| Giants take hard road to SB XLII
So in a weird kind of way, it seemed fitting that the Giants gained just 5 yards on three plays and had to call again upon Tynes, who had missed a 36-yarder at the end of regulation. His 47-yard field goal sailed true, and Tynes raced off the field as if he couldn't get to Glendale for Super Bowl XLII fast enough. "I just wanted to get out of the cold," he said. When asked about the final minutes of regulation and overtime, a wry smile crossed Manning's face. "I think we like to make things exciting on this team, and it's another example," Manning said after the Giants 23-20 victory. "We don't like to win the easy way on a short field goal. We like to hit the long one to win it." The Giants took an improbable path to Super Bowl XLII. If the Patriots (18-0) took the interstate, the Giants took a few Forest Service roads.

Is Your Child’s Car Seat a Death Trap?
The Consumer Product Safety Commission keeps a list of recalls online, so you can check to find out if the car seat your child uses, or the one you plan to buy, is known to be defective. Some recalls simply involve replacing a defective part, while others mean replacing the entire unit. Common car seat defects and failures include:
• Buckle failure
• Harness failure
• Shoulder straps which come loose or unclip during an accident
• Area where the seat belt attaches to the car seat breaks or bends, allowing the seat to launch
• Separation of seat from base, allowing the seat to launch
• Inadequate support allows child to slip down in car seat during accident
• Poor shell design
• Padding inadequate to provide protection from injury Installation
More than 80% of car seats are improperly installed because the instruction manuals are too complicated or unclear.

Are the Rangers a dangerous team because they’re flying so ...
But this is a Hall of Fame-sized mess even for a Hall of Fame guy to clean up. Which once-troubled Rangers newcomer will have the bigger year: Milton Bradley or Josh Hamilton? NEW DAWG: Nice one, Ray. Gloom-and-doom question. I have no clue, so Ill go with Bradley. Hes on a one-year deal. Guys on one-year deals always play tough because they want a new contract. BUCK: Give me the guy whose journey from the depths has been the longest: Josh Hamilton. This guy should be out of baseball, or worse, but hes made it back, and so Im banking on that kind of inner-strength and conviction. Hopefully for the Rangers sake Bradley can have a big year, too. Are we so bored with the regular-season Mavs that we expect a trade even when one may not help the team? NEW DAWG: Yes, we are.
