In 1934 the Chicago Bears went 13-0 in the regular season. They lost the NFL Championship to the New York Giants 30 to 13. One can bet that the Giants are looking to repeat history in 2007.

In the history of the NFL there have been 4 undefeated regular seasons. 2 of 3 undefeated teams went on to the championship game to lose (Chicago 13-0 in 1934 lost, Chicago 11-0 in 1942 lost). One team won the championship game - the 1972 Miami Dolphins (14-0) went on to win two post season games and Super Bowl VII 14-7 over the Washington Redskins.

So what will happen on Sunday when the 18-0 New England Patriots go up against the New York Giants?

Well, Novak Djokovic really put a dent into Roger Federer’s plans for continued world domination in tennis.

He was the crowd favorite at the US Open, where fans couldn’t get enough of his hilarious impersonations.

The bristle-haired Novak Djokovic defeated Muhammad Ali-lookalike Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(2) in the final on Sunday night at the Australian Open, ending the streak of 11 straight Slams won by either Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. ADHEREL Tsonga hit an amazing sequence of shots to steal the first set, but Djokovic settled down after tournament [...]

It wasn’t her best match of the tournament, in fact it may have been her worst. That’s a pretty scary thought considering Maria Sharapova didn’t lose a set in beating the new world No. 2 Ana Ivanovic in Saturday’s final.
