New England was well represented at the Super Bowl, despite not having a team in the game. Patriots owner Bob Kraft walked the red carpet at Saturday’s 2d annual NFL Honors in New Orleans with his girlfriend, actress and model Ricki Noel Lander. Marshfield’s Steve Carell was also at the event to present the NFL.com Fantasy Player of the Year award to Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. New England sports fan and Medford native Maria Menounos spent Saturday partying with “Vampire Diaries” stars Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder at DirecTV’s Celebrity Beach Bowl at DTV SuperFan Stadium. Davio’s owner Steve DiFillippo was there to serve up 3,000 of his famous Philly spring rolls to celebs at the Taste of the NFL event. DiFillippo raised more than $24,000 for the Greater Boston Food Bank as part of the NFL’s Kick Hunger Challenge.
