Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri meets up with Eagles kicker David Akers during warmups. (AP)
Eagles QB McNabb is ready
and surprisingly, so is Terrell Owens (Eagles WR -- dude had TWO METAL SCREWS AND A PLATE put into his ankle six weeks ago). i don't know about you but he looks good to me...
the fans are ready (although i dunno what that has to do with an eagle...)
and Tedy Bruschi, Pats LB, has his own pregame routine down.
The Eagle's response? "Enough already....let's do this!"
For awhile, things didn't look so good
the boys were getting manhandled
and there were thoughts that this was to be the result.
fortunately, the tide turned. looks like Bruschi's pre-game routine worked for him, as he managed to sack Donovan McNabb
Corey Dillon (Pats RB) did his thing
as did Adam Vinatieri, who kicked what turned out to be the winning FG.
it got tense towards the end, as Eagles WR Greg Lewis made a phenomenal 30 yard reception to pull the Eagles within 3 with a minute to go.
but it was not to be. VICTORY!
Superbowl XXXIX CHAMPS!

Pats, Sox put Boston on top of sports world
By Greg GarberESPN.comOver the years, this pronounced perception has grown: New Englanders love to revel in the failure of their sports teams. In some quarters, there was a sneaking suspicion that they lived to lose.
As the Boston Bruins' flurry of the early 1970s faded and the Boston Celtics franchise slipped into the mediocrity of middle age in the 1990s, the half-filled glass seemed to become emptier. As the millennium approached, prospects seemed typically bleak. The last Bruins NHL championship came in 1972, 32 years ago. The Celtics were the NBA champs in 1986, representing an 18-year drought.
The Red Sox -- tantalizingly close in 1946, 1967, 1975 and 1986 -- could never quite close the deal in the World Series. The Patriots, who reached the Super Bowl at the end of the 1985 and 1996 seasons, followed the close-but-no-title-cigar protocol.New England sports fans, particularly those in Boston, met their fate with the stoicism and a stiff upper lip appropriate for their Calvinist forebears. This was, they had come to believe, the way it was meant to be. read on

While there's still nothing on Miss Info in the story, a little digging came up with this story from FMBQ, in which it says that:
Other members of the morning show crew -- Miss Jones, DJ Envy and Tasha Hightower -- have each been given two-week suspensions with their salaries being redirected to Give2Asia for the duration of their suspensions, which will end on Wednesday, February 9. Another member of the morning show, Miss Info, was not suspended.
