Super Bowl committee officials are putting the finishing touches on the biggest sweepstakes in Indianapolis history. The hard part is making sure they hold the winning ticket. Bid committee spokesman Bob Schultz said March 30 the group will spend this weekend finalizing details and ensuring that NFL requirements are met when the three-binder proposal is delivered to the league office. "It will be hand-delivered Monday," Schultz said. Details of the proposal for the 2011 game were being kept quiet to prevent other cities from getting a competitive advantage, Deputy Mayor Steve Campbell said.

Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, disclosed a partial list of the league's TV schedule at the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix. The Bears will face the Chargers in the main national tilt on the season's first full Sunday of games while the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants will renew their rivalry in the year's first Sunday night game. ESPN will have a Monday night doubleheader in Week 1 with the Bengals hosting the Ravens and the Cardinals traveling to San Francisco to take on the 49ers. The Lions and Cowboys will host their traditional Thanksgiving Day games with Detroit playing the Green Bay Packers and Dallas squaring off against the New York Jets. For the second straight year, the NFL Network will host a Thanksgiving night game when the Colts head to Atlanta to face the Falcons.

Free-agent defensive back Dexter Reid was arrested on gun and drug charges Sunday after being pulled over on suspicion of drunken driving. Reid, a Norfolk native, won his second Super Bowl ring last month and then was released by the Colts. He was driving a black 2004 GMC SUV when he was pulled over at 4:32 a.m. in the city, police spokesman Sgt. Brian Ricardo said. While officers were investigating, they found a handgun and marijuana in the vehicle, Ricardo said. Reid, 26, was cooperative with officers, who charged him with first-offense possession of a concealed weapon and with a felony charge of possession of marijuana.

Colts QB Peyton Manning used his "Saturday Night Live" monologue to poke a little fun at his mother. With his immediate family in the audience, the Super Bowl MVP introduced his father, Archie, who was a star quarterback, saying "he taught me everything I know." He then introduced his brother, Eli -- the Giants starting QB -- before asking his mother, Olivia, to stand up during the live television broadcast on NBC. "She never made it to the NFL," Manning said, feigning disgust. "Didn't have what it took. Got cut by the Dolphins, tried Canada for a bit. She's a real disappointment for all of us." The cameras then switched to the Manning clan sitting in their seats, laughing.

Tony Dungy is a deeply religious man who puts his faith first in his life, even above family and football. So his support of a proposed gay-marriage ban likely surprised few. What was surprising is the Colts' quiet coach shared his position publicly, sparking discussion about the impact of the Super Bowl winner's comments. Dungy caused a stir Tuesday when he accepted the "Friend of Family" award from the conservative Indiana Family Institute. The coach told the audience he supported the group's efforts to amend the Indiana constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman.

Peyton Manning, fresh off his win in Super Bowl XLI, will be hosting Saturday Night Live on Saturday, March 24th. The musical guest, Carrie Underwood, has her own familiarities with NFL quarterbacks. Underwood was linked to Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo late last year.

Unrestricted free agent Cato June, one of the NFL's top "cover two" linebackers, is headed to the team that all but invented the scheme that helped make him a Pro Bowl performer. June, who helped lead the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl XLI championship in 2006, on Saturday reached agreement with the Tampa Bay Bucs on a three-year contract. June visited with Bucs officials and coaches on Friday and the two sides struck a quick deal.

Thanks to Peyton Manning's first Super Bowl title and his MVP performance, the last month has been anything but typical for the Colts quarterback. "Everything's been condensed a little bit, but that's good," Manning said Wednesday in a phone interview from Dallas. "It's a lot more fun working to find vacation time than figuring out a way to win the Super Bowl."

Wide receiver Brandon Stokley, one of the last remaining big-name players on the free-agent market, visited the Broncos on Tuesday. Stokley's agent, Rick Smith, said Tuesday night he had nothing new to report on negotiations. Denver is expected to talk to the player's representatives later this week. The Broncos will have competition for Stokley, who visited New Orleans last week.

Running back Dominic Rhodes, one of the heroes of the Colts' Super Bowl XLI championship less than two months ago, is headed to the team that finished the 2006 season with the league's worst record. Rhodes on Friday morning agreed with the Raiders on a two-year contract that can be worth as much as $7.5 million, league sources confirmed for ESPN.com. Rhodes had generated considerable interest as an unrestricted free agent and made several visits, but met with Oakland officials earlier this week and was sold on the opportunity there.
