The NFL is increasing the number of Thursday night games so more of its teams can play in prime time.

 Maybe, just maybe, the Colts and Peyton Manning are done stealing headlines during Super Bowl week. They might save the real news for later.

 Chris Doleman is not one of the four Pro Football Hall of Fame finalists who won a Super Bowl. He doesn't believe that should affect his chances of being elected to the shrine. Nor does Troy Aikman.

Sorry, Los Angeles. The only NFL expansion happening anytime soon is to next season's schedule of Thursday night games.

Two more federal lawsuits have been filed in Philadelphia blaming the NFL for concussion-related dementia and brain disease.

Tom Coughlin's pinched face, ever present on the New York Giants' sideline during his eight seasons, gives way to a smile more often now. He'll even crack a one-liner or two. Funny how a second trip to the Super Bowl in four years can mellow a guy. In reality, though, the 65-year-old Coughlin is still basically the same coach on the field and definitely the same man off the field.
