Ellis Hobbs, Channel Seven News
I can't fully do Ellis Hobbs justice in print, but we'll have the video later. The dude is a fireball of insanity. He had managed to get a hold of a local Boston affiliate's microphone, and punctuated every other sentence, no matter how mundane, by screaming, "ELLIS HOBBS, CHANNEL SEVEN NEWS" into the camera. A few highlights ...
On Lonnie Paxton: "I can only hope that I can feel what he feels someday. I live my life through him." (At that moment, he started a group hug)
On his record-setting field goal return: "I just pretended my mom was trying to get me ... Someday, I hope I can show to my grandkids, when they are wheeling me around in my wheelchair."
On fantasy football fans: "Leave me alone! I don't know what Tom's thinking! I don't know how his wrist is feeling! I'm not that kind of guy. I'm just a fish. I'm just a fish in a big pond. I'm just a pawn on the chessboard ... ELLIS HOBBS, CHANNEL 7 NEWS!"

Gregg, you're very fortunate to be there. Ellis Hobbs sounds like a cool guy.
One thing I just can't get over is (well I can in some ways) Plaxico and the prediction. I mean what's he going to say, uh we don't have a chance. Also one of the co-owners of the Giants is predicting a Giants win.
As an unbiased fairly objective fellow Pat's fan, I can't see the Patriots losing this game under perfect conditions. Without the wind and or rain I think Giants secondary gets exposed. They have a great pass rush but I think Bilicheck will figure something out. Tom's been there a few times before hasn't he? This defense isn't as good as Carolinas back in '04 and this Pat's offense is better. I can't see the Pat's putting up less then 34 points.

That's funny and get that video up as soon as possible. Those little fish in big ponds always seem to be the most interesting.
