Patriots Receivers are Meccano Magic
They keep a low profile, they don't have catchy nicknames and they are all...well..kind of small...Yet they are probably the most efficient receiving 'unit' as any in the league. While some Philadelphia fans lay their Super Bowl dreams on Terell Owens, the Patriots have four sure-handed receivers that can destroy opposing defenses. If one goes down the other slots in to fill in the gaps...just like a kid finding the right piece for his Meccano Set...
Mickey Mouse Says No to Breasts
The loss of family-friendly Disney's promotion of Super Bowl - comes just as the NFL is trying to clean up the Bowl's image after Janet Jackson's breast-exposing incident last year. The NFL is keeping a tight reign on costumes, songs and dances during the game...Bring back Abba!
Philadelphia Eagles are uncertain if they'll get receiver Terrell Owens back for Super Bowl XXXIX in two weeks time. Chad Lewis has also hurt his foot. Surgery on that foot will keep him out of the big game.
Patriots on Cruise Control
The Patriots are something special. This team is totally underhyped, they have no stars and no individual is bigger than the coach, let alone the team. The Pats are as disciplined as the Spartans and go about their business with clinical execution. Word has it that no one in the team even wears their Superbowl rings from last year...last year was last year...this year they have nothing until they win the Bowl again. The matchup against Pittsburgh was billed as the toughest game of the season - in the end New England went through Pittsburgh like a Samurai sword through butter...it was no contest...and it is unlikely that the final against Phiadelphia will be either...
