The impeccable Neil Best of Newsday ran a brief item about the incident in his Watchdog column and then was later contacted by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. Here's what they said:

1. The vehicles shown in the stadium parking lot were damaged and/or totaled earlier in the day by a fire caused when the Porsche parked over coals from a tailgater.

2. The owners were notified during the game and our towing company was authorized to tow the vehicles out after the end of their parking lot duties. That occurred approximately 9 p.m.

3. The video is under investigation as to when this later vandalism could have occurred. Our security and/or State Police are on duty until 8 p.m. on game days.

4. We will continue the investigation and do everything possible to identify the vandals.

I'm not sure how influential the "New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority" actually is and whether they can levy fines or pass their information along to the police, but it can't be that hard to figure out who these people are. It's a shame, too, considering that one entrepreneurial webmaster actually took them up on their idea to start a site called Giants Failure. I wonder if Justin will turn himself in or if he's planning an elaborate getaway? The NJSEA should probably set up some roadblocks up and down the Jersey Turnpike to make sure this bat-wielding, windshield-diving menace does not hop a plane to Europe.

Now, obviously, these are a select group of drooling Big Blue fans and in no way reflect the majority of their fanbase ( I hope). Thankfully, it appears the vehicles being destroyed with bats, kicked, and vandalized were already in bad shape due to an unfortunate tailgate mishap earlier in the day, according to the comments in this NBC story. "Justin" and his merry pack of Jersey mooks make the most of the situation, though.

In the video below, Justin is joined by a few other individuals to help obliterate a Porsche. Points for the girl chucking the hibachi; no points for Justin's flailing windshield leap. Oh, and the guy half-assedly kicking the bumper should really be ashamed of himself for not taking full advantage of the weaponry available to him. "Give 'im the bat!"

Even though the Buzzsaw are apparently changing hearts, saving lives, they still have no shot according to most prognosticators. But what if the Arizona Cardinals do miraculously make their way to the NFC Championship game? If that happens, well, expect an Emeritus explosion all over the internet.

• "The Cardinals played well on defense while beating the Falcons in a first-round playoff game last weekend, highlighted by CB Antrel Rolle's fumble return for a touchdown. But Arizona ranked only 19th in the NFL in total defense during the regular season. That was only one spot behind the Panthers, however. . . . Carolina surrendered 381 passing yards to Warner when the Panthers beat the Cardinals in Week 8 of the regular season, but limited Arizona to 50 rushing yards, with only 20 of them from running backs." [WaPo]

•"I couldn't help but start this thread a little early as game day has finally arrived yet we still have to wait ALL DAY. For me tonights game is about making a statement that the Panthers are truly one of the best four teams in the NFL. If they win tonight then the rest is all gravy." [Cat Scratch Reader]

• "I’ve chronicled my thoughts this week about how the Cardinals continue to not gain any respect throughout the country. I won’t say much more on that subject. However, the only way the Cardinals are going to be able to erase doubters is to go and win. Playing them close will quiet some, but it won’t be enough. Now the Cardinals may come out and play their best and that won’t be enough either to win this game. Time will tell." [Raising Zona]

• "Stewart likes the “Double Trouble” moniker, though, because it treats the two as equals. “It's more focused on unity than anything,” Stewart said. “Whether DeAngelo or me is in, the defense has trouble on its hands.” [Charlotte Observer]

• "Few beyond the team, its rabid fans, lovers of the red crested finch and Vatican-philes expect this team to win. The skepticism is well founded but history has demonstrated Dewey doesn't always beat Truman and predictions mean zilch when the unexpected interferes. An inspired defense, a nervous kicker or a surprising weather pattern can change everything." [Arizona Republic]

• "Many experts think that this matchup will turn into a lopsided affair in Carolina's favor, but the game will be much closer than anticipated. The Panthers had a tough time slowing the Cardinals down during the first meeting, and Whisenhunt may opt to use the no-huddle earlier to get his team into a flow early. However, the Panthers' defense will eventually force Warner into costly mistakes, and the power running game will eventually wear down the Cardinals in the second half. Look for the Panthers to pull away late. Panthers win 31-21." [SI]
