Saints hero
New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma plans to visit his parents' homeland of Haiti after the Super Bowl is over and make a hands-on contribution to relief efforts in the earthquake-struck country. Vilma will line up against the Indianapolis Colts, who feature wide-receiver Pierre Garcon also of Haitian descent, in Sunday's Super Bowl.
In the limelight
A right-ankle injury to Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney has thrown little-known reserve Raheem Brock into the limelight just days before Sunday's Super Bowl at Dolphin Stadium. With Freeney walking gingerly and listed as questionable for the game against the New Orleans Saints, Brock went from obscurity to the center ring in the Super Bowl's media circus.
