Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz salsa'd at the Grammys on Sunday night.

Cruz tweeted that his favorite part of the night was “Meeting the homie Drake.”

“Definitely that Grammy stage, man,” Cruz told Access Hollywood. “You don’t have a helmet on, you’re not running around, it’s just people starring at you wondering what you’re gonna do next. So it was definitely a great experience and I’d definitely do it again.”

Tweeted Manningham: “Never experienced anything like @thegrammys b4 in my life. Look at the pic of me and the legendary Stevie Wonder”

“What an amazing night!!”

Cruz and Manningham sat behind Adele, who ended up winning six Grammys.

As a matter of comparison, ESPN Analyst Damien Woody tweeted, "[the late] Whitney Houston won 6 Grammys in her career ...”

• ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter tweeted out a link to SI.com’s Peter King’s Monday Morning QB column.

There is a lot of good stuff in there about quarterback Eli Manning, and the progressions he has had to make during his career.

• Freak of nature defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul will not be appearing in TNA Wrestling on Monday night due to exhaustion, according to a FOXSports.com report.

    For Florida women's lacrosse, winning goal was waived off due to illegal stick depth with :09 left in OT. Then Syra scored in sudden death.
