Flacco, Ravens Superbowl?

The best two teams in the AFC will play for a berth to the Super Bowl on Sunday, as the top-seeded Patriots welcome the second-seeded Ravens to Gillette Stadium.

The Ravens are looking to get back to the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history, and for the first time in over a decade. They are coming off a win over the Houston Texans. The Patriots had one of the most impressive playoff performances last week, beating the Broncos 45-10. The game was never close. The Ravens defense is the Key to a Ravens victory.  Tom Brady will have find a way to get the ball into the endzone, even if his tight ends are taken out of the equation.

Ravens 17 – Pats 14

Chinese Bus Service’s

With a bad economy and all, Is it really worth the money to travel cheaper then safe? Or is it just pressure from the big bus companies to side wipe these buses off the roads. It’s almost a rite of passage to take at least one spin on the various bus lines. The main reason that Chinatown lines can keep prices so low, unlike other bus lines with dedicated depots, they have very litte overhead cost.  But checking a bus line’s safety record can be problematic. Apex Bus is not listed in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration database. Neither is NYCityBus. Rider beware.
