A teaser/excerpts up at the the cosa nostradamus, for them as might be interested. It's the scene the artist used to create the cover, but shouldn't be spoilery.

And, for those of us who were cranky about missing the Giants/Pats game, the Universe is giving us a New Year's Eve present...

Patriots-Giants Game Now on NBC and CBS
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
The Patriots-Giants game, which was to be broadcast Saturday night to less than half the country by the NFL Network, will be available to the entire nation under an agreement reached Wednesday by NBC and CBS to simulcast it...

Until Wednesday’s deal, the Patriots-Giants game would have been available to the NFL Network’s 43 million satellite and cable subscribers. Another 10.8 million TV households in the New York-New Jersey and Boston-Manchester, N.H., markets were to get it free on local broadcast stations because they live within the teams’ designated home markets."

As a Giants fan, and a football fan in general, who lives smack dab in the middle of those two "designated home markets" I'm thrilled with this. And not just because it sticks it to the cable companies. Although that has a lot to do with it, yeah....

Now I have to decide if I want the Giants to win (yea!) or if I want to see history in the making and the Pats go undefeated...

Oh, do the right thing and root for the Pats. ;) The Giants should rest their starters for the playoffs, anyway.

I am very pleased by this news, as I was really not looking forward to following history in the making via ESPN Mobile GameCast. :P

Wow! just wow! I hope she is not going to go the way of her master.

I think I'm in the same spot.

Good to hear. Now if my Skins can just beat those darned Cowboys and give me a belated Christmas present, I'll be even happier.
