Photo Gallery: Giants Ticker Tape Parade
New York celebrates Super Bowl XLVI victory in style.
Check out the gallery above to see photos from Tuesday's Ticker Tape parade in New York City, celebrating the Giants' victory in Super Bowl XLVI. Hundreds of thousands of fans flocked to the Canyon of Heroes in downtown Manhattan to ring in New York's latest championship. Paper flew from buildings, fans tossed toilet paper rolls back and forth over Broadway Avenue, and the Giants rolled by with smiles as they ended at City Hall to accept keys to the city from Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Send Us Your Pictures From Tuesday's Giants Parade, Rally
Patch wants your pictures from morning parade through Canyon of Heroes in New York City honoring Big Blue; afternoon rally with Gov. Chris Christie at MetLife Stadium.
Where will you be celebrating the Giants Super Bowl XLVI win tomorrow? Will you be at the Canyon of Heroes in New York City at 11 a.m.? Or, will you tailgate with your Jersey brethren at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands beginning at 3 p.m.? Will you play hooky from work or school and watch as Big Blue parties with their fans? We want to know. Send Patch a photo of yourself — before you go, while you party or even after either (or both celebrations). The team won their second Super Bowl in five years, beating the New England Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII, this time by a score of 21-17.

Giants Parade: New York or New Jersey?
The debate continues on which state calls the Giants home.
It's an argument that's been boiling over since 1976–or, at least since the Giants started winning Super Bowls. Where to hold the victory parade? The Canyon of Heroes, as is the traditional place a New York-based sporting team takes its victory lap (the G-Men are set to walk down at 11 a.m. Tuesday), or in New Jersey, where the newly crowned Super Bowl champion team has actually been located for 36 years? It's hotly-debated, so much so Gov. Chris Christie has been calling them the "New Jersey" Giants. What do you think? Should it be exclusively in New Jersey? New York? Or, can football fans from both sides of the border agree that the Giants are both states' teams? Chime in below.

You can call them the "METRO NEW JERSEY/YORK (or YORK -JERSEY) GIANTS" But then you would need a Giant (big) shirt to put all that on! Since they play and train in New Jersey, New Jersey should go first. How about taking a tour boat and put the Giants on that and let them sail down the Hudson to the Statue of Liberty (Federal property) where both Governors and a bunch of mayors can make speeches. more ›
Giants Win Super Bowl, Manning Named MVP
New York mounts comeback on final drive to beat New England.
INDIANAPOLIS – The crowd was eerily quiet as Eli Manning and the Giants took over for one last drive in the final four minutes of Super Bowl XLVI. Like he’s done countless times during the 2011 season, Manning made a series of precision passes – five to be exact, including a 38-yard out route to Mario Manningham that sparked the drive – and set New York up inside the 10-yard line. Ahmad Bradshaw finished the drive with a 6-yard touchdown run that capped a 21-17 Giants victory over the New England Patriots at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday night. Manning, who was 30-for-40 passing, threw for 296 yards and one touchdown, earning his second Super Bowl MVP award against the Patriots. “We moved the ball down the field, and Eli [Manning] made some …

Patch Notes & Quotes from Super Bowl XLVI
An inside look at the numbers, story lines and fun facts from the game.
INDIANAPOLIS – With the media hoopla just about over and the players hunkered down at their hotels before Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVI match, both the Giants and Patriots seemed to be ready for what many are predicting could be one of the best Super Bowls ever. Brady vs. Manning, Coughlin vs. Belichick, New York vs. New England, a rematch of 2007, a rematch of the game earlier this season, Eli in Peyton’s city, the story lines have been never-ending. What’s more are the individual stories every player brings into this game; their previous teams, their journey to the big game, overcoming adversity, their family lines and much more.

Cougars Headed to Essex County Track Tournament Sunday at Seton Hall
Girls take part in first round of county hoops tournament Saturday at 1 p.m.
Columbia Boys Basketball Rolling Again
Cougar boys having fantastic follow up season
As the regular season winds down, with championship season right around the corner, the Columbia boys basketball team finds itself in a similar position to the Cougar squad a year ago. At 12-3, the Cougars are playing as well as just about anyone in Essex County, which is a good thing, considering the County tournament is already underway. They've been led by a stingy defense, which has allowed just under 47 points per game. Their high ball pressure defense has been the key, leading to a transition game which is a large part of Columbia's offensive identity. "Defense has been the key to victory," said second year Cougar head coach Eddie Turner. "We put a lot of pressure on the man on the ball. Everyone else mans up and it forces the ball …
Celtics Basketball Teams Continue Strong Showings
The St. Joseph’s Celtics basketball teams had a full schedule of games this past weekend playing some stiff competition but still brought home five wins.
The Celtics JV 6th grade girls continued their winning ways by defeating St. Helen of Westfield this past Sunday 23-12. They were led by a balanced scoring attack and aggressive defense, allowing the team to improve its record to 6-3. They have three remaining games where they will look to improve their position for the playoffs. The Celtics JV 5th grade girls had another nail-biter weekend of basketball games. The girls split the games with a Saturday win over Our Lady of Peace, New Providence (15-14) and a Sunday loss against St. Teresa of Summit (11-10). On Saturday, the Celtics were led in scoring by Grace Petroccia, Anna Gomez, Sarah Johnson, Abby Valente and CeCe Clarke. Ellie Rounsavill, Zoe Gill, and Frances Lindsay led the …
