The Detroit automaker said Friday that it won't be advertising on the Feb. 3 spectacle because of a steep price hike demanded by CBS, the network broadcasting the game. "We understand the reach the Super Bowl provides, but with the significant increase in price, we simply can't justify the expense," GM marketing chief Joel Ewanick said in a statement. A person with knowledge of advertising costs said Friday that CBS wants 25-to-30-percent more for air time than NBC charged during...

"You're up on stage getting the box," Manning said Wednesday night, "and you wonder how quickly you can get off stage and open the box and get the ring on.

It was the second title in four years for Manning and the Giants, and the fourth overall in the Super Bowl era for the franchise.

Fred Flintstone bowled. So did Ralph Kramden and The Dude from "The Big Lebowski. " Over the 5,200 years-and-counting the game's been around, almost everyone has. None of them is a match for Pete Weber. "When I was younger, I always wished I could be more like Fred Couples the golfer, you know, more cool, calm and collected," Weber said over the telephone Tuesday. "I wouldn't get bashed as much. But somebody has got to be the villain. " Weber also happens to be one of the five greatest bowlers ever, something he's determined not to let the rest of us forget.

Have NFL fans seen the last of the Pro Bowl? The game could be suspended next year, two people familiar with discussions said Thursday. Commissioner Roger Goodell, among others, expressed concerns about the quality of play after January's game, and the league has been holding talks with the players' union about the future of the all-star game. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were not being publicized.

(Dominic Chavez/Globe Staff file photo) A cooking class at the Haley House. By Myeshia Henderson, Globe Correspondent It's not easy keeping a non-profit agency afloat in a sagging economy; it takes some creativity. At the Haley House Soup Kitchen, the secret is in the soup. The Haley House, which runs a soup kitchen and a bakery cafe and other programs, recently opened its doors for its annual Souper Bowl Sunday event, started four years ago to raise money for its services to the homeless.

While Roger Goodell is at it, he should vacate the New Orleans Saints' 2010 Super Bowl title, earned while the Saints had a bounty system for deliberately injuring opposing players. It was bad enough the system existed for the last three seasons. But players and coaches also engaged in a cover-up. Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League, said without hesitation in an interview Wednesday on the NFL Network, "We were misled, there denials throughout that period. Clearly we were lied to. We investigated this back in 2010.

ALBUQUERQUE - The locker room was filled with laughter as the Harvard basketball team prepared for Thursday's NCAA Tournament game against Vanderbilt. But there were no diagrams of plays or a breakdown of the Commodores on the blackboard. Instead, Wesley Saunders, a 6-foot-5-inch freshman guard, was playing the word game Hangman. As the players guessed letters and still couldn't come up with the word, Saunders heard the taunts and jeers. "Maybe," he said with a smile as he filled in what he thought were the letters of pulchritudinous.

The Chicago Bears have acquired Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall from the Miami Dolphins. There was widespread speculation that the Bears would go after a high-profile free-agent receiver such as Vincent Jackson, but they filled their biggest hole with a blockbuster trade, instead, sending two undisclosed draft picks to Miami. The deal announced Tuesday was first reported by Fox Sports. It's the first big move under new general manager Phil Emery, who replaced the fired Jerry Angelo, and it gives Jay Cutler the go-to receiver he's been seeking since he...
