| Chat LIVE from Super Bowl XLII!
Josh (Asheville, NC): Buzz, here is the ultimate Super Bowl question: are the women hotter there in Arizona for Super Bowl XLII or were they hotter in Miami for Super Bowl XLI? Thanks. Buzzmaster: That's unfair, because everything is so spread out out here. Everything was concentrated into a couple of areas in Miami, so it was easier to notice. Jimmy (Cleveland): Looking back, what Brady did last season with awful WR's is almost as impressive as what he did this year. Chad (Savannah, GA): RGR is like that crazy astronaut. He is diapering it. Buzzmaster: It's also 100/1 Michael Jackson will sing a duet with Tom Petty. 5/1 Tom Petty will French kiss a fan. And 25/1 Tom Petty smokes a joint during half time show. Lady Buzz (Bristol, CT): Good safe answer sweetie. Joe (Huntsville,AL): You know what the best part of this year's Super Bowl location is? Will Smith never wrote a song about it.

P.S.: I again suggest that the line-of-least resistance Plan B for saving the NYT is to kick Pinch upstairs and make Rattner the actual full-time CEO. ... 11:29 P.M. ___________________________ Saturday, August 11, 2007 In case you missed it, GM's coming next-generation hybrid technology may have some advantages over the hybrid battery Toyota is planning.
