Will perfection or Cinderella prevail in Super Bowl?
The Giants made the NFC playoffs as a wild card with a 10-6 record. They have been nearly perfect in one aspect. They have won 10 straight road games -- seven in the regular season and three in the playoffs -- after losing their opener on the road to Dallas. The Giants have won two Super Bowls -- in the 1986 and 1990 seasons. The 2000 team lost to Baltimore in the Super Bowl. The Patriots are 12 1/2 -point favorites over the Giants, a team they beat, 38-35, in the last game of the regular season. The Patriots walked in the Giants' shoes in the 2001 season, when they won the first of their three Super Bowls. The Patriots were 14-point underdogs to the St. Louis Rams, who beat Tennessee in the Super Bowl in the 1999 season. When the Patriots got the ball deep in their territory late in regulation time, it looked like they would play it safe and hope to win in overtime.
Would I Lie to a Robot?
Undernews Alert--The Barrett Report's redacted pages? Clinton skeptics were disappointed when special counsel David Barrett's report didn't prove rampant Clintonian abuse of the IRS. (See here, search for "Kohoutek"). But some 120 pages of the report had been redacted. Did John Kerry endorse Obama rather than Clinton because he's seen what's in them?

Questions: 1) If Hillary comes in third in South Carolina, will Time's Mark Halperin still insist it was a stroke of genius for her to have "[f]orced Obama to spend an entire week in South Carolina while H.
Wales' line-out key to possible England win
On the wings, why not pick a wild card in Lesley Vainikolo? He has weaknesses but is doing well with Gloucester, and England have never had that type of power winger. With just one position at least, Ashton could show his virility. www.telegraph.co.uk/moore Have your say .
Reader comments: Don't vote for socialism
For those of you who continue on a daily basis to throw out the police, fire dept etc as the reason to take this country into complete socialism don't understand the concept of socialism. Maybe a voucher for you to go back to school would help you understand it better or a one-way ticket to Cuba, North Korea, Europe or many other Socialist states to get a better understanding.
For those who have never read the Constitution, it doesn't guarantee a fair playing field, but it does guarantee the government to provide for the defense of the country.
As for the daily dribble from ETBass, the requirement to have checks go to those who don't pay taxes came from Chuck Schumer. Please get your facts straight before you make silly comments.
There are so many falsehoods presented as facts on these pages; mainly by the Rush haters.
