NY Giants Win Super Bowl XLVI [VIDEO]
They’ll be parading through the “Canyon of Heroes” on Tuesday, as the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl…again. Their Super Bowl XLVI feat repeats a similar late-game win over the Patriots four years ago.
FOX News Radio’s Jeff Monosso reports from Indianapolis:

(Madonna) “There will be no wardrobe malfunctions.”
But that wasn’t the issue with the Super Bowl halftime show, nor was it Madonna. It was a guest performer. MIA was rapping on Madonna’s new single, “Gimme All Your Luvin'”…
(MIA Performance) “I’m gonna say this once, yeah, I don’t give a…”
…And we leave that NBC clip right there. The profanity she may have rapped was distorted, but the middle finger she gave the camera was not. The NFL and NBC apologized, then pointed fingers at one another…index fingers, this time. The NFL blamed NBC’s delay system for being late in cutting away from the gesture. NBC pointed out the NFL hired MIA to perform at halftime.
