...time in which reality TV is all the rage, it's appropriate that television's most-watched event - the Super Bowl, not that "Jerry Springer" with palm trees, "Temptation Island" - is highlighted by players whose careers have eluded the shelter from real life that's customarily granted to wealthy pro athletes (see chart below...

The accuracy of recounts by hand as opposed to by machine may seem to be a simple comparison, but in November, hand counts were apparently good enough for Texas but unacceptable in Florida...
