Apparently the Super Bowl has already been determined.
Yesterday, Amazon listed a book entitled: "19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots."
Ignoring the overly-wordy title, I do understand that championship T-shirts are currently being printed for both the Giants and the Patriots, so they are ready to go as soon as a victor is determined. Those shirts that turn out to be false once the game is decided, are then - as I understand it based on a family friend in the business - sent to 3rd world countries. So, there's some kid in Africa wearing a 2007 Chicago Bears shirt and a 2007 Championship Colorado Rockies shirt, etc.
But books! Now, that costs a lot more to write and publish than printing a flimsy T-shirt.
Amazon has since removed the book listing from their site...I wonder if it was truly an error, as they claim, or simply a response to the backlash.
I think that if they wanted to be truly fair and balanced, for just a few hours, they should list a book entitled: "The 2008 Champion Giants: From Underdog to Top Dog in the League."

The book is already mostly written. If the Pats win the game, then they write the final chapter and sell it. If they lose, they write the last chapter, alter the title slightly and relist it.
Either way, the idea is to get the book to market *as quickly* as possible.

The game is obviously fixed... :)
