"I’ve noticed this about the [Eli Manning]. Football’s his job, and he likes it a lot. But let’s say God tapped him on the shoulder tomorrow and said, ‘I’ve got different plans for you. You’re going to be an architect.’ Manning would handle that pretty well. He is a sick competitor, but he’d figure a way to satisfy that part of his life. Golf with the other architects, Friday night poker, trying to be a better architect than anyone else out there. ‘He just doesn’t care,” Giants defensive lineman Justin Tuck said by his locker 90 minutes after the Super Bowl. ‘He doesn’t. If we lose the game today, life goes on. He’s fine. He’ll just start getting ready for next year. That’s who he is.’"

"Meg Murry, in short, was a departure from the typical “girls’ book” protagonist — as wonderful as many of those varied characters are. Meg was a heroine of science fiction."

Manning drove the Giants 83 yards for the winning touchdown in XLVI, 80 yards for the winning touchdown this year in the regular season, and 88 yards Sunday for the winning touchdown. In three straight games against the best coach of this era and against an all-time quarterback, Manning has taken the ball with less than four minutes to play, trailing every time. And won every time. (via Eli Manning, Mario Manningham make Super Bowl XLVI history with Giants win over Patriots - Peter King - SI.com)

"If the sport of football ever dies, it will die from the outside in. It won’t be undone by a labor lockout or a broken business model — football owners know how to make money. Instead, the death will start with those furthest from the paychecks, the unpaid high school athletes playing on Friday nights."

"The latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics tells us that in 2010 women in the age range 20 to 39 produced 88% of the four million children born in the US that year. Since the recession started, the total number of births has declined 7.3% from 4.3 million in 2007 to 4.0 million in 2010. If total births return to pre-recession levels over the next three years, it will only be because millions of millennials will feel financially secure enough to start a family."
