To the victory goes the spoils. Winning a Super Bowl means trips to the White House, Disneyland and other trips behind the velvet ropes. For Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham, it meant a trip to the Grammy’s as presenters. And as you would expect, Cruz was coerced by “NCIS” actress Pauley Perrette into doing the salsa.

There are a lot of things I’m glad we’ve left in the 1980s: Parachute pants, leg warmers and NFL teams making music videos. Nope, none of them were good. So with the Grammy’s on Sunday night, here is a list of the worst sports videos every created and we will crown one as the “Worst Sports Video of All-Time!” Are you ready? The nominees: The Bears with the “Super Bowl Shuffle” and yes, I get it, everybody loves the classic. But this song is terrible. The Dolphins with “You Can’t Touch Us” The Redskins with “Redskins Rap Song” The Dallas Cowboys with “Christmas in Dallas” The Bengals with “Who Dey:” The Seattle Seahawks with “Locker Room Rock:” The Winner (depending [...]

Some fans needed a refresher course before attending the Giants’ championship parade.

We are now one day from the Super Bowl. In honor of being a day away, we should pay homage to Super Bowl I and one of the most unforgettable stories in Super Bowl history.

We are two days from the Super Bowl. It’s a magical number for quarterbacks, because signal-callers who win two Super Bowls seem almost destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

I never figured I’d shake the hand of Curt Schilling. I really never figured I’d end up liking the guy, but it happened when the famed Red Sox hurler stopped by the “NFL.com Live” set, along with my cohorts, Dave Dameshek, Elliot Harrison and Jason Smith.

We are now only three days from the Super Bowl. And to honor that number, we could count the number of rings on Tom Brady’s hand.

Jerome Bettis and I are going to get into a fight one day if he keeps insisting he’s a Pittsburgh Steeler, not a Los Angeles Ram.

Big-time athletes such as Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III will undergo testing by the Gatorade Sports Science Institute this week. It will be one of the few things they have in common with me.

We are four days from Super Bowl XLVI. The number 4 has a bad connotation in some circles.

One of the cool things about having fans involved in Media Day is the life they breath into the stadium. But I have to admit, the random cheers emanating from the crowd at random points of the day is a little disconcerting.

We are six days from the Super Bowl. And when you think of the number six and Super Bowls it can only mean one thing — the Pittsburgh Steelers.

We are now eight days away from the Super Bowl. And while we could pay homage to the No. 8 worn by three-time Super Bowl champion Troy Aikman (the best quarterback of the 1990s), we instead shall honor legendary Jerry Rice, who had eight career touchdown receptions in the Super Bowl.
