Have heard multiple references to the Giants "leading late in the 4th quarter" in Week 17. Pats took the lead for keeps with over 11 minutes to play.
Sal Pal mentioned that Brady was "clearly favoring his right foot" as he walked to his presser tonite. I was watching the video as he was speaking and it looked perfectly normal to me.
Clayton has an article on espn.com about the Giants CBs. In a pretty positive article, he spits this out:
The Giants gave up 24 TD passes, 47 passes of 20+ yards and 11 passes of 40+ yards. Even D1ck Cheney considers that abuse...especially for a team with an offense that plays in the 20's.
I could go into others (shutting down Moss, Giants road win streak, Eli is a grown-up now, etc.) but you get the idea. Media is so fired up about the storylines that reporters are making stuff up or not even trying to dig up any useful information. They already have the headlines they want...why let facts and insight muddy the waters? I don't mind poor reporting per se, but lazy reporting just bugs me.

By spreading the playing time to five cornerbacks, none of the Giants' corners has been abused. Madison, despite being 33, was beaten for only one touchdown this season. Webster was beaten for only 11 completions during the regular season, but he only started three games. Ross had nine regular-season starts and was beaten for seven touchdown passes, but he improved as the season progressed.
