National Sports Wrap Colts win Super Bowl XLI The Indianapolis Colts overtook the Chicago Bears 29-17 on Sunday to take the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XLI. Manning was 24 for 38 in passing for 247 yards with one interception and one touchdown. Indianapolis’ star quarterback was also named MVP of the game. Dominic Rhodes had 21 carries for 113 yards while Joseph Addai had 19 carries for 77 yards and caught ten passes for 66 yards. Besides Manning winning his first ring, Head Coach Tony Dungy was the first African-American coach to win a Super Bowl. There were many firsts in the Super Bowl that night besides Dungy’s first ring as a coach; it was the first night it rained as well as the first time a team scored on the opening kickoff return. The Bear’s Devin Hester ran for 92 yards to give Chicago a 6-0 lead. The rest of the first half alone had six turnovers, three for both teams, a botched field goal attempt by the Colts, and a missed field goal by one of the NFL’s most reliable kickers, Adam Vinatieri. Rex Grossman finished with 165 yards passing and two costly interceptions, one of which was picked off by Colt’s cornerback Kelvin Hayden who returned it 56 yards for a touchdown. Barbaro euthanized after complications The famed Kentucky Derby winner, Barbaro was euthanized last Monday morning due to complications from his awful accident at Preakness last year. The prized colt went through almost two dozen surgeries to have a rod and many pins inserted into his right hind leg after it shattered in the opening strides of the race. Barbaro looked as though he would beat the odds and recover, but in July he developed laminitis in his left hind leg. Last Sunday, the horse’s condition reached a critical point when both legs were infected with the critical disease. A very tough decision was reached by doctors to put Barbaro down for it would have been to painful for the horse to continue treatment as well as a very poor outlook for recovery. .
