2 die at powerboating, including American

TAREE: Two men have been killed during weekend powerboat racing on the Manning River in northern New South Wales state, including an unnamed 44-year-old American.

Police would not officially identify either competitor until next of kin have been notified. The event was an annual Easter weekend of racing sponsored by the Taree Power Boat Club.

Calls to the secretary of the club by a US-based news agency were not immediately returned.

A statement from the New South Wales police media unit on Sunday said the American was ejected from his craft as it traveled at a speed of about 220 kph (135 mph).

Police said emergency services attended to the man at the scene and he was taken to Manning Base Hospital, where he died a short time later.

Ravens Vs Colts Score

Ravens Vs Colts Score, Playing keep-away from Peyton Manning is always a priority against the Indianapolis Colts.

Holding the football and a six-point lead at Indianapolis in November, Belichick kept the Patriots on the field for a fourth-and-2 at the New England 28 with just over 2 minutes remaining. The first-down try failed, and Manning quickly produced a touchdown and a 35-34 victory.

The Baltimore Ravens hope to avoid a similar situation Saturday night in their playoff game against the Colts. Their plan is to deprive Manning of the ball early enough so that it won’t matter if he gets it late.

Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has the personnel to make the plan work – especially against an Indianapolis defense that ranks 24th in the NFL against the run. In last week’s 33-14 rout of the Patriots, Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Le’Ron McClain helped Baltimore total 234 yards rushing in 52 attempts.

The yardage the Ravens gain on the ground will be significant, but time of possession is even more important against Manning and the Colts.

“My favorite thing is to look up at the clock and watch it go tick, tick, tick,” Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said. “You know what? I can’t be a real bad coach when I’m not out there calling defenses, right? So when Cam’s running the football, I’m the most excited guy there on that sideline.”

Rice should be getting plenty of touches in the first half. Baltimore won’t entirely abandon the passing game, but establishing a ground attack is clearly a top priority.

Eli Manning Wife

Eli Manning Wife: Giants quarterback Eli Manning wed his college sweetheart Abby McGrew during a beachfront ceremony at sunset Saturday.

About 60 loved ones flew to Mexico to join Manning and his bride for the intimate ceremony at the One & Only Palmilla, a swank resort along the Sea of Cortez on the Baja Peninsula.

Manning, 27, and McGrew, 24, exchanged vows while standing on a platform in the sand as waves crashed over rocks behind them.

The bride, carrying a bouquet of white roses, made her entrance through a wrought-iron gate and walked down the aisle to an altar covered in pink wildflowers.

McGrew looked splendid in a strapless white gown with gold embroidering and a large bow and short train in the back.

Her six bridesmaids wore simple champagne-colored strapless dresses.

Manning and his six groomsmen wore khaki suits with open collar white button-down shirts and white roses in their lapels. The groomsmen went tieless, but Manning wore a blue-and-white-striped tie.

Moments before the ceremony, Peyton, a quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, slung his arm around his brother and whispered words of encouragement in his ear.

Guests were ferried to the beach in golf carts and were served white wine, Veuve Cliquot champagne and sparkling water by white tuxedoed waiters as they filed into white folding chairs decorated with gold ribbons.

A trio – a guitarist, violinist and cellist – played the wedding march.

“Welcome to one of the most beautful weddings I have ever presided over,” the minister said, opening the ceremony.

The quarterback and his gal smiled and giggled throughout the 16 minute ceremony.

As the minister talked about joining the couple’s hands in marriage, he looked down at the Giant’s mitts. “These hands,” he quipped, “are quite large.”

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails beachside with appetizers and a full bar laid out on tables adorned with pink tablecloths and roses.

As the wedding party posed for pictures at the altar, McGrew fussed with Manning’s hair and kised him on the lips.

Some guests estimated the wedding cost Manning around $500,000, a modest sum compared to most celebrity weddings.

Hours before the ceremony, Manning worked out pre-wedding jitters, hitting the gym by 10 a.m., running furiously on the treadmill, lifting weights and doing push-ups for an hour and and a half.

During the rest of the day, the Super Bowl MVP and his bride stood by the old adage that the groom not see the bride the day of the wedding.

They split their crew into two groups, with McGrew sunning herself on the resort’s Vista Pool and Manning joining his brothers Peyton and Cooper and their pals at another pool across the grounds.

Manning wore an orange ballcap and sunglasses at his bride’s suggestion so he wouldn’t get more sunburned.

While the pals kept the beers flowing, Manning drank water and floated on an inner-tube in the middle of his friends.

And Peyton held court, telling jokes and stories about his baby brother from back home and his days at the University of Mississippi, while the crowd roared with laughter.

The guys finally left the pool around 4 p.m., about two hours before the wedding ceremony, after the wedding planner coaxed them out of the water.

As brides tend to do, McGrew had started getting ready much earlier, working on her hair and makeup regimen indoors with her bridesmaids around 2 p.m.

Manning’s parents, Archie and Olivia Manning, were overjoyed to see their youngest son get hitched.

Archie gave a heartfelt toast Friday night before a rehearsal dinner in front of the resort’s old Spanish Mission Chapel, getting tears in his eyes as he raised his glass.

Manning and McGrew met when they were students at Ole Miss. He proposed last March during a quiet date in Hoboken.

The couple is famously low-key and kept their wedding plans under wraps until just last week.

Wedding guests remarked all weekend about how relaxed Manning had made the celebration for all of them.

The bride and groom chose the ultra exclusive resort to celebrate their wedding after vacationing here several times.

They plan to spend another week honeymooning at the resort.
