...same star treatment will be given to the New England Patriots' Bill Belichick and the Carolina Panthers' John Fox during Sunday's Super Bowl XXXVIII, in Houston. Fox may try to mute the two coaches' importance--"He and I aren't going to play a single snap"--but he can hardly be modest about his achievement since taking the Panthers' reins early in 2002.

...make fateful decisions during the coming weeks (no, I?m not talking about the Democratic Primaries, but whether to mute the ads or the game during the Super Bowl), we might take a moment to ponder the ways in which football really is America?s game.

As those who have heard it debut on the road know, there will be no sophomore slump for the Liars, and their concerts are among the most engaging and raucous in the rock underground today. The Boston show last week was no exception...
Ziegler has spent the last few months working with literary agent Esmond Harmsworth on three drafts of a first novel. She says she based its plot —which centers around the disappearance of its narrator’s mute sister—on a real-life murder trial in her home state...
