NFL - The ankle injury to Dwight Freeney, the Colts' star defensive lineman, is the top storyline at the start of Super Bowl week. Colts preparing to play without Freeney. Saints backup Mark Brunell (L) has thrown for 31,928 career yards (and 182 TDs) -- but only 102 yards since '07. In the unlikely (and TV-unfriendly) event of Peyton Manning and Drew Brees going down to injury this Sunday, Don Banks breaks down the QB-battle of Mark Brunell vs. Curtis Painter. Miami downpour alters pre-Super Bowl plans. If stars decide the game, which they usually do, the Colts should win. Only Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who is in the second spot, keeps the Colts from having a sweep of the game's five best players.

Jokinen from Flames. Oilers end 13-game skid, beat Hurricanes. Ducks' Hiller beats Panthers 3-0. Richards, Emery lead Flyers over Flames. Caps win 10th
straight, tie team record. Crosby leads Penguins past Red Wings 2-1. The Bruins aren't out of the playoff hunt yet, but that's only because they play in the East. It's a shocking turn from last year's 116-point performance
MLB - With the Angels vulnerable, the Rangers are positioned to reach the playoffs for the first time in 11 years. They've had 12 consecutive losing seasons
and lost 98 games in 2009, yet the Orioles have a plan in place to return to respectability -- and maybe the playoffs.
NCAA FOOTBALL - Star Search- The countdown to signing day has begun. With five-star recruits like Seantrel Henderson up for grabs, every minute matters.
