GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Giants
had the perfect answer for the sud-
denly imperfect Patriots: a big, bad
defense and an improbable come-
back led by their own Mr. Cool quar-
terback, Eli Manning.
In one of the biggest upsets in
Super Bowl history, New York shat-
tered New England’s unbeaten sea-
son 17-14 Sunday night as Manning
hit Plaxico Burress on a 13-yard
fade with 35 seconds left. It was the
Giants’ 11th straight victory on the
Harris County or Chambers County
tax office location by no later than
4:45 p.m.
Registration forms can also be
mailed so long as they are postmarked
by today. If anyone has not received
his or her card but is already regis-
tered, please call the Harris County tax
office voter registration department at

Today is the deadline for residents

road and the first time the Patriots
tasted defeat in more than a year.
It was the most bitter of losses,
too, because New England (18-1)
was one play from winning and get-
ting the ultimate revenge for being
penalized for illegally taping oppo-
nents’ defensive signals in the sea-
son-opener against the New York
Jets.
But its defense couldn’t stop a
final, frantic 12-play, 83-yard drive
that featured a spectacular leaping
catch by David Tyree, who had

As the Patriots and Giants pre-
pared to square off in an historic
Super Bowl, Baytonians made
their plans for what appeared to
be a mostly quiet series of cele-
brations, and local bars geared up
for one of their busiest nights of
the year.
But at churches around the city
and the HEB grocery store on
North Main, the Souper Bowl was
already under way. Donors filled
baskets and barrels with canned
goods, dry food and other nonper-
ishable items to give to the
Houston Food Bank and other
charities.
As shoppers loaded up their
baskets with frozen hot wings,
two-liter sodas, beer and chips,
many took a detour to the front of
HEB to deposit items for those
less fortunate, with little to cele-
brate on Super Sunday.
