The 8 O'Clock

by Mag Minions


Excuse the lateness; it's been a busy morning at the Mag Offices. For starters, the Giants parade is about to make its way through Manhattan, a smidge slower than the pass rush that made Tom Brady mortal, but a bit faster than Tom Coughlin's much-discussed change in personality that helped make the Giants into unlikely champions.

The parade date might have been chosen better, because it's also Super Tuesday—which means the G-G-G-G-Men (check out Carl's take above, in 'WATU') will be tying up traffic on a day when New York's delegates are up for grabs, among 3,156 nationwide. If you're more into partying than politics, move to Cali&mdsash;a bar in Santa Monica is letting you choose your candidate via ale. More trenchant political insight from The Mag above, in our Super Tuesday look-ahead.

Down in D.C., Roger Clemens, who understands the media cycle seemingly better than most, is testifying, meaning that no matter what he says, there's no chance he'll be above the fold in any newspaper come tomorrow.

It's also a day of disappointment in the Mag offices: Gisele (allegedly) promised to streak Times Square if the Giants pulled the perfect upset, but now her rep claims she never said that . As an aside, Mag Daily bloggers caught a glimpse of Bundchen this weekend in Arizona. We were honestly never huge fans before—Adriana Lima is where it's at (how is she dating Marko Jaric, by the way?) but in person, Gisele is stunning. If Tom's real reason for skipping Hawaii is QT with GB, there's absolutely no way to speak ill of that.

In other news, Deron Williams absolutely took Chris Paul to school last night in a battle of the next great point guards; Tara Reid was totally rooting for the Giants ; and Derek Jeter is straight with the feds on his tax issues , Glad that's all cleared up. Can't have Captain Clutch at odds with the feds. It would be downright un-American.
