Super Bowl Round Up:


Tuesday was media for the Patriots and Giants. Highlights or maybe in this case lowlights included a woman dressed up in a wedding gown who asked both Pats and Giants QBs Tom Brady and Eli Manning if they'd marry her. They both turned her down. Then there was Plaxico Burress reiterating his statement that the Giants are going to win or at least they came to win. Click here for a summary of the days events and for photos click here and here.

Kellie Pickler has magical ways with athletes. On Tuesday she was able to get Giants fullback Madison Hedgecock to wear red high heels. Although remember he was battling a case of the flu and Kellie's very purdy, so you can't fault his actions. (scroll down to see the photo)

As the Patriots head into the Super Bowl they will be without Joe Andruzzi, a former Patriots lineman who was a member of the team during their 2001, 2003 and 2004 Super Bowl run. Andruzzi instead is facing an even bigger battle than the Giants, a battle against cancer. Click here for the full story.

The Patriots will have to wait until after the Super Bowl to sign WR Randy Moss to a long term deal.

The day after the Super Bowl maybe an even more imporant day for Pats guard Logan Mankins and his wife because it is the day that Logan finally gets to shave off his nasty looking beard.

Indianapolis isn't just looking to be in the Super Bowl in 2012, they'd also like to host it.

Uh-oh Roger, when you sell your friends up the river, they tend to conspire to screw you over too. At least that's what reports are saying. Andy Pettitte is expected to tell congress that he did in fact discuss HGH with Roger Clemens. Of course, he's not saying Clemens used them, but he's also not saying he didn't.

The Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Damaso Marte was involved in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Marte did not sustain any serious injury.

Braves Update:
The Braves are not too thrilled with the prospect of Johan Santana playing in their division.

Popo in my crib News:
Former NFL player Alonzo Spellman was hanging out in a Tulsa jail early Tuesday morning after he was unable to make his $10,700 bail. Spellman had spent Monday afternoon cruising around Tulsa with the popo hot on his tail, after they were called to a convenience store following a disturbance. The popo shot out three of the tires on Spellman's Chrysler Pacifica and waited 20 more minutes until he got of the car. Of course they also shot pepper bullets into the car which helped him make his decision to get out of the car a little faster. Spellman was charged with eluding, assault with a deadly weapon on a popo officer, resisting arrest and driving without a license. Watch out Allie, because the popo are on your tail!
