(AP) — Vonta Leach was released Tuesday by the Baltimore Ravens, who failed to agree on a restructured contract with the three-time All-Pro fullback. Leach was an integral part of a running game that helped the Ravens become champions last season. Paving the way for standout halfback Ray Rice, Leach made the Pro Bowl in each of his two s...

(AP) — It seemed a perfect fit when Tim Pernetti was hired as athletic director at Rutgers in April 2009. A New Jersey native who played tight end for the Scarlet Knights, the 42-year-old Pernetti had witnessed the athletic department's push toward respectability with a close eye and was viewed as the right man to push it even further. ...

Their beaten opponent has a better chance of doing it next season. San Francisco running back Frank Gore insisted the 49ers were the more talented team even after losing 34-31 to the Ravens in Sunday's Super Bowl.

Super Bowl tradition deems that the game's MVP appear at a ceremony the following morning to shake hands with the commissioner of the NFL, accept the shiny trophy, pose for pictures and receive the keys to a new car.

Torrey Smith just might be the difference in a Super Bowl that will hinge on the 49ers' ability to prevent the Baltimore Ravens from scoring with the long ball. You might remember Smith from that playoff game in Denver on Jan. 12. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey sure does. Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowl s...

The Baltimore Ravens are in the Super Bowl in part because of Leach's ability to pave a path for Rice to follow. If that involves sticking his helmet into the chest of a 300-pound defensive lineman, then so be it. "It's just my job," said Leach, a...

For Frank Gore, it took a while. Two running backs with contrasting styles and story lines will be on display at this Super Bowl, but they have one thing in common — plenty of respect for each other.
