...Ravens and Giants don't enjoy a rivalry as storied as the Lakers and Celtics. (In fact, they've met just once in the regular season, a 24-23 Baltimore victory in 1997.) At least when teams from New York and Baltimore get together to decide pro football's champ, they make it count...
...revenue through every conceivable orifice. The first Survivor was an advertisers' bargain, with most ads sold in advance for far less than the ratings would have commanded. Now it's time to back up the money truck. S2 is reportedly getting more per ad than ER, the reigning revenue champ--all for a show that has never aired in the regular season. And as on the past Survivor, in which contestants quaffed Bud Light and used an Ericsson phone, there will be product placements from the likes of Reebok, Doritos and Target...

...Stars. The Hemingway wannabe who wet his pants when he got caught. The jughead who was nabbed twice in one day. Malette uses a wild-turkey decoy too, and had one cowboy go after it with a .357 Magnum. We're talking N.R.A. Dream Team. But the all-time champ was the Lions Club president who asked Malette to bring a decoy to their meeting. "They were laughing, and the president said, 'Who's going to take a shot at this thing?'" Three days later Malette had the decoy on a stakeout. Guy drives up, gets out with his rifle...
