Tom Brady versus the younger Manning. A rematch of the week 17 spectacle in the Meadowlands, in which the Pats needed a ferocious 2nd half comeback to stay unbeaten, and the game that allowed the Giants to believe in themselves. This Super Bowl will live up to the hype.

LaDainian Tomlinson, the All-Pro running back and the leading rusher in the NFL, was seated squarely on the bench, stoically staring at the field behind the visor of his helmet. Many people have wondered how it was possible that the best running back in the NFL could possibly sit out a game of this magnitude. Was he injured? Was he quitting on his team? Was he afraid of failure? Was he in awe of Tom Brady’s sexiness? Until now, we’ve only been able to speculate as to the reason why LT sat out for most of the AFC Title Game.

Would-be Olympians have breathed a huge sigh of relief following the IAAF’s ruling that double-amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius is ineligible for the Beijing Olympics because his prosthetics give him an unfair advantage. The International Association of Athletics Federations had found that the kinetic energy generated from spring-action of Pistorius’ “Cheetah” blade prosthetics, allowed him to expend less energy than able-bodied sprinters.
