INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The 2012 Super Bowl is coming to Indianapolis. NFL owners voted Tuesday in Atlanta to award the game to Indianapolis, picking the city over Houston and Arizona. Indianapolis narrowly lost out to Dallas last year in its bid for the 2011 game. Colts owner Jim Irsay said he believed the city would go a great job hosting the NFL's biggest event. ``We can't wait to get to 2012,'' Irsay said. ``It was tough not getting it done last year, but it's all worth it right now.''

Three times this season the Carmel softball team has knocked off a No. 1 ranked team. The Greyhounds have a knack for upsets but they won’t get that opportunity this week in the Class 4A sectional at Noblesville. Carmel will be the favorite to get out of a loaded field. “You have to put the favorite tag on Carmel with the streak they’re on,” said HSE’s David Cook, the coach of the 4A defending state champion Royals. “But a lot of teams could win it.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It was a matchup NASCAR could only dream of: Melanie Troxel and Ashley Force going head-to-head in the first all-female Funny Car elimination round. Troxel won the round, made it to the finals and ultimately claimed the title Sunday at Thunder Valley Nationals — making her the first woman in NHRA history to win in both its nitro classes. Troxel downplayed the significance of her matchup with Force, trying hard to remove gender from the historic moment. “Everybody wants to make a big story about Ashley and I running against each other,”

Noblesville, Westfield, Fishers and Zionsville certainly won’t agree, but wouldn’t it be nice for Carmel and Hamilton Southeastern to advance to Friday’s championship game of the Class 4A softball sectional being played at Noblesville? Head to head, No. 2 Carmel going against No. 9 Hamilton Southeastern. If that happens, fans will pack the park. Lots of things first must happen for a Carmel-Southeastern showdown to happen. Carmel will have to handle first-round foe Fishers and then get past a very good Noblesville team, if the Millers defeat Westfield. Hamilton Southeastern will have to defeat Zionsville in the

The Blackhawks managed just four hits, including two by Aaron Schwarz.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tony Parker swished a crucial jumper with 50 seconds on the clock. Manu Ginobili followed with four key free throws, essentially booking the San Antonio Spurs a date in the Western Conference finals.

It’s the Spurs and their championship ring-laden trio of Tim Duncan, Ginobili and Parker who’ll be traveling to Los Angeles to face the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday

AP - If someone had pulled me away from "GoldenEye 007" in the late 1990s to tell me that I'd one day be using my video game system to get in shape, I would have likely drawn James Bond's Golden Gun and shot a hole in that cockamamie theory.
