One Day to Go
I don't know about Boston, but this town is in the grip of Super Bowl fever; I'm not sure I've seen New York as excited about a sports event since the Yanks beat the Braves in the 1996 World Series. We were underdogs then and we're underdogs now...but then, as the Times points out, the Gints weren't even supposed to be close back in late December when they played the Pats and lost 38-35, and that game has completely inspired the team since.
Do the Giants stand a chance tomorrow? Well, none of the experts on HBO's "Inside Football" think so, and it's true that the Patriots are an incredibly good team.
But then, no one gave the 1980 U.S. hockey team a chance either......nor the rebels against Darth Vader and the Empire...nor humans against the Borg.
A typical Patriot fan?
In other words, the future of humanity depends upon a Giants win.... ¶ 4:14 PM

I think the odds are a bit better than in 1980, RB.
But I predict that pro-NE reffing will mar the game.

Incredible! Making excuses already!
Rich, no cheering for Arlen Specter putting the resources of the federal government toward making this world a fairer and more honorable place?
