Touch Downl NFL

This announcement isn’t a shock because Manning had probably the greatest offensive performance in 2013 of any player in the history of the National Football League.

I can't begin to explain how uncomfortable it is to watch this guy talk about how he'll be pulling for Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Super Bowl this weekend. "Go Patriots," he says, with a pump of his fist. It is a disaster.

The extra point is the nonalcoholic beer of football : nobody asked for it in the first place ; nobody has ever gone to a game for one ; nobody really wants it around ; but since it doesn't do much harm , it's hung around for decades now . NFL Total Access's Rich Eisen called the extra point the "penny" of the NFL , and that too seems pretty appropriate .

For the first time in NFL history, the best offense (by yards and scoring) will face the best defense (by yards and scoring) in the Super Bowl. 

This will be the fifth time since the AFL and NFL merged that the league’s top-scoring offense played the top-scoring defense in the Super Bowl, the first since the Buffalo Bills(top offense) and New York Giants(top defense) met to close the 1990 season. 

Oddsmakers had trouble picking the favorite in what figures to be one of the most evenly matched -- and heavily bet -- Super Bowls ever.

Bettors knew who they wanted, though, putting early money on Denver and making the Broncos a slight favorite to beat the Seattle Seahawks in most of this city's legal betting parlors.

Denver was favored by 1 point at several books in the early betting, while others had the Broncos as high as a 3-point pick. The move to the Broncos came after some books had initially made the Seahawks as much as a 2-point pick in the game.

On Sunday , January 26 – the NFL’s perfect may take the field at Aloha Stadium and probably give us a typically boring show comparing by modern history. Fortunately , you will get a lot of time for eye candy which the 2014 NFL Pro Bowl cheerleaders are usually more than happy to provide .

Earlier this week , the league announced the ‘starting’ cheerleader team which will feature a lone standout from every squad around the league .

However , not every team in the NFL has cheerleaders so you will see a few teams lacking representation while others for some odd reason , aren’t sending anybody .

Here are your 2014 NFL Pro Bowl cheerleaders.

Nike announced, on Thursday, a line of items, inspired by the Lombardi Trophy, to use in the Super Bowl on the field and on the sidelines. 

The products as used by the players in the first wintry weather , outdoor Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb . 2 at MetLife Stadium include a Dri-Fit base layer with an integrated hood that protects the player from the effects of rain and snow , a new "zero slip" cleat with better traction whose improvement Nike says was accelerated by way of 3D printer and gloves which have an outer shell to protect the players hands from the elements with the inner part of the glove lined with fleece . 

For the sidelines, Nike offer the players exactly what it calls its Aeroloft Summit Jacket , which is thin and light or a heavier parka , both ones are filled up with goose down for warmth . 

Like most of the collection , the jackets are highlighted by its silver color inspired by the Lombardi Trophy. Many of the items will be available at retail.
