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.

With Deion Branch and Wes Welker set to become free agents and a disappointing Chad Ochocinco on the roster, the Patriots have some serious choices to make about the WR spot for 2012.

Michael Fabiano and special guest host Marcas Grant go over the top ten fantasy running backs for 2012 and debate whether Rob Gronkowski is worth a first round next season.

The Raiders have a new GM and head coach, but they’ll have the same QB with Carson Palmer already getting the nod as Oakland’s season-opening starter for 2012.

The bulk of Media Day questions hurled at Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski concerned his left ankle, which he hurt during the AFC Championship Game two weeks ago and provides the only major injury storyline of this Super Bowl.

Even coming off an reconstructive ACL operation, Jamaal Charles will still be highly coveted in fantasy drafts next season.

The first big storyline of Super Bowl XLVI appears to be the status of Rob Gronkowski’s ankle, which kept him from practicing Thursday. The Patriots still insist he’ll be ready to go for next week’s game.

Despite reports from a certain TV star, Peyton Manning says he has no plans to retire. However, Manning says he still doesn’t know about his future with the Colts.

Jamaal Charles says his rehab is going well and tells fantasy owners that he’ll be back stronger and faster next season.
