- The New England Patriots will be landing in Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI this afternoon after a send-off rally at Gillette Stadium.
- The New York Giants don’t arrive until tomorrow, at which point Tom Coughlin’s midnight curfew takes effect.
- The Giants are talking the talk. Cornerback Corey Webster: ”I think I’m great. I think I’m the best thing out there. I don’t think I’m second to nobody.” Nice and modest ahead of a matchup with Tom Brady.
- Could this be Osi Umenyiora‘s last game as a Giant?
- Signs continue to point to a divorce between the Colts and Peyton Manning. But Jim Irsay continues to deny, deny, deny.
- And it looks like the Colts have a new offensive coordinator in Bruce Arians, who was Manning’s position coach as a rookie and played a large role in Ben Roethlisberger‘s development. Andrew Luck will be in good hands.
- Meanwhile, talk continues to connect the Jets to Manning.
- Matt Cassel now has something in common with Jose Canseco.
- And Aldon Smith now has something in common with teammate Ray McDonald.
- The Bears have finally replaced Jerry Angelo. Congratulations to Phil Emery, who gets to take over a team in flux with a head coach already in place and with it being too late to make any major changes to the coaching staff.
