PHOENIX - Patriots owner Robert Krafts pre-emptive strike the previous night took the issue of air pressure in footballs on Super Bowl media day and, well, deflated it. Jayson Stanley Jersey . Not only was the topic rarely raised in questioning of players from both sides Tuesday, but Krafts protesting how his franchise is being portrayed seemed to provide the last word on the issue — for now. In a short appearance at media day, Kraft assessed the impact of his strong statement delivered when New England arrived Monday. During that statement, he said he expects an apology from the NFL when its investigation determines the Patriots did nothing wrong. To be honest, I think by and large except for our quarterback they dont pay much attention to it, Kraft said of the Patriots reaction to the under-inflated footballs controversy. I think they think its a bunch of hogwash. Bill (Belichick) does a good job of making them understand what they have to focus on. Ive gotten a lot of positive comments from them. I just said what I believed. Beyond that, the NFLs investigation of deflated footballs used by New England in the AFC championship victory over Indianapolis gave way to questions about players favourite musicians, movies and clothing. The always dashing Belichick, wearing a hoodie, of course, jeans and flip-flops on the podium, deflected any and all references to the subject. Not that there were more than two or three queries. Quarterback Tom Brady, clearly at ease and having fun with the varied topics, barely was approached about the issue. Same thing for the rest of the Patriots, who figure the investigation led by NFL Executive Vice-President Jeff Pash and Ted Wells of the law firm of Paul Weiss will stretch well beyond Sundays title game. For All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, there was an entirely different line of questioning he was thrilled to avoid. It feels good not to get any questions asked about my health, no doubt, said Gronkowski, who was hobbled for the 2012 Super Bowl loss to the Giants. It feels good to be 100 per cent healthy and 100 per cent ready to roll for this game and not get a million questions like last time about my ankle. For their part, the Seahawks seemed nothing more than amused about the probe into under-inflated footballs. All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, who on Sunday said he didnt expect the Patriots to get punished even if found guilty because of Krafts close ties to Commissioner Roger Goodell, chuckled when asked if he could tell when a football didnt have enough air. When I get my hands on them Im trying to return them, not check the pressure, Sherman said. Nor is Seahawks centre Max Unger, who merely has his hands on the football on very offensive snap. People keep asking me if I can feel the difference between pressure of the ball, Unger said, a touch of wonderment in his eyes. Im the centre, I touch it every single play. I cant, if Im being honest with you. I dont think it really even matters that much. Ah, but to some folks it matters a lot. And, obviously, the NFL is very serious about its investigation. Defensive tackle Kevin Williams, in his first Super Bowl after spending 11 seasons in Minnesota, understands in part what is driving the air pressure hysteria. You would be surprised, a lot of fans are interested in that stuff, Williams said. In the end it wont help you tackle anybody or get anybody on the ground. But at the same time you want everybody to be on the same competitive level. But Williams knows how much impact it will have on the Patriots and Seahawks on Sunday. Oh man, it is pretty dumb, he said. Im not going to say it is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of — you want guys on the same level — but I have said that it wont help anybody cover, it wont help anybody defeat blocks. It is not a big issue.

Matt Ryan Jersey . City, fielding a depleted team having already qualified, was twice pegged back by the plucky Czech champions but substitute Negredo tapped home in the 78th minute and Dzekos header made sure of victory in the 89th.

The Irish golfer, whose father Patrick died from cancer, says he underwent surgery for sun spots.

On Sunday, when Denvers quarterback regained the record against the Houston Texans, he was able to soak in the historic moment. "It was very special," he said. "Very rarely during an NFL game do you get to have a moment like that." Manning regained his record with 51 when he threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns, including three in the fourth quarter to give Denver its third straight AFC West title. He surpassed the 50 TD passes Tom Brady threw in 2007 and led the Broncos (12-3) to a 37-13 win over the Texans (2-13) that extended Houstons franchise-record skid to 13 games. Manning did it on a 25-yard pass to Julius Thomas with 4:28 remaining. Just 2 1/2 minutes earlier, he tied the mark with a 20-yard pass to Eric Decker. Manning figures Brady will overtake him again one day, especially if the NFL moves to an 18-game regular season. "I think its a unique thing and a neat thing to be a part of NFL history, even though it may be temporary," he said. "So Im going to enjoy it as long as it lasts, and hopefully the Hall of Fame will send the ball back once somebody throws for more." He entered the game with 47 and his first touchdown came on a 36-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter. The second was a 10-yard throw to Decker earlier in the fourth period. The Broncos already had a spot in the playoffs, but their victory, combined with Kansas Citys loss to Indianapolis, gave them the division crown. "This only means something because it helped our team win games and we won the division today in a competitive AFC West," Manning said. "Thats a good thing." Manning had previously established the record by throwing 49 touchdown passes in 2004. He has a career-high 5,211 yards passing this season, which is third in NFL history and 265 yards shy of the 5,476 yards Drew Brees gained in 2011. "
