Drew battery night) and under-appreciated classics (dude falls into Tie Domi's penalty box). But booing Sarah Palin? C'mon. How about the future mayor and governor betting people they can't hit the Cowgirls wit snowballs? Or, how diehards are still hang their self-worth on a coke-fueled 1986 championship? Oh wait, wrong town. [ New York Daily News]

"I think the crowds in here have been pretty good," Kraft said yesterday. "You know, I understand what Tommy [Brady] was saying as well. Maybe, if we want to be up by that much, it's OK by me, and people want to chill."
