If you like what Reggie Bush was wearing at Sunday's Super Bowl, get to your computer and get your credit card out.

You could buy it.

Bush plans to auction several of his game-worn Super Bowl items on eBay, with all proceeds going to Mercy Corps and their work aiding Haitians whose lives were devastated in the series of earthquakes there last month.

"The devastation in Haiti is stunning," Bush said, adding that he's trying to "do my part to help the people of Haiti."

Bush has also teamed with adidas to create a custom shoe, which will be available online through Thursday for $105 and proceeds of which also will be given to Mercy Corps for additional Haitian relief.

MAN OF THE YEAR: Commissioner Roger Goodell revealed that Brian Waters of the Kansas City Chiefs was this season's winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

The Man of the Year award has been issued by the NFL since 1970, then re-named in Payton's honor in 1999.

One player from each team is nominated for the award, which recognizes a player for his community service activities as well as his excellence on the field. A charitable donation of $25,000 will be made by the NFL in Waters' name.

London Fletcher of the Washington Redskins and Mike Furrey of the Cleveland Browns were the other finalists.

BART STARR AWARD: Newly retired Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is still winning awards. He picked up the NFL's Bart Starr Award this weekend, recognizing his leadership and work in the community.

Warner and his wife, Brenda, established the First Things First Foundation in 2001, working with sick children and single parents, plus sending care packages to military personnel serving overseas. The couple is also involved in other charities, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Special Olympics.

NFL players vote on the award, named after Starr, the Hall of Fame quarterback. This year's other finalists were Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

BAN ON THREE-POINT STANCE? A ban on the three-point stance? League commissioner Roger Goodell says it's possible.

Concerned about concussions, Goodell said the league will keep looking for ways to make the game safer. Speaking on CBS's "Face the Nation" hours before the Super Bowl, Goodell didn't rule out the idea of banning the three-point stance for linemen to reduce the ferocity of collisions at the line of scrimmage.

While science is still trying to determine the long-term effects of concussions, Goodell said, the league has made progress in increasing awareness about the severity of such injuries.

Goodell has met with NFL competition committee co-chair Rich McKay to begin evaluating possible rules changes.

HUH? Super Bowl viewers were rubbing their eyes over a TV spot pairing CBS late-night host David Letterman with longtime NBC rival Jay Leno, plus Oprah Winfrey.

Aired early in the game, the ad depicted Letterman and Leno glumly sharing a couch watching the Super Bowl, with Winfrey between them trying to make peace.

The spot revisits a promo from the 2007 Super Bowl with Letterman and Winfrey watching the big game.

In the new spot, Letterman grumbles, "This is the worst Super Bowl party ever."

Leno replies that Dave's "just saying that because I'm here."

The spot was secretly taped last week at New York City's Ed Sullivan Theatre, home of Letterman's "Late Show."

Next month, Leno returns to "The Tonight Show" as Letterman's rival.

DAUGHTRY BRINGS THE PEACE: They were on opposing sides, but Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints fans found something to bond over at the Super Bowl on Sunday -- a Daughtry concert.

Black and gold mixed with Colts blue as the rockers performed before the game for a select crowd. Lead singer Chris Daughtry of McLeansville joked that he was able to bring together a rowdy group.

He said: "There was a lot of segregation ... a lot of fights getting ready to break out."
