It is what it is.... Eli Manning led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive and won his second Super Bowl MVP on Sunday night, leading the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in an exciting finish to an NFL season that started with turmoil and a lockout.

"It's been a wild game," said Manning, who now has one more Super Bowl title than his older brother. "It's been a wild season." The wild finish was certainly fitting to the Giant's season. The Giants (13-7) almost didn't make the playoffs, needing a lot of help at 7-7 with two games left. Their defense finally came together, and Manning gave them a chance in every game with his penchant for comebacks — a league-record 15 touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Manning went 30 for 40 for 296 yards, with one touchdown pass and zero interceptions. Besides Manning's cool and calm closing drive for the go ahead touchdown - the Giants wide receivers, including Puerto Rican standout Victor Cruz, were the difference in this game. Cruz, who set a single-season team record with 1,536 yards receiving, had four catches for 25 yards, including a short touchdown. Hakeem Nicks, who led the Giants' receivers in the postseason, had a team-high 10 catches for 109 yards.

"I feel good, man," Nicks said. "Blessed to be part of this team, blessed to be in this situation." But it was the most unlikely of receivers - Mario Manningham that had the catch of the season.

What does Black History Month mean? In the early 20th century, there were almost no mentions of the contributions of African-Americans in U.S. history textbooks. That is what inspired historian and educator Dr. Carter G. Woodson to start "Negro History Week" in 1926. Woodson choose the month of February for this focus because it was the birth month of two leaders who fought to end slavery: Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

In 1976, President Gerald Ford officially recognized the expanded observance as "Black History Month", calling upon Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history."

Each year, Association for the Study of African American Life and History, the organization started by Woodson in 1915, designates the theme for Black History Month. This year's theme is "Black Women in American Culture and History". The theme was chosen, because, as it states on the ASALH website, "To gain an understanding of the history of African American women is to broaden our understanding of a people and the American nation."

The following is a partial list of Black History Web resources for teachers and parents:

A fugitive on the run for 10 months in Beaver County was arrested on Tuesday as his girlfriend went into labor. Police said Ayende Crawford, 21, was taken into custody after officers said he came out of hiding to be there to see the birth of his child. Investigators said they received a tip that Crawford was at Beaver Hospital with his girlfriend and immediately jumped into action.

"I sent my guys in. We've waited so long and we were not going to take any chances," said Beaver County Sheriff George David. Channel 11's Amy Marcinkiewicz reported that Crawford's girlfriend delivered her baby just minutes after he was arrested. "We weren't giving him the benefit of the doubt. We had to take him right then and there," David said.

Crawford has a lengthy criminal history, including charges of attempted homicide and robbery.

How high were you before you board your flight is the question? Or was there more than weed wrapped in your joint for you do perform such a foollish act? Adam Blumenkranz, a 42-year-old LA man, was arrested Monday for allegedly smoking pot mid-flight in a JetBlue airplane bathroom, KTLA reports.

Flight attendants became suspicious when Blumenkranz dropped a clear plastic bag in the cabin, reports the Associated Press. When he emerged from the lavatory, a "strong smell of marijuana" emerged with him. The plane was flying from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. to Newark, N.J. Police met Blumenkranz at the terminal gate in New Jersey and took him into custody, under charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and drug paraphernalia. According to KTLA, Blumenkranz told police he believed he had done nothing illegal because he has a medical marijuana card.

Legal in California, however, doesn't necessarily mean legal 30,000 feet in the air. As Gather News reports, although sixteen states have legalized cannabis, up in the air, Uncle Sam's in charge: Air travel comes under federal jurisdiction.

Listen.....a medical marijuana card DOESN'T give you access to whip out a joint and just blaze up in the air! Duhhhhhhhhhh....LOL 

How SICK in the mind can one be when you're using a precious image of a dog to harm women. Ughhhhhhhhhh!!!!  According to reports, some metro women who thought they were looking at a cute dog to adopt were actually looking at phony online ads and soon found themselves under attack. Deputies in Paulding County told Channel 2's Ross Cavitt the attacks involved mindless violence. Investigators said they ads were listed on the popular website Craigslist. The ad spoke to dog lovers with a picture of a cute, small, in-demand breed that needed a new home.

In the ad, the seller claimed to be a woman. "When the females are contacting this individual they actually think they are speaking with a female, an older female, and they're not. They're actually speaking with this male juvenile," Deputy Ashley Hensen with the Paulding County Sheriff's Office said.

And when the callers went to look at the dog in a south Paulding subdivision, they found themselves under attack by a teenager chasing them with things like a Taser or hacksaw. One woman said she was victimized twice.

"A female called her on the phone and said, 'That was my child, can you please come back? I'm sorry.' So the female came back to the residence and at that point the male juvenile chased the female with a bat," Hensen said.
