...yard lob from Giants quarterback Eli Manning glided into the endzone into the hands of an awaiting Plaxico Burress, giving New York a 17-14 lead over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII with just 35 seconds left in the game, I jumped up and, after a quick high five with my roommate, I looked for one person: Tom Conley. The Kirkland House Master has been a die-hard Giants supporter since the team played its games in Yankee Stadium in the 1950s, and as a cacophony of sound waves both jubilant but mostly anguished crashed against...
...Hastily assembled in less than 30 hours on Super Bowl Sunday, the gathering drew 9,000 people. "I believe that change has already come, California.

Carrying out Belichick’s cunning plans are his very own Darth Vader (Tom Brady) and Boba Fett (Randy...
...York Giants jerseys, cupcakes, banners and balloons lay side-by-side. I realized that I was in one of a few strange, Twilight Zone-like patches in the world: a place where Boston and New York sports fans could co-exist in peace. Certainly, Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup lacks some of the Boston-New York bite to which sports fans have become so accustomed. What pushes this game past the level of usual Super Bowl hoopla is, of course, the Patriots’ potential place in history. As usual, sports fans seem to be rallying against...
