Photograph of kicker Lawrence Tynes after the game-winning field goal by David J. Phillip/AP The Giants won the NFC Championship in overtime, beating the Green Bay Packers 23-20 in overtime and overcome the frigid, below-zero conditions. They are now headed to the Super Bowl where they will meet the New England Patriots, who beat the San Diego Chargers 21-12. Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes missed a field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter,......

Usually, if you want to see Brian Posehn you need to wait for a repeat of Just Shoot Me, Mr. Show, or The Sarah Silverman Program to come on, but on April 19th through 22nd you can head on over to Caroline's to get your Posehn fix. Gothamist decided to do a quick Q and A with Brian to find out what this comedy super star thinks of some of life's biggest issues, like religion,......

The seats in Giants Stadium, particularly, when the Jets are looking better than Big Blue. At 10-4 after a great all-around effort in a 37-14 win over the visiting Seattle Seahawks yesterday, we would think the Jets can relax as they coast into the AFC playoffs, right? Not so fast. In order to clinch an iron-clad spot in the postseason, they must defeat AFC East rival New England next weekend at home (4 p.m., TV:......

We at Gothamist couldn’t be more confused about the Giants. After starting the season 4-1 they lost a brutal home-game to the Lions that we thought they would easily win. Now the Giants travel to the Metrodome to take on the 5-1 Vikings and their quarterback Daunte Culpepper, who is making fantasy football owners across the nation vastly over-stimulated. With Amani Toomer injured and unlikely to play, we feel that this is going to be......

So what have we at Gothamist learned this week? Other than the red head from Sex in the City has a girlfriend? First off, we know the Browns are banged up, with Kellen Winslow and Courtney Brown not playing, but the big story is � drumroll please � the Giants offense stinks. Seven turnovers should certainly get you more than 20 points, but we know that wasn't the case against the Skins. Now the troops......

We at Gothamist admit that we took the Redskins in the pool this week and spent the last week ripping the Giants after their shellacking at the hands of Philadelphia. We also admit to booing after the Redskins scored an easy touchdown in the first quarter this Sunday and the Giants looked typically pedestrian on offense. But you know what? The Giants responded. As all Giants fans know, defense sets the tone and the defense......

Although negotiations can't officially begin until 4 PM this afternoon, numerous sources have revealed that former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner will be in a Giants uniform very soon, possibly as early as today. "He's got a real good feeling for the Giants," Warner's agent, Mark Bartelstein, said. "That's really all I can say right now." Warner, a two time MVP in St. Louis, was released yesterday as the NFL's salary cap cutting season......

IBM will be rolling out a "smart shopping cart" that will help give suggestions and as well as alert shoppers to discounts. Users will just swipe a card through the cart's reader, which may eventually interact with shelves, so customers will see "an ad chicken soup as the person heads down the soup aisle." That's very HAL from 2001 meets Minority Report. But as this is Big Blue's effort to help grocery stores remain competitive......

I've been thinking a lot about spam this week. I've decided to hit the unsubscribe link on every piece of spam I get in order to see if I end up getting more or less messages per day over the next four weeks. I have a feeling most of the unsubscribe scripts just place your email on a list to get "anti-spam" technology and such, but it's fun to see what happens. I've realized how......
