goal-line stand of Week 3, the Giants probably aren’t playing in the Super Bowl. Actually, they definitely aren’t playing [...]
Elite Manning is not Peyton Manning (yet), and I understand they are two different players and two different people. It is unfair for critics to try to judge Eli based on his brother as it is rare two siblings both become starting QBs in the NFL. When you think about it…there are 32 starting QBs in the [...]

When it comes to special teams, the Giants and Patriots are somewhat on an even scale. I am not sure anyone on either club feels comfortable when Lawrence Tynes or Stephen Gostowski goes on the field with a lengthy kick and time running out. And I am certain neither team wants their chances at winning [...]
The story about Tom Brady’s walking cast, his boot, his limp, and any other report that has surfaced since the AFC Championship can all be put to rest now that Brady is practicing. As if he was going to sit out the Super Bowl.For the past nine days Tom Brady’s status for Super Bowl XLII [...]
The Giants played the Patriots closer in Week 17 than any other team had done all season, leading for most of the game before surrendering their lead to Tom Brady and Randy Moss. The 38-35 loss was a monetum booster for the G-Men who were entering the playoffs on a bad not after having played poorly [...]
