Detroit Lions

The Saints' upset victory in Super Bowl XLIV, 31-17 over the Indianapolis Colts, vaults Drew Brees, the Little Quarterback Who Could, into a new realm of the game's elite.

The Browns released the troubled wide receiver on Monday, wasting little time after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday that Stallworth would be reinstated.

The Nielsen Co. estimated that 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts. That beats the "M-A-S-H" finale, which had 105.97 million viewers.

The oddmakers didn't have a "when pigs fly" category, so they installed the Lions as mere long shots to go all the way next season.

The Super Bowl was watched by more than 106 million people, surpassing the 1983 finale of "M*A*S*H" to become the most-watched program in television history.

And they think the buildup to the Super Bowl is full of hyperbole. It has nothing on the aftermath. No single event causes more people to break their necks in making ridiculous proclamations.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke Friday at his annual Super Bowl press conference at the media center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Goodell addressed the league's position in the collective bargaining agreement and fielded questions about head injuries, overtime, extending the regular season and the NFL's possible return to Mexico, among other things.

Detroit Lions offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus says his grandmother and brother are safe after the Haiti earthquake, but other extended family members were killed.

Coaching staffs from the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions will work the Senior Bowl on Jan. 30. Miami's Tony Sparano and his staff will coach the South. Jim Schwartz and other Lions personnel will handle the North.
