...face of it, the Oxnard shooting is another tragic case of a gun-toting kid with inappropriate access to a deadly weapon. But this incident has implications beyond gun control laws (California’s are some of the nation’s strongest).

...another one with a chip on their shoulder and nothing to lose.It is true that, for the Giants to achieve the upset of all upsets, a lot of “maybes” have to swing in their direction.Maybe the thunder and lightning running back combo of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw will wear out the experienced but aging linebacker corps of the Patriots.Maybe New York’s fearsome defensive front, led by sack machines Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, will penetrate New England’s imposing offensive line and make life difficult for Brady...
