The N.Y. Giants did the Super Bowl victory parade thing today with 50 tons of confetti littering the streets of New York. It began at the tip of lower Manhattan in Battery Park and proceeded north on Broadway, going past the financial district and the site of the […]

It wasn’t supposed to end this way. The New England Patriots had run off an incredible 18 straight wins against no defeats to find themselves in Super Bowl XLII with a chance to make history and become world champions in the process. Yet in one fell swoop, they […]
