• Patriots lead 10-9 at half in Super Bowl (AP) November 7, 2011
  The New York Giants rallied past the New England Patriots like they did in their Super Bowl-winning drive in 2008. They know they're a long way from getting back there, though. With Eli Manning leading a last-minute comeback reminiscent of that march, the Giants beat the Patriots 24-20 on Sunday on his 1-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ballard with 15 seconds left.
• Gronkowski, Ochocinco active for Pats (AP) February 5, 2012
  All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski is active for the Patriots for the Super Bowl, as is wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. Gronkowski has been recovering from a high left ankle sprain suffered in the AFC title game. He practiced on a limited basis this week. Receiver Ochocinco was inactive for the conference title game because of the death of his father a week earlier.
• Miami shocks No. 7 Duke 78-74 in OT (AP) February 5, 2012
  Leave it to the biggest player on Miami's roster to put the Hurricanes on his back and carry them to their most impressive victory in quite a while.

• Goodell: NFL could eliminate Pro Bowl (AP) February 5, 2012
  NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he is disappointed in the quality of last week's Pro Bowl and changes must be considered, perhaps even dropping the game altogether. Speaking on ESPN Radio, Goodell says this year's Pro Bowl wasn't "the kind of football we want to be demonstrating to our fans, and you heard it from the fans, the fans were actively booing in the stands."...
• Green leads No. 9 Spartans past Michigan (AP) February 5, 2012
  Michigan State's Draymond Green made good on his guarantee against Michigan with the best game of his career in the series. Green had 14 points and 16 rebounds -- as many as his hated rival could manage -- to lead the ninth-ranked Spartans to a 64-54 win over the 23rd-ranked Wolverines on Sunday, ending a three-game losing streak in the rivalry.
• Underwood wishes Pats well after release (AP) February 5, 2012
  Tiquan Underwood is wishing the New England Patriots good luck after they cut him on the eve of the Super Bowl. If they win, the wide receiver who had three catches this season would be eligible for a championship ring. Underwood tweeted that he would use his release as motivation, thanked his supporters and wished the Patriots luck.
• Stanley wins Phoenix in remarkable rally (AP) February 6, 2012
  Kyle Stanley knew exactly how Spencer Levin felt. Taking advantage of Levin's final-round meltdown, Stanley rebounded from a devastating loss to win the Phoenix Open on Sunday, overcoming an eight-stroke deficit in a comeback as unlikely as his collapse last week at Torrey Pines. "I really feel for him, experiencing that," Stanley said about Levin, echoing what Brandt Snedeker said...
• Garnett helps Celts win fourth straight (AP) February 5, 2012
  Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers could see that Kevin Garnett was looking and feeling spry.

• Man U rallies from 3 down to tie Chelsea (AP) February 5, 2012
  Javier Hernandez completed Manchester United's comeback from 3-0 down at Chelsea on Sunday, with a late header salvaging a 3-3 draw that still left the champions two points off the Premier League summit After storming into a 3-0 lead by the 50th minute, Chelsea collapsed at home by conceding two penalties that Wayne Rooney converted and then allowing Hernandez to level in the 84th.
• Mancuso wins super-G, Vonn can't finish (AP) February 5, 2012
  Julia Mancuso's wait for her first win of the season is over. Lindsey Vonn will have to wait a little longer to break another record. Mancuso won a super-G on Sunday for her first World Cup victory of the season, while Vonn skied off the course and did not finish. It was the first time two different American women have won World Cup races on consecutive days since December 2006, when it was also...
