This Just In...

I was as surprised as anyone to watch the Giants beat the Pats on Sunday.  I take that back, apparently I wasn't as surprised as these folks:

 

I doubt I lost as much money as they probably did.  Hell, I'd buy a copy of this book just to have it as a collector's item.  Do you think they have any lying around in a warehouse somewhere?  "Sports Publishing", are you reading this?

Truman would be proud to see history repeating itself:

 

Of course that's not entirely fair since the Chicago Daily Tribune didn't cover their rear end with a disclaimer like "To be published only in the event of a win."  What a way to start the day :)

FOLLOW-UP:  It looks like the publisher has replaced this initial publication with a new "Giants World Champions" book sometime between last night and this morning at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/102-7534258-3982567?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=19+-+0.

ONE MORE TIME: Apparently you can still purchase the title "New England Patriots: 2008 Super Bowl Champions" on Amazon, at http://www.amazon.com/New-England-Patriots-Super-Champions/dp/1596703067/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202366284&sr=1-1. Surely not as good a read as "19 - 0", and the title's not as catchy, but I think I need one for my bookshelf.
