More than thousands of reporters and photographers crowded at Super Bowl media day – the wildest circus where reporters from all over the world gathered around Eli Manning’s table. There is a suggestion here that he might clearly be the best quarterback in Super Bowl XLVI, or for that matter, on the verge of winning his second Super Bowl title to surpass his brother,...
Today was media day for Super Bowl XLVI. Which means there will be guarantees, predictions, and some zany comments. New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker has started with the funny stuff. When he was asked about coach Bill Belichick’s kinder, gentler mood of late, Welker attributed it to a “lady in his life”. “I don’t know, I think he’s...
You don’t have to like Bill Belichick, the three-time champion head coach of arguably the greatest Super Bowl team of this generation. He’s not the most likable man, always wearing a dark blue hoodie — an unstylish NFL genius – having a shrewd IQ, even though few believe he’s a fraud after the infamous episode of Spygate. Either way, that is, Belichick –...
The Detroit Lions needed some help in their playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints. Defensive help that is and not help from any crazy fans, like the one who thought it was a smart idea to phone in a bomb threat to the Superdome during the game. The fan, 34-year-old Shawn Payton of Jackson, Michigan, called the Superdome during the game and asked the receptionist to...
The Giants and Patriots aren’t necessarily regarded as trash-talking teams, though a war of words between opponents is almost customary in the days leading up to the Super Bowl. This year is no different, and the opening salvo has been fired, courtesy of Big Blue wideout Mario Manningham. On Friday, Manningham made it clear to the Boston Herald that he’s looking...
If anyone knows, San Francisco 49ers’ returner Kyle Williams’ father is actually Ken Williams, the general manager of the Chicago White Sox. Last week, Williams received a lot of hate after he muffed a punt return in overtime, which ended up giving the Giants the win when they recovered and kicked a game-winning field goal a few plays later. Ken is still...
It’s Fan Friday, all about YOUR comments! Who’s winning Super Bowl 46? The New York Giants or New England Patriots? Is it a wrap for Peyton Manning in Indianapolis, and what’s Shaq’s beef with Dwight Howard?—-JRSportBrief (Archive/Feed) JRSportBrief covers the latest sports news, game highlights, and athletes of professional sports.

Turnovers and big mistakes highlighted Sunday’s AFC and NFC championship games, rather than outstanding individual play or brilliant team performance. It was difficult not to feel empty inside or even a little depressed after all that transpired, whether you’re a fan of one of the teams that participated or not. Not one team played spectacularly, and not one specific...
It has been a long season for Colts fans. After seeing their star quarterback go down with injury for the season, their beloved team halted their success, falling to 2-14 on the season, last in the NFL. As the AFC Championship occurred, the worst of the worst happened. From the time-span of 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM, Colts fans were on their seats, just hoping that the Baltimore...
SAN FRANCISCO– It’s not hard, as the G-Men are more complete than X-Men or the Fantastic Four superhero team, to identify the best defensive team in the NFL. It was just this moment, this game, this opportunity for the New York Giants to travel to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl. What we have, ladies and gentleman, is suddenly a Super Bowl XLII rematch. It’s ridiculous...
As a Colts fan, you just have to root against the New England Patriots…for every game. So best bet, yes, I was rooting for the Baltimore Ravens to advance into Super Bowl 46. Didn’t happen. Apparently, Billy Cundiff was listening to too much of “To The Left” by Beyonce before the game that he blew it at the end of the game when his 32-yarder went...

I sat down with former NFL wide receiver and current NBC commentator Cris Collinsworth to discuss the NFL Playoffs, who he thinks is winning the Super Bowl, and where Tom Brady ranks as one of the greatest of all time!—-JRSportBrief (Archive/Feed) JRSportBrief covers the latest sports news, game highlights, and athletes of professional sports.

There are four teams left in the playoffs and two of them are there because of their defenses. Here’s an interesting stat: Two of the teams left had top-10 offenses throughout the regular season, the Patriots and Giants, and two of the teams had top five defenses, the 49ers and Ravens. The funny thing is the two teams with great offenses had not-so-great defenses...
Before I get into the NFC Championship Game featuring the New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers, I’d like to give a review of my thoughts on this past weekend’s NFC Divisional Round Games between the New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints vs. San Francisco 49ers. The Giants proved to be too much for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers...
The 2012 NFL Divisional weekend was one of the most exciting weekends in as long as I can remember. The New England Patriots halted the Denver Broncos’ “Cinderella” season-in-progress, while the Baltimore Ravens weathered the fury that was brought by the Houston Texans setting the stage for one helluva AFC Championship showdown this weekend. But just like the...
He tried to reproduce a miracle, the one that stunned the disbelievers and shocked the world so incredibly, and felt he could beat the New England Patriots. But this time, Tim Tebow, a prodigal son and messiah, couldn’t pull the trigger to quiet the doubters and whisperers. It’s time we realize that Tebowmania has suddenly diminished – because the Denver Broncos...
The New York Giants went into Lambeau Field and beat the Green Bay Packers 37-20 led by Eli Manning’s three touchdowns! Who do you like in the NFC Championship game? The Giants or Niners?—-JRSportBrief (Archive/Feed) JRSportBrief covers the latest sports news, game highlights, and athletes of professional sports.
