NEW YORK (AP) -- No sibling rivalry between the Manning boys. At least that's what Eli Manning tells David Letterman. Eli now has two Super Bowl rings, to big brother Peyton's one. Eli and his New York Giants beat the New England Patriots Sunday in the big game. It was Eli's second Super Bowl victory with the Giants and the team's fourth overall. Letterman wants to know how long it will before Eli starts teasing his brother. Eli says "never." Letterman's advice: give it a week then go to work on the guy.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stu Miller figures his wife just might kill him. That's because of all the New York Giants stuff he's been buying. He snapped up three Super Bowl T-shirts and was thinking about a Giants blanket and another shirt. Miller was one of the fans who crowded into Modell's in New York's Times Square. The manager predicts a huge foam hand with four extended fingers will be a big seller. The fingers, of course, are for the Giants four Super Bowl victories.
