MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) - The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl and ended the season with a perfect 19-0 record - at least it looks that way in Nicaragua. The NFL donated 290 Patriots hats and an equal number of team jerseys trumpeting the slogans "Super Bowl Champions, 19-0" to impoverished children from two small communities in southern Nicaragua. Thursday's gifts could not change history - the Patriots lost the Feb. 3 game to the New York Giants 17-14 - but they made a lot of youngsters in the communities of San Gregorio and Buena Vista very happy, said Miriam Diaz, spokeswoman for the humanitarian organization World Vision, which arranged the donation with the NFL. "They (Patriots) lost, but the children won," Diaz said. The only "football" most of the children know is soccer, but they were very enthusiastic about the U.S. version of the game once the rules were explained to them, she said. "They were very happy to receive the hats and jerseys," Diaz said. "They said they did not expect such a surprise." Neither did the Patriots.

The City Council of Huntington, W. Va. voted on Monday to name a street in honor of longtime resident and beloved Patriot Troy Brown. A section of 16th Street Road will be renamed Troy Brown way. Though Brown was raised in South Carolina, he became a star at Marshall and has remained in West Virginia. He is active in several Huntington community organizations and will once again hold his football camp at Marshall in April.

The NFL today opened a 10-day auction for the headset Pats' coach Bill Belichick wore on the sidelines last season, including for Super Bowl XLII. New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin's headset is also available. Though they are the headsets both coaches wore throughout the season, the Motorola "batwing" logo was replaced on one side by the SB XLII logo for the game nearly two weeks ago. Proceeds from the sale will benefit NFL Charities. Other items available on the nflauction.nfl.com site include the Pro Bowl number 21 jerseys worn by Washington Redskins Chris Cooley, Chris Samuels and Ethan Albright in last weekend's game.

NEW YORK -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will meet tomorrow with U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter to discuss the Spygate case involving the New England Patriots. NFL officials say the afternoon meeting will take place in Specter's office. The Pennsylvania Republican has asked Goodell to explain his decision to destroy the tapes and notes from the case. Patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 and the team was fined $250,000. The Patriots also forfeited a first-round draft pick. -- The Associated Press
The Patriots' popularity -- or lack thereof, if you saw the Pro Bowl -- goes beyond ticket sales. The NFL released its list of the 20 best-selling player jerseys on nflshop.com for the 2007 season (April 1-Feb 8), and both Tom Brady and Randy Moss are in the top 10. 1. Tony Romo, Dallas Tomlinson's jersey was the top seller for last year.
The Patriots have announced the signing of free agent LB T.J. Slaughter. A 6-foot-1, 233 pound, seven-year veteran, Slaughter spent last year out of football. But he has played in 78 career games (32 starts) since Jacksonville drafted him out of Southern Mississippi in the third round in 2000. He has played with the Jaguars, Packers, Ravens, Saints and 49ers. Slaughter was a college teammate of Adalius Thomas.
