Super Bowl Giants
Tonight the NY Giants proved that the best victories are completely unpredictable. What a victory in a truly memorable Super Bowl XLII. David Tyree deserves the MVP.
PS - Our favorite ad was the Coke Thanksgiving day parade battle.

Super Bowl media coverage...
Maybe it's because the Giants are in the Super Bowl but I've been paying a little more attention to the media coverage this year. With the Giants adopting the Patriots style of saying little (except for the quote by Plaxico) the media seem to be at a loss as to what to focus on. They tried Tom Brady's ankle, the Boston mayors parade request, Plaxico's prediction, Eli's inexperience, but nothing sensational is sticking, so far. It's hard to maintain the hype for 2 weeks when the only thing to report is the facts I guess.

What sells papers in New York...
If you exam the papers in and around New York, one story continually gets more coverage than anything else. From a purely business standpoint The Yankees are the story that sells papers in New York.

Yanks divided.
The players want to keep him (mostly) and management wants to move in a new direction. Or do they? For now Joe Torre's future with the NY Yankees is once again in limbo.
