Much of the today's NFL news involved the Patriots and Giants, afterall, they are the two teams playing in Super Bowl XLVI. But as you'll see, Peyton Manning, ended up dominating headlines.
Super Bowl
Rich Gannon @RichGannon12Just did a hit on SNY w. my guy Adam Schein and picked the
Patriots in a close one. I'm sure that irritated some folks back in NY!
SuperBowlXLVI on NBC @SNFonNBC talks about his
Patriots playing days and playing the Giants in the Super Bowl
Scott Hanson @ScottHansonIndy off 2 great start hosting SB46. People friendly & excited, town laid out w everything close & accessible. Fans @ Media Day = win too
Todd DeVries @CFFGeek: Lookout , the boys from are in town. Hide your women and children.
Britney Spears @britneyspearsI know everybody is excited about the
Super Bowl, but I personally can't wait to see the next episode of Modern Family! Funniest show on TV
--BE: Agreed Modern Family is great. But a weekly sitcom vs. the most important game of the football season? Come On Brit!!!
Sports Illustrated @SInowMy favorite
Super Bowl Media Day moment was when...
Ben Tate @BenTateRBNext year at this time i gotta be getting ready to play in the
super bowl... gotta be!!
--BE: You are in luck Ben, the Texans should have no trouble winning the AFC South again.
Patriots
New England Patriots @Patriots Best images from Super Bowl XLVI Media Day
New England Patriots @PatriotsCool shot of Robert Kraft & some of the players in the locker room before Media Day:
Jonny Saraceno @jonnysaracenoChad Ochocinco subdued at media day:
--BE:Didn't even have his own booth/podium etc. But the OCNN (Ocho Cinco News Network was in full force).
Skip Bayless @RealSkipBaylessI don't believe for a second Gronk's improving b/c didn't wear boot to Media Day. Smokescreen. Reportedly needs surgery. Don't expect much.
--BE: Gronk is half machine. He will play!!!
Andy Gray @si_vaultGiants defensive coordinator Bill Belichick charts a play in this 1985 photo:
--BE: Crazy seeing Belichick that young (and smiling).
Giants:
Ebenezer Samuel @ebenezersamuelBest way to contend with Gronk? Rodney Harrison said
Giants must "beat him up," and jam him at line. Thinks ankle may stiffen by halftime
Prince Amukamara @PrinceAmukamarahelp me send a fan to . All EXPENSE PAID FOR 4! 4 $10's www.princeraffle.org.
AnitaMarks @AnitaMarks posing for team picture at media day...
Aditi Kinkhabwala @AKinkhabwalaTom Coughlin looked like he laughed lot more than Bill Belichick at media day.
Giants' LB Michael Boley said not a shocker: 'Coach IS funny'
Danica Patrick @DanicaPatrickI am pulling for the
giants. I predict a 34-31 victory. Add some 7's and 3's and that's what I get.
--BE: Every year I am fooled by Danica Patrick and Go Daddy into thinking there really will be behind the scenes dressing room type video. #LetDown
Peyton Manning
ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalkPeyton Manning "very encouraged" by rehab, plans to play in 2012
Sam Farmer LA Times @LATimesfarmerPeyton is amazing. Just hijacked interview for more than a minute, talking about Gatorade. Still going...
Andrew Brandt @adbrandtPeyton would rather talk about Gatorade and his concierge service than talk about his future...
mike freeman @realfreemancbsTrey Wingo is doing a very nice job of navigating Peyton's BS...and it's a lot of BS.
Josh Moore @4for4_JoshMy advice... ignore all Peyton Manning posturing back and forth until something actually happens.
--BE: I don't have much to say about Peyton. I don't think he's anywhere close to being fully healthy and if that's the case, the Colts won't re-sign him. I will say this: there are a TON of people walking around INDY with Peyton Manning jerseys. How long before they all change to a #12 LUCK?
From the Football Nation Family:
Todd DeVries @CFFGeekNational Signing Day is here. Will stud WR prospect Dorial Green-Beckham sign with Missouri or Arkansas?
Kerry J. Byrne @Footballfacts: CHFF in Indy: JW Marriott 17th floor overlooking Lucas Oil. Cat-bird seat. Hell, if they could open roof, we could watch game from here.
Dan Friedman @TheDannyFresh: Eli/Brady combined 23-8 in playoffs, Giants/Pats riding combined 15-0 win streak. This is going to be a fantastic
