The New York Giants stunned the New England Patriots once again with an improbable 24-20 victory yesterday in Foxborough as Eli Manning proved he's atleast in the conversation for elite NFL quarterbacks.
Tom Brady look confused by the Giants defense and spent a majority of the game on his back. Oh and the last person to wear #85 for the Giants before Jake Ballard(who caught a crucial pass to set up his own eventual game winning touchdown) was none other than David Tyree. Overall the game was all too familiar writes Dan Shaughnessy in todays Boston Globe. As one disgruntled fan pointed out yesterday at my local, Belichick needs to go. Harsh words for the Hoodie but lately New England seems like the football equivalent of the 1990's Atlanta Braves. All good things come to an end and I'm afraid this dynasty is on life support.
Don't Bogart that marijuana clinic writes Ethan Nadelmann in an op-ed piece for the New York Times as the Chicago Sun Times examines the suburban pot smoker. Closer to home, Maine medicinal marijuana providers held a trade show over the weekend in Augusta where properly documented patients were allowed to smoke pot in a special tent. Huddling inside a tent to smoke marijuana outside the Civic Center? Sounds like Augusta to me.
Ahead of a planned J Edgar Hoover film, we have this from LA Times where Richard Serrano writes Hoover lived in mortal fear of being outed as a homosexual. On that note we have the story of Roy and Silo, two gay chinstrap penguins, in this classic piece from National Geographic from 2004.
Good news for fans of hyper-literate rock as the Kinks Ray Davies is on tour and recently shared a few thoughts with Scott Mervis of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Speaking of hyper-literate rockers, here is an audio clip of Ryan Adams complaining to rock critic Jim Derogatis after a hilariously negative review. Classic stuff.
The sex scandal involving Penn State's former defensive coordinator Jerry Sanduskey is sick and horrible. To top it off he wrote a book a few years back that raises a few eyebrows given the events of the past few days.
