| Peyton thinks Giants can contend every year
In those four games, Eli threw eight touchdown passes and one interception. "As his brother, obviously I am proud," Peyton said. "But as a quarterback, I just can't tell you how much I appreciate the way he played in those conditions in Green Bay and just coming back from deficits the same way in Dallas and in Tampa." El has had his ups and downs in his four years in the league. His brother thinks the experience as a starter the past three years and his ability to stay calm under pressure has bolstered his game. As for sheer talent, Peyton said Eli has it all. He can throw deep and move in the pocket better than most think. Next up are the Patriots (18-0) and their drive to perfection. The only advice Peyton gave his brother was to stick to his daily routine. "This is obviously the biggest game that he has ever played in," Peyton said.
Sask. woman wins legal battle against drug dealer
A Saskatchewan woman who says she nearly died from an overdose of crystal meth is claiming a legal victory over the man she claims sold her the street drug. Sandra Bergen was suing Clinton Davey, but earlier this month a Saskatoon judge struck down his statement of defence after he failed to answer questions in a legal proceeding. That means Davey is not in a position to dispute liability and the case will go back to court to determine damages, Bergen's lawyer Stuart Busse said. Bergen says her win may be by default, but she'll take it. "He can't go to court now and say 'I'm not responsible,'" she said Tuesday. Bergen said after she overdosed on the drug in May 2004, she nearly died of a heart attack. Then 19 years old, she spent 11 days in a coma and was left with a number of long-term physical ailments.
Gilchrist a keeper who set the benchmark
Cricket all-time World XI usually requires some discussion. That is the object of the exercise. But for the past few years there has been no more of a question about the All-time World Test wicketkeeper than there has been about the No 3 batsman. Gilchrist bows out as Aussies hit backScoreboard: West Indies v Australia Nick Hoult: Cricketing cousins in the USA Adam Gilchrist has been as far above all other rivals as Sir Donald Bradman himself. He has been a very good wicketkeeper and the greatest hitter the game has ever seen. If you needed somebody to hit the next ball for six to save your life, whether a pace bowler or spinner was to bowl it, Gilchrist would be the automatic choice: he is, after all, the only man to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket. .
