- Giants Beat Patriots 17-14 to Win Super Bowl ★
-
Eli Manning and the entire Giants offense played like heroes in the fourth quarter. That shake-off-the-sack-and-throw-for-32-yards play was one of the best in Super Bowl history. True and worthy champions, and the Lombardi trophy stays where it belongs, in the NFC East.
To the Patriots and their fans: suck it. Most overrated team in NFL history.

John Siracusa on the Microsoft/Yahoo deal:
So which is worse? Is it more depressing to think that Microsoft, seemingly alone among industry observers, truly believes that there’s some legitimate “synergy” (ugh) here, or that it is consciously leveraging its bank account to crush a competitor? In one case, Microsoft looks hopelessly out of touch, or perhaps just so desperate that denial has set in. The other evokes the “evil” Microsoft from the bad-old days of the 1990s.

Sen. Arlen Specter — lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan — considers Senate hearings to investigate the NFL’s “you’ll just have to take our word regarding the Patriots’ illegal videotapes because we destroyed the evidence” decision.

I’m sure there’s an innocent explanation for this:
Matt Walsh, a former employee of the team’s video department and now a golf professional in Hawaii, said last week that he had never been contacted by the Patriots or the N.F.L. about his knowledge of the Patriots’ videotaping, although he has indicated he knows more than has been made public.
“If I ever got brought in for a deposition or something, then I would just face the whole gauntlet of questions,” Walsh said last week. “There would be things I’d be forced to answer that some people haven’t taken responsibility for.”
