Merchandisers in the New York area have marked down Plaxico Burress jerseys as much as 75%, but fans still aren't interested in buying them. "We marked them down because he's not playing anymore. I don't think I've sold one since the shooting," one Sports Authority worker said. "All of a sudden they just stopped selling," she said. "They used to be really hot."

Eli Manning was asked if he planned to go to San Diego to watch his brother Peyton play for the Indianapolis Colts against the Chargers in the first round. ?No, no, no plans,? Manning said. As an afterthought, Manning added: ?My plans to Cabo fell through, so I am going to sit here. That is a joke, by the way.? He was referring to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where Romo vacationed last year when the Cowboys had a first-round bye. Romo made the trip with his girlfriend Jessica Simpson, her family and some of his teammates. After Romo returned, the Cowboys were eliminated by the Giants, who went on to win the Super Bowl.

Las Vegas sports books favor the Giants to win the Super Bowl, giving 2-to-1 odds on the NFC's No. 1 seed to repeat as champions. The Titans are the favorite among AFC teams to win a title at 4-1, closely followed by the Steelers at 9-2.

Giants' running back Derrick Ward topped 1,000 yards rushing for the season on Sunday against Vikings, giving New York only the fourth pair of 1,000-yard backs in league history. Brandon Jacobs, who was inactive on Sunday, rushed for 1,089 yards this season. Miami's Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris formed the first running back duo to rush for 1,000 yards each in 1972. Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier did it for Pittsburgh in 1976, and Earnest Byner and Kevin Mack did it for Cleveland in 1985.

Giants? wide receiver Plaxico Burress had two more guns in his house, according to FOX 5 News on Tuesday night. The network said that authorities recovered the pistols when they searched Burress' home. Citing anonymous sources, New York?s local affiliate reported that the guns were a 9-millimeter handgun and a loaded rifle.

Giants' receiver Plaxico Burress could be in more trouble if reports are true that he was driving without insurance prior to a crash in May. Alise Smith of Miami said she suffered neck and back injuries in May when a tailgating Burress rear-ended her with his $140,000 Mercedes-Benz. She recently sued him. Compounding Burress' problems was that he failed to make his insurance payments, and his coverage was terminated three days before the crash.

The Giants are hoping to have running back Brandon Jacobs on the field Sunday night for their NFC showdown with the Panthers. "I feel good," Jacobs said after practicing for the third straight day on Friday. He is officially listed as questionable for the game.

The Giants decided against signing wide receiver Joe Horn, the Newark Star-Ledger reported Wednesday. Horn had arrived in the New York area Tuesday and met with the Giants on Wednesday. According to the report, the Giants opted against signing Horn due to concerns about his explosiveness.

Former Saints wide receiver Joe Horn has been contacted by the Giants, and reports indicate that a signing could be imminent. The source, who requested anonymity, said Horn arrived in the New York area Tuesday night and will take a physical Wednesday. Horn, 36, has been a free agent since the Falcons released him on Aug. 19, after Horn requested a trade.

Giants' running back Brandon Jacobs is suffering from a similar injury to the one Tiki Barber played through during his rookie season in 1997. He injured his PCL on Oct. 5 against the Seahawks, played through the problem, aggravated it Nov. 16 against the Ravens, and sat out the following week in Arizona. He then started against the Redskins, before being forced out of the team's loss to the Eagles and missing the team's most recent game. "I think it tore all the way through his PCL like mine did so it doesn't hurt but you have to get used to it," said Barber. "You can't push off the same way you used to, but he'll get used to it. It will slow him down a little bit, which isn't necessarily a bad thing."
