A Super Bowl ring by Peyton Manning today could add to a MVP winning season. Peyton Manning’s Super Bowl 2010 comes in a season of already winning the MVP.

And in 2008, he did the same.

In 2008, LALATE first broke that Peyton Manning had been named AP and USA Today’s NFL MVP 2008, becoming the only three time winner with Brett Favre.

That year, Peyton was a “landslide winner” in voting by 50 writers and broadcasters. Manning previously won the MVP in 2003 and shared it with Steve McNair in 2004. Second place was Chad Pennington.

USA Today wrote in 2008 that “Peyton Manning, in his dependably overachieving fashion, emerged from the competition with yet another dominating performance that has earned him USA TODAY’s NFL MVP award.”

This year Manning did it again, breaking a new record.

A 2010 win put Manning as the first NFL player ever to win it four times. Manning won the NFL MVP by a landslide - 39 1/2 votes compared to Drew Brees’ 71 1/2. In third was Phillip Rivers (2 votes) and Favre (1). Favre has won the award three times.

In a statement then, Peyton Manning said the following:

“I’m very humbled and grateful to be honoured with this award and I really feel like it is a reflection of our team.

“I have to believe that starting 14-0 and having seven comeback wins has a lot to do with this award coming our way, and I’m very grateful to all the players and the coaches and our fans, who were a big part of it. There were a number of other extremely deserving candidates.”

In 2007 Kim was splashing across foreign press with friend Paris Hilton. A divorced Kardashian had just ended a three year relationship with Brandy Norwood’s brother Ray J that followed  a previous four year marriage. She confessed to press often that 2007 was the year she wished to be single.

That was until she met Reggie Bush.

Kardashian explained that when you combined the four years of her marriage, the three with Ray J, she had never been single, and hoped she could give herself one year hanging solo. It ended quickly when she met Bush.

VIDEO! Here is a CLASSIC Reggie Bush vs Peyton Manning commercial ad video. It’s Bush vs. Manning, cerca 2007!

In winter 2007,  Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian were two of the original four most written about celebrities on a just launched LALATE.

So in preparing for Super Bowl 2010 Sunday, LALATE looked back at some of those classic Reggie Bush stories - the private Hollywood bash, the stunning Hollywood Hills bachelor pad, and yes those incredible rides.

And then this appeared - a September 2007 commercial between a young Bush and Manning.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO

The ad featured the newcomer Saint against the Colts star in an ad spot to promote the upcoming NFL season. The premise of the commercial was who can spend the most.

At the time, LALATE wrote of Bush:

“lalate news can report that Reggie Bush has scored the ultimate bachelor pad, a Hollywood Hills mansion that sold for approximately $5 million. The four-bedroom house will be his official offseason residence. The house is 4 bedrooms / 6 baths , features a 23-foot-high living room ceiling, elevator, and is three levels.”

And while it might be one of the best ad spots that could air Super Bowl Sunday, don’t expect this NBC ad spot to air on CBS Sunday.

TIME! Here is the start time for Super Bowl 2010. Super Bowl start time is Sunday from Sun Life Stadium in Miami Florida ending an incredible season and bringing two of the best, and most exciting teams, in the AFC and NFC head to head.

Kick off start time is 6:25 PM EST 3:25 PM PST Sunday from Miami.

A recent poll of online readers across several top sports sites found most contend the Colts will prevail Sunday, even though the emotional favorite is the Saints.

For the Colts, it’s Peyton Manning competing against his hometown team, a city that that his father once lead, returning to win a second Super Bowl in four years.

For the Saints, it’s a team that many wondered would even return to New Orleans after Katrina, and now are going to the Super Bowl, for their first time ever.

Whether it’s Archie Manning, or Dwight Freeney - believed by many as the best in the league - there is so much to watch in Sunday’s excitement.

But as insiders contend, Sunday’s game could bring scoring numbers into the 30s, even 40s, for both teams by the fourth quarter. And despite the impressive defensive line for both the Colts and the Saints, this will be an offensive-won Super Bowl!

2010 was the year that Peyton Manning won his fourth league MVP, a record. Could Peyton now join John Elway, Terry Bradshaw, Tom Brady and Joe Montana as a repeat Super Bowl champion quarterback?

Here are your Colts vs Saints numbers coming into Super Bowl Sunday action.

Manning for the season has passed 4500 yards with 33 TDs, 16 INTs, and a 69% completion rate. Addai leads Colts rushing with 10 TDs on 219 carries over 828 yards. Brown has 3 TDs in 78 carries over 281 yards. Wyane has 10 TDs in 100 receptions over 1264 yards. Clark also has 10 TDs in 1106 yards in 100 receptions.

Brees has the incredible 71% completion rate, 34 TDs, 11 INTs in 4388 yards. Thomas leads rushing with 6 TDs in 147 carries over 793 yards. Bell has 5 TDs in 172 carries over 654 yards. Colston leads receiving 70 receptions pulling 9 TDs in 1074 yards while Henderson has 2 TDs in 51 receptions over 804 yards.

Oprah Winfrey sits down with Pink to remember one of the best, if not THE best, Grammy performance this year. It was classy, amazing, and totally mind blowing. But did you expect anything less of Pink, one of the best talents in the industry.

The song was “Glitter In The Air”, and she delivered it very high up there. Literally.

Pink took the sky in a trapeze act, spraying liquid over Staples Center. Pink already had three Grammys to her name. But Sunday night, she used a mere ribbon to let it all hang out.

Here is Pink’s video and your night’s Grammy winners.
