    New York tabloids run identical front pages after Giants’ Super Bowl win

    By Chris Chase | Shutdown Corner – Mon, Feb 6, 2012 10:51 AM EST

    A Photoshopped image of Eli Manning dressed as one of those guys from "300," and the bottom of the shot littered with the fallen Patriots he vanquished. At least an inset of Bill Belichick looking sad or Tom Brady crying on Gisele's shoulder.

    But no, the tabloids played it safe, both going with a picture of Eli Manning upwardly looking at the Vince Lombardi Trophy he was holding in his right hand and the headline "CHAMPS!" At least the Daily News had the decency to add "...AGAIN" to the bottom of its front page.

    Though they played it straight on the front, in keeping with their usual tone, the back pages of both newspapers speculated about the job security of Tom Coughlin.

      Honest to God -- "IDENTICAL front pages?" Different size pic, different captions, differently proportioned. Yet identical? -- just because it's the same shot? Someone needs to go back to school and learn the meaning of words.

      If you look closely, it's 2 different pictures. Check out the confetti next to eli's head. Strangely enough both newspapers decided to post a picture of the MVP holding the trophy. I think I see your point. wait, no I dont.

      I don't usually follow this guy-he doesn't get paid for this right? If he does he must have pictures of someone at Yahoo.

      Chris Chase is the most pathetic writer in history, as bad as Yahoo articles are, he still isn't even good enough!

      Once again I ask...who is this Chase person and why does ANYONE (with the possible exception of his mother) care what he has to say?

      Oh Chris Chase, your inability to write a well-written and thoughtful article will always inspire others. Because no matter how talent-less they may be, somewhere out there, you still have a job writing. And no speech can ever bring hope to others, like the thought of a conceited, arrogant and prickish second grader writing about sports for Yahoo can.

      Maybe the pic of Queen Elizabeth and the one of Obama's grandma are identical too?

      You state that Manning is holding the trophy in his "left" hand. You need to go back to basics as the picture clearly shows he is holding the prize in his right arm.

      BREAKING NEWS !!! A Picture in the news may have photoshopped "Full Story at 11pm" President Obama is passing legislation to prevent this in the future (except for him) Chris Chase is a loser. He must have naked pictures of his boss with a hooker, that would be the only way he has a job, no really!!!
