*Huge Game Tonight: Patriots Grasp Legendary Stature*
Sorry bout that,
1. But tonight is a game that will go down in history.
2. Whatever the outcome.
3. Will the Patriots get the win, and claim their, *Legendary Stature*?
4. Will Tom Brady break all known records, smashing the Giants?
5. Will Brian Gumbel turn into Howard Cosell?
6. Everyone that is a true sports fans will love to hate?
7. Can America afford another Cosell?
8. I think so, let Brian do what he must.
9. The game will be broadcast on several channels, so you can't claim you didn't have a chance to see *History* happen.
10. I am leaning towards the, *Patriots*, GO PATS!
11. Is this latest CWN post an effort to have all four topics with his famous *Green Arrows*?
12. *All This And A Bag Of Chips Right Here On DP!*
13. Read it thusly:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/29/sp...gewanted=print

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots’ pristine run through this National Football League season has drawn increasing scrutiny for two months, building to Saturday night’s regular-season finale against the Giants. Interest in the game, which could complete for the Patriots the first 16-0 regular season in N.F.L. history, has prompted an unprecedented national triplecast by television networks and a flurry of ticket scalping.
For the Patriots, however, the game presents contradictions.
With no playoff implications, it has only marginally more import than a midseason trip to Buffalo. Yet it is significant for posterity: Only three other N.F.L. teams have entered the postseason undefeated. Of them, only the 1972 Miami Dolphins are still remembered 35 years later because they won the Super Bowl. The others, the 1934 and 1942 Chicago Bears, lost in the league championship game and were largely forgotten.
If the Patriots defeat the Giants, then fall short of a championship, what will they have accomplished?
