1Thousands of workers who re-ly on the ferry system to shipthem to and from their jobsevery day are rallying againstthe MBTA’s proposal to anchorall boat transportation.

For Elianna Nuzum, wholives in the Charlestown NavyYard, eliminating the ferry shetakes regularly would be dev-astating.

“I would have very limitedpublic transit options,” saidNuzum, who moved to theNavy Yard because it was easi-er to get to her job in the Fi-nancial District via boat.

Nuzum said she could takethe 93 bus that runs throughher area, but it’s usually jam-packed. “It is often overflow-ing … [and] cannot pick up ad-ditional passengers,” she said.

A problem that will onlyget worse if all the former fer-ry riders have to rely on thatbus, said Nuzum.

Much like Charlestown res-idents, people outside Bostonwho rely on ferry serviceshave been fighting the pro-posed cuts.

In Hull, riders started awebsite called “SavetheFer-ry.com,” and have been col-lecting signatures for a peti-tion. Commuters from bothHull and Hingham would havea significantly less direct routeto work if the ferry serviceswere eliminated. And if ridersdare return to their car, thecommuting time would nearlydouble.

“The Hingham and Hullcommuter boats are a critical-ly important mode of trans-portation,” State Rep. GarrettBradley recently said in astatement. “To eliminate thisservice would severely impactindividuals.”

T officials have said the po-tential cuts, which woulddock all ferry services, are just“a proposal.”

Nothing is set in stone, ac-cording to Joe Pesaturo, a Tspokesman.

“It’s important to note thatthe users of commuter boatshave alternative public transitmodes available to them,” Pe-saturo said in an e-mail.

An interesting thing happenedthis week: By responding posi-tively to Wednesday’s anti-SOPA/PIPA Internet blackouts,Republican lawmakers actuallymade Democrats look like theones grossly out of touch withmainstream opinion.

The protests — led by suchWeb behemoths as Google,Wikipedia and Reddit and sup-ported by millions of avid ‘netsurfers — represented an al-

most unheard-of effort on thepart of “real Americans.” Ac-cording to Google, whose web-site Wednesday sported a cen-sored doodle and directed visi-tors to a petition aimed at Con-gress, 4.5 million people signedto protest legalizing permanentchanges to the Internet.

And as the people spoke, atleast one party listened. Drovesof Republicans retracted sup-port for the bills. Sen. Rand Paulpromised a filibuster. Tea Partyfavorite Sen. Jim DeMint spokeout against the proposals’ dan-ger. Even House Speaker (andperpetual stick-in-the-mud)John Boehner ceded the bills’“lack of consensus.”

On the other side, stalwartdefenders of Mickey Mouse in-clude the predictable cadre ofHollywood beneficiaries. In the

Senate, according to Propublicadata, the top six recipients ofstudio donations in 2010 are allDemocrats supporting PIPA —like California’s Barbara Boxer,who claims $571,600 in cam-paign funds from copyrightcrusaders for that year alone.

These six senators became$2,640,555 richer in 2010thanks to the music and enter-tainment industry. For Democ-rats, those millions apparentlyspeak louder than millions ofAmerican voices.

To be fair, a few Democratshave stopped supporting thecontroversial bills. But as theentertainment industry threat-ens President Obama with re-duced support, we wouldn’t ex-pect many others to follow suit.

The story of the TuskegeeAirmen was one that al-most didn’t get told.The crew of African-

American fighter pilots inWorld War II had been giventhe television movie treatmentby HBO in 1995, but directorGeorge Lucas spent nearly 25years trying to get a major fea-ture made. By funding the filmhimself, Lucas was finally ableto produce the movie he’d al-ways dreamed of making. Oneof the original Tuskegee Air-men, 89-year-old RoscoeBrown, notes the importanceof that project: “Red Tails.”

“Young people don’t know

about segregation,” Brownsays. “When I give speechesand tell young people that I ap-plied to be a pilot at EasternAirlines and that the staffingmanager told me to my face,‘we don’t hire negroes here,’ itcauses them to just gasp be-cause that would never hap-pen today. And the reason itwouldn’t happen today is be-cause folks like us and HarryTruman and Franklin Roo-sevelt changed the world, so Ilike to see it as a world-chang-ing experience.”

One of the stars of the film,R&B singer Ne-Yo, notes thatthe airmen, who broke color

barriers by engaging in directcombat with the Germans,rather than only assisting ontertiary flight missions, tookon the unwieldy tasks at an ex-traordinarily young age — be-tween 17 and 25.

“If you didn’t know andyou were told about what theTuskegee Airmen accom-plished, you’d instantly thinkthese were men who’d livedlives, had families, in their up-per 30s, 40s,” he says. “Theamazingness of these individu-als — it wasn’t about how oldthey were. It was about, ‘we’vegot a job to do and we’re goingto get it done.’”

Their story so affected CubaGooding Jr., who appeared inthe HBO film on the subject,that the actor fought to be apart of this project as well.

“They’re not telling thesestories very much in Holly-wood,” Gooding Jr. says. “Thiswas the first time I’d read ascript where these men em-powered themselves. I loved‘Glory,’ but they didn’t needMatthew Broderick‘s [charac-ter] in this movie. They did iton their own. These are blackmen, doing for themselves.”

GIVING THE RED TAILS A CHANCE TO

SOARBack in time

The actors who portray thetight-knit Red Tails crew got awallop of authenticity by liv-ing in a training camp for sev-eral weeks before production.Ne-Yo likens the experienceto a time-warp:

“It was bootcamp for 1942,meaning there was no musicthat wasn’t from 1942, therewas no food that wasn’t from1942,” he says. “No cellphones, nothing. It was snow-ing, and we were in tents.”

On the horizon

Ne-Yo on hisupcomingalbumThe R&B artist iscurrently finishing anew album titled “TheCracks in Mr. Perfect.”“[It] speaks on the per-fection that is imper -fection,” he explains.“It’s the more humanside of Ne-Yo — notNe-Yo the celebrity, noteven Ne-Yo the singer-songwriter. [It’s about]Ne-Yo the man and thethings we deal with asmen, as humanbeings.”

That inward retro-spection is at least par-tially a reaction to liv-ing in the public eye.“As a celebrity, you’reexpected to beperfect,” he says.“You’re not allowed tojust not want to dealwith people. The oneday you don’t want todo that, you’re an a—hole. In actuality, we’rehuman beings. This al-bum just expressesthat: ‘Celebrity? OK,whatever. Artist?Whatever — humanbeing first.’”

In that context, hesays, “It’s relatable toeverybody, becausethere is no such thingas perfection.”

KATE BECKINSALE’SRE-‘AWAKENING’

Kate Beckinsale returns to the ‘Underworld’ franchise At first, the films were a lark Then ‘it all spiraled out of control’

COURTESY OF SONY PICTURES

‘‘Underworld: Awak-ening” marks KateBeckinsale’s thirdouting — after

skipping the franchise’s last in-stallment — as ruthless, gun-toting vampire Selene, so theBritish actress has had time toadjust to her character’s tem-per. “I suppose it’s my secondor third time playing the char-acter, so I’m used to the factthat she doesn’t hold backwhen she’s annoyed,” she says.

Annoyed is one way to putit. In the new film, Selene bites,shoots and stabs her waythrough countless human andwerewolf foes after waking upfrom a forced 12-year hiberna-tion. And after three films,Beckinsale is still amazed she’sdeveloped a reputation as anaction star. “It’s so crazy, it’s ab-solutely mad. And you’d thinkI’d be more used to it now,” shesays. “The first ‘Underworld,’ I’dcome off of doing lots of Mer-chant Ivory films and Shake-speare, and even the Americanmovies I’d done were largelyperiod pieces, so I’d often getthe feedback from casting peo-ple that, ‘She’s very soft anddelicate and English, and wecan’t imagine her with anedge.’ And I thought, I’ll have tosee if I can do that then. Andthen it all kind of spiraled outof control.”

So what would the Oxford-educated actress like to be do-ing besides dispatching badguys? Make people laugh. “I’mquite smiley and jolly in real

life,” she says. “I’d love to domore comedy. I don’t find verymany comedies where I findthe women’s parts are very fun-ny. ‘Bridesmaids’ was so excit-ing because that doesn’t hap-pen very often.”

At 38, Beckinsale is by nomeans old, but Holly-wood can be a cruelplace for actresses. She

acknowledges the industry’sdouble standard for womenand men when it comes to ma-turity, but she’s ignoring it.“You’re talking to someonewho’s just spent the entire yearrunning about on a wire,” shesays. “For me, I haven’t beenhanded my carpet slippers orexperienced any career hot-flashes yet. I’m sure I will, butthis hasn’t been it. So I’m ableto live in my little bubblewhere I’m not about to be 70years old.”

In fact, when comparinghow she handled the stuntwork on the first “Underworld”film to “Underworld: Awaken-ing,” Beckinsale says she’s actu-ally getting better with age. “Ijust feel better because I wassuch a novice then,” she says.“Whether I’ve lost energy, eggs,hope, bone density, whatever— fullness in my breasts — I’mnot aware of that as much as Iam the fact that I’m more confi-dent in the stuff.”

Hollywood today

Kate Beckinsale is by nomeans a fan of the TMZ age,with constant paparazzi at-tention and shots of starsshopping for groceries splat-tered across the Internet, butthat doesn’t mean shedoesn’t understand it.

“I think we’ve lost that slightlymagical air of what moviestars used to be,” she says.“There’s something that isvery spoiled now. It is verytempting to expose every-one’s feet of clay because weare so bombarded with visu-als of the perfect female andmale form that I think it’s veryoppressive to people. ... What-ever it is, it does inspire agreat kind of low self-esteemin almost anybody.”

“I’m quite smileyand jolly in real life.I’d love to do morecomedy. I don’t findvery many comedieswhere I find thewomen’s parts arevery funny.”BECKINSALE

Ewan McGregor is helpless against Gina Carano’s fist.

‘Haywire’Director: Steven SoderberghCast: Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum,Michael FassbenderRating: R Grade: �����The story of a double-crossedcontract killer has been doneover and over again, sure. Ittakes the steady hand of a vet-eran director like StevenSoderbergh to make a newone not stink. We alreadyknow from his three “Oceans”movies that the directorknows how to keep a caperfilm bouncy, fun and smart.Unlike his darker work infilms like “Contagion” and“Traffic,” Soderbergh seems tobe able to turn a switch on hisdirecting style when it comesto these “lighter” movies. Theset up may be the same, butthe outcome is never what

you’d expect.But half the reason this

film isn’t just more of thesame old wronged-assassin-on-a-mission movie is that mixed-martial arts master Gina Cara-no is its star. That a lady killeris still such a novelty may be abit of an eye-roller, but Cara-no’s legitimate skills as afighter bring a visceral punchto every bone-crunching ac-tion sequence. She’s not allthere as an actor yet — some-times issuing lines with suchwooden machismo, she makesJason Statham look like Lau-rence Olivier. But Soderberghhas surrounded her with acast more than able to fill thevoids of her own acting expe-rience.

‘ExtremelyLoud andIncrediblyClose’Director: Stephen DaldryCast: Tom Hanks, SandraBullock, Thomas Horn, Viola DavisRating: PG-13Grade:�����Can a movie be considered agood one just because it madeyou cry? That’s somethingmany reviewers have struggledwith when it comes to this film.Look at the components on thetable: An adorable, precocious-ly smart child is in mourning forhis father, who died in theWorld Trade Center attacks of9/11. The father is played byTom Hanks. Sandra Bullockplays the boy’s long-sufferingmother. Veteran actor Max vonSydow plays a mysteriousstranger who, despite his un-willingness to speak, ever, de-

cides to help the boy on hisquest to unlock a riddle his fa-ther left behind for him. Comeon, is that not a recipe for cuteoverload — or at least weepyoverload? It’s just too preciousto take in all at once.

While the story (based onthe book by Jonathan SafranFroer) is smartly constructed,many have accused the movieof pulling a bit too hard on theheartstrings. Any movie thatmakes 9/11 a centerpiece ofthe plot runs the risk of beinglabeled as exploitative. But forsome, it’s that catharsis thatmakes a film like this seembrave. METRO/HP HEIDI PATALANO

THE WORDMetro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip @dorothyatmetro [email protected]

Just why did megastar JenniferLopez fall for Casper Smart? Ifyou’re thinking it’s becausehe’s a hot piece of young manmeat with terrific abs who iscompletely subservient to herevery want and desire, you’dbe wrong! It’s his seriouslydeep tweets, yo. How movingare they? Let’s just say: Cansomeone get the presidentfrom the Precious MomentsPage-a-Day Calendar companyon the phone? Smart needs tostop dancing and start writingto inspire all of us. Some of myfavorites:

“Age, status, n opinions of others are irrelevant.”

@TheNoteboook: Be real, beyourself, be unique, be true, behonest, be humble, be happy.”......JUST BE!!!!!

“We should all honor our timehere by indulging our passionand dreams. So, close your earsand open your hearts; Love and

be happy!”

Wow! Can’t you just visual-ize that text on a poster with apicture of the “Hang in There”cat? How does he know that my“passion and dreams” consistof mocking, in a free dailynewspaper, the throwawaytweets of a 24-year-old backupdancer I’ve never met?

Aniston is having a baby!Jennifer Aniston is reportedlysix months pregnant withboyfriend Justin Theroux’schild, according to MTV UK —though the pregnancy is newseven to friends. “She wouldn’thave wanted to make a bigdeal but she must be so excit-ed,” a pal says. “If anyone everasked if she was worried aboutrunning out of time, she’d re-ply, ‘I’m absolutely havingkids. There’s not one doubt inmy mind.’” Aniston has beenspotted out at a pair of eventsrecently either bundled uparound the middle or showing

off a suspiciously swelled bel-ly. Speculation that the couplemight be expecting began inOctober when they were spot-ted leaving a clinic together.

Spears: The weddingrumors startDetails about Britney Spears’upcoming wedding to JasonTrawick are beginning to trick-le out, according to RadarOnline. “It’s going to be a veryintimate wedding with onlyimmediate family and very,very close friends,” a sourcesays. “It will probably be a des-tination wedding in a verywarm, tropical location.” Asfor the singer’s two sons fromher marriage to KevinFederline? “Britney’s sons areabsolutely going to be a part ofthe ceremony as ring-bearers,”

the source adds. “And Jasonhas something very specialplanned for the boys that willtake place during thewedding.”

Madonna knowswhat makes it workMadonna knows what it takesto make a relationship work— or not work, as the casemay be. “I think with all rela-tionships you are going tohave to give up something,”Madonna, who is currentlydating 24-year-old dancerBrahim Zaibat, tells Graziamagazine. “It is a juggling act,it’s about compromising.” Andwhen speaking with the U.K.’sTelegraph, the singer and di-rector took a more pragmatictone: “There is no such thingas perfect love,” she says. “All

love requires compromise orsacrifice.”

Middleton is tired of the attentionPippa Middleton is reportedlysick and tired of the paparazziattention that’s become a reg-ular part of her life since hersister, Kate, married PrinceWilliam, so her lawyers aretaking action, according toHollyscoop. Citing the “seriousdistress and anxiety” the pho-tographers’ presence causes,Middleton’s lawyers have sentcease-and-desist letters to the“nine or 10 agencies outsideher door every day,” threaten-ing legal action if they don’tease off. As for publications, sofar the Daily Mail is the onlyone to vow to stop usingpaparazzi images of her.

On Fridays, Dorothywill post the besttweets she receivedduring the week. Youcan always let herknow what you think— good or bad — at@dorothyatmetro.

This week, wediscussed GoldenGlobes fashion, the factI get a lot of hate mailand that @ctwinfield is(hilariously) a weekbehind.

@sarrible: Actuallyliked Claire Danes'sdress, but by far bestmoment was whenPeter Dinklage got aneyeful of Piper Perabo'smystery.

@TheWittyBiddy:NOT Madonna or herfour boobs!

@LadyCLada: A stone-cold GORGEOUS oneRT @dorothyatmetro:I'm just going to say it:Angelina Jolie alwayslooks like a stone-coldb-tch.

@Konnichiwaaaaa udo get some serioushate mail. Perhaps ushld stop writing aboutentertainment & start acolumn replying 2 hatemail.

@ctwinfield Blue Ivyfor a baby's name?!Sounds more like itwould be a...oh, thatwas last week, wasn'tit? Nevermind.

The feed ...

Smart, left, also retweets @TheNotebook. Deep!

Talking points

Sources say Aniston has beencovering up her midsection lately.

Brand’snewest tell-all bookIs Russell Brand writing atell-all memoir about his 14-month marriage to KatyPerry? According to UsWeekly, he is. The tabloidsays that not only did Brandblindside his pop-star wifewith the filing of thedivorce, but he is also plan-

ning to “cover all the nitty-gritty, sometimes uglydetails” of their marriage.

Perry, for one, isn’t hap-py. “Katy is insulted andfeels betrayed that Russellhas treated her so poorly,” apal to the singer tells Us.“She will never forgive him.Ever.”

Sure, it’s low-class, but isanyone else just the slightestbit interested in knowing ifhe ever got to play with thatwhipped-cream bra?

Casper Smarttakes to Twitter

“Our hearts are endless and our soulsinfinite. Ages are merereminders of the hourslogged on this earthand the precious timeremaining.” CASPER SMART

Tweeted

Is Russell going to kiss and tell in his newest book?

If a laundry list of ingredi-ents intimidates you out ofthe kitchen and into thepizza place next door,

Claire Robinson, host of FoodNetwork’s “5 Ingredient Fix,”says you’re not alone.

“People get angry whenthey see 27 ingredients in arecipe and they’re trying tolearn to cook,” the TV chefsays. “I don’t have 27 ingredi-ents in my kitchen right nowand I’m a chef!”

When it comes to preparinggreat food, Robinson swearsthat less really is more.

“If you choose fewer ingre-dients, then you’re able to con-trol the quality of ingredientsthat you’re putting in yourbody,” she says.

For anyone whose resolu-tion is to cook more — or tojust learn how to cook —Robinson thinks going by thebook will only take you so far.

“Following recipes isn’tteaching you how to cook,” shesays. “You’re the executive chefof your kitchen. Read a recipe,make it and then add to it.”

THE WEDDINGASSEMBLY EVENT

George Lopez is a big propo-nent of mixing music and com-edy. He says he doesn’t want hisaudience to be laughed out bythe time he takes the stage.

“When you usually see aheadliner, you sit through sixdudes and by the third guyyou’re like, ‘Come on!’” he says,“I hire a band so people feellike they’ve had a full evening.”

Music isn’t just part of theevening’s program — it’spart of how Lopez himself isprogrammed.

“It’s a little bit like jazz,” hesays of the way he structureshis stand-up routine. “Youknow the notes, and you justdecide how to play the notesfor that night. ... Some of thebest jazz is when they’re play-ing the song and they go off alittle bit and then come back tothe song.”

So what is Lopez riffing onthese days?

“There’s a lot of entitlementas we live now,” he says.“There’s a lot of people whofeel entitled. There’s less pa-tience than there used to be.It’s funny, because now thatI’ve lived long enough to be-come patient, no one is patient.

Yesterday I was at a light, andthe instant it turned green,the person behind mehonked. I had takenmy foot off the braketo put it on the gasand then, ‘BAMMP!’”

Lopez says he haslately achieved azen-like patiencethanks to undergo-ing the Eastern ther-apy of reflexology.

“They rub yourfeet and they can tellyou everything aboutwhat you’ve got goingin your body,” he says.“It really has had acalming effect in my life.”

But don’t think that willmake Lopez any lessvolatile onstage.

“With everythingthat’s happening as lifegoes, you kind of stayaround the same kind ofspine,” he says, “buteverything changesaround it. The spine ofwhat I’ve always been isstill there.”

Comedian George Lopez talksmusic, patience and the ancient artof reflexology Why you will nothave to ‘sit through six dudes’before you see him perform

Conan thebarbarian?After Conan O’Brien publiclycomplained about beingasked to take a time slot thatwas a half an hour later to ac-commodate Jay Leno,O’Brien moved to TBS andended up doing the verything he was complainingabout to George Lopez bybumping “Lopez Tonight”back an hour.

“It’s funny how that hap-pens,” says Lopez, whoseshow took a hit in ratingswith the move, and waseventually canceled fivemonths ago.

But Lopez says he is notbitter, and he was actually theone to persuade O’Brien tomake the move happen theway it did.

“It was something thatwas very different,” the come-dian says wistfully of hisshow, “and I miss that day-to-day excitement.”

Modern music enters HenryWolfe’s life rarely. He’s in hisearly 30s and he lived throughWilliamsburg’s hipster hey-day, even playing in an electro-ish combo called Bravo Silvabefore moving to Los Angelesseveral years ago. He says hehas always loved music fromthe 1970s, Neil Young beingnotable among that, but it’sthe stylish melodies, breezysyncopation and lyrical swankof classics — from BurtBacharach to Cole Porter —that influenced his solo debut,“Linda Vista.”

“I discovered a whole tradi-tion of songwriting that pre-dates the British Invasion,”says Wolfe. “One of the thingsI like most about my album is

that there’s room for individ-ual players to stretch out andhave their voices heard. A lotof music I’ve made and willprobably make in the future isarranged down to the minuti-ae of what each instrumentwill play.”

That element works be-cause, like the proverbialsailor with a girl in every port,Wolfe has different East Coastand West Coast backing bands.

“The fact that I don’t haveone set of musicians that I’malways playing with [meanshaving] a repertoire that isflexible is important. It’s nicenot to have to rely on anyoneor have them feel like you’rerelying on them. I like thatindependence.” LINDA LABAN

Lawmakers in thepocket of HollywoodI’m distressed that so manyhave voiced support for theSOPA/PIPA legislation, as acareful reading of theproposed bills show a deeply

flawed effort to address thegenuine problem of onlinepiracy. But giving the federalgovernment carte blanche toseize foreign website IPs,eliminate existing Safe Har-bor and Fair Use practices andput legal liability onAmerican companies for pos-sible copyright-infringingcontent from overseas strikesme as counterproductive.Ironically, it also interfereswith foreign policy and cybersecurity, as it stifles softwareinnovation and developmentwith the threat of prosecu-tion.

‘Good students are a breeze to teach’Students’ failures are teach-ers’ faults. Hence, teachersneed to be evaluated andgood teachers compensated.Unfortunately, good studentsare a breeze to teach, and theteachers that need to be com-

The duty of theteacher is only to teach, notto babysit. Parents expecttheir children to learn inschool. However, when chil-dren don’t show up in class,when they show up withoutbooks or pencils, when theycome to school only to social-ize and disrupt theclassroom, no matter howgood he or she is, there is notmuch a teacher can do.

1Bump ’n grind

The over/under for Sunday’sPatriots-Ravens game is 50.5,and if I were a betting man, Imight be leaning towards theunder.

Why? Well, for one, the Ravens

defense is the real deal. Whilethey won’t shut down the Pa-triots offense, reaching 30points will be an extremelytough task. In fact, the Ravenshave touched 30 points justonce since Week 8.

This game will be a grindon both sides, with big defen-sive stands occurring more of-ten than not. The Pats offenseshould prevail over Baltimore’sdefense, but don’t expect an-other six-touchdown day.

On the other side, Joe Flac-co should see some openingshere and there, but in theend his numbers will bepedestrian.

2Who am I?

You’ll never hear a Patriotsdefensive back calling outTom Brady.

But in Baltimore — wherethe roles seem to be flipped —that’s exactly what happenedwith Ed Reed and Joe Flaccothis past week.

Reed essentially said Flaccoseemed rattled out on thefield by the Texans defenselast Sunday. Obviously, thatdidn’t go over well.

So what happens if Flaccothrows a pick on the firstdrive? Do Reed’s com-ments creep intohis head?Reed’s afirst ballot Hall-of-Famer, but he may be help-ing out the Patriots defensewith his comments thisweek. On the other hand,maybe it lights a bigger fireunder Flacco.

3Young and hungry

On Sunday, the Patriots willhonor four postseason heroes,including Tedy Bruschi, TyLaw, and Troy Brown. Youknow their stories. Now, it’stime for the 2011 Pats team tocreate its own legacy. Howwill this team beremembered?

“I think that is somethingthat everybody kind of wants,to make your own little nichein the organization and kindof be remembered,” second-year linebacker and undraftedfree agent Dane Fletcher said.

“One of my coachesalways said, ‘do notbe soon forgotten,

and long remem-bered,’ and I kind of

live by that.”There aren’t many

holdovers from the gloryyears. Now is this new crop’stime to shine.

It’s been 11 years now for 36-year-old Ray Lewis.

To add some context,many Baltimore fans thatwere in elementary schoolwhen the Ravens won theirfirst and only Lombardi Tro-phy are now graduating col-lege or are firmly part of the

greater D.C. work force.It’s been seven years for

34-year-old Tom Brady. To add some context, no

one had yet heard of theterm SpyGate and GiseleBundchen was just some un-attainable supermodel thatmost football followers hadnever heard of.

Ed Reed, 33, will go downas one of, if not the, finestsafety to ever play in theleague. But he is ringless.

Lewis, Brady and Reed arethree of the greatest playersto ever play their respectivepositions but a win this Sun-day and another one in twoweeks would end a lot of de-bates.

The three players will alsobe competing against theghosts of playoffs past andthe elite in NFL history thisSunday (3 p.m., CBS). Allthree are certainly aware ofthe stakes and that this op-portunity won’t be there in,say, 2015 or ’16.

“It’s kind of hard to thinkabout Father Time,” Lewis

said. “I don’t have time tothink about when it’s over todo this or when it’s time todo that. When it’s over, it’sover. Everybody here has toappreciate that great war-riors fight until the end.Those are the ones you re-member.”

Brady, in his Belichickianpodiumspeak, had this tosay:

“This is nothing about lastweek or last season or lastmonth or 10 years ago,”Brady told WEEI sports radio.“It’s about this week. Theclock’s ticking. And everysecond that goes by, we’reone second closer to gettingto that game.”

Perhaps Reed said it mostsuccinct:

“I’m getting old,” Reedtold Sports Illustrated thisweek. “I understand it. Oneday it won’t be me up here.It’ll be another safety in Balti-more.”

The immortalsRay Lewis, Tom Brady and Ed Reed are all-time greats Could be final

cracks at Lombardi Trophy One more SB ring would cement legacies

This just may be the last go ’round for Ray Lewis.

Still kickin’

Despite being in their mid-30s, Ray Lewis, TomBrady and Ed Reed each hadsuperb 2011 seasons:

Ray Lewis still managed topost 95 tackles in 2011 despite missing four gamesdue to a toe injury. Tom Brady was the NFL MVPin 2010 but put up even better numbers in 2011.Brady passed for 5,235 yardsand 39 TDs this past year.Ed Reed set the tone for theRavens’ 2011 season withtwo interceptions againstPittsburgh on opening day.

Rivers insists he’s onsame page as AingeThe Celtics’ early season trou-bles have led to fans and me-dia alike speculating about thefuture of “The Big 3” of PaulPierce, Kevin Garnett and RayAllen.

After the Celts dismissed theToronto Raptors on Wednesdaynight, a report came out in TheBoston Globe that had com-ments from president of bas-ketball operations Danny Aingetalking about a similar periodin franchise history.

“I sat with Red [Auerbach]during a Christmas party [inthe early 1990s],” Ainge re-called. “Red was talking toLarry [Bird], Kevin [McHale]and myself and there was a lotof trade discussion at the timeand Red actually shared someof the trade discussions. And Itold Red, what are you doing?Why are you waiting?”

Ainge said that Auerbach

had a chance to trade Bird andMcHale for younger playerslike Chuck Person, DetlefSchrempf and Sam Perkins.Auerbach, however, remainedloyal to his two aging stars. Heallowed both to retire as

Celtics but those non-movesled to the Celtics being irrele-vant for well beyond a decade.

Ainge also stated that to-day’s NBA landscape is muchdifferent and that trades thatswap young, up-and-comingtalent for aging, accomplishedstars rarely happen.

Head coach Doc Rivers ad-dressed the rumors at practiceThursday.

“You don’t ever like hear-ing that, but listen, Danny andI are always on the samepage,” Rivers told ESPN.com atpractice on Thursday. “I don’tthink he meant in any waythat he was trying to tradeanybody. I think that was howit was looked at. I would sayit’s a very strong possibilitythat we’re going to get this to-gether and a stronger possibil-ity that every single guy willbe here.” METRO/MB

Tom Brady. Eli Manning. RayLewis. Patrick Willis.

Those are the names the TVbroadcast teams will be drool-ing over and shoving downthe public’s throats this week-end — and rightfully so. Theyare four of the best players inthe entire NFL.

However, the NFC and AFCchampionship games are go-ing to come down to the play

of the less heralded stars. Guysthat are bouncing back frominjuries and offseason issues,and some rising stars who arecoming off breakout regularseasons.

We take a look at eightplayers that could make ahuge impact in Sunday’sgames and maybe even decidewho ultimately advances tothe Super Bowl.

DIFFERENCE MAKERSBrady, Manning, Lewis, Willis deserve top billing this weekend, but don’t sleep on these impact players Plenty of diamonds in the rough on display in NFL’s final four Defensive playmakers take center stage

DEAL:Whitner, the 49ers’ startingstrong safety , likes to talksome trash. His tweetTuesday, after beating NewOrleans, simply said, “Outhere in San Fran we let ourShoulder Pads do all thetalking....haha.”

ANALYSIS:With so many Pro Bowlselections on San Fran’sdefense (four of them tobe exact), Whitnersometimes gets lost in theshuffle. However, that hit heput on Pierre Thomas last week— the one where Thomas wentlimp and fumbled the ball —might have Giants receiversthinking twice about crossingpaths with him.

Donte

Whitner

Victor Cruz

Mark Anderson

WIDE RECEIVER, GIANTSThe undrafted free agentout of UMass had his com-ing-out party in a Week 3win over Philadelphia,catching two longtouchdowns and making

Nnamdi Asomugha trip overhimself. Cruz’s 1,536 receiv-ing yards is a single-seasonGiants franchise record —and his salsa dance (used asa scoring celebration) bringsall the girls to the yard.

Aaron HernandezBryant McKinnie

Corey Webster

CORNERBACK, GIANTSNew York’s secondary wassupposed to be vulnerable, aweakness even on anotherwise stout defense.

But Webster has defied thatlogic. He finished the regularseason with a career-high sixinterceptions and has been

even better in the postseason,shutting down Falcons studRoddy White and then Pack-ers burner Greg Jennings.

This week, he is expectedto guard Michael Crabtree,who was held to just onecatch for 21 yards when thetwo teams met on Nov. 13.

DEFENSIVE END, PATRIOTSCall him Tebow Kryptonite.The 6-foot-4, 255-pounderracked up 10 sacks in 14games for the Pats, andsmothered Broncos QB TimTebow in two wins. Ander-son sacked him twice inWeek 15 and forced a fum-ble in last week’s playoffwin. With Andre Carter(quad) out, Anderson is thePats’ most prolific pass-rush-er. Alex Smith beware.

Aldon Smith LINEBACKER, 49ERSThe seventh overall pick inthe NFL draft has lived up tothe hype. Drawing compar-isons to Dallas’ DeMarcusWare, Smith set the 49ersrecord for most sacks in aseason (14) and fell half asack short of the all-timerookie record.

Smith is viewed by manyas a situational pass-rusher.He was on the field for lessthan 50 percent of the49ers’ defensive plays andnotched 13 of his 14 sacksagainst (think Giants here)three wide-receiver sets.

TIGHT END, PATRIOTSWhile fellow stud tight endRob Gronkowski gets all theheadlines (and records), Her-nandez might be the biggerthreat overall.

The 6-foot-1, 245-pounderis fleet (4.6 40 time) and canline up at four different posi-tions, including tight end,blocking fullback, slotreceiver and wide receiver.

LEFT TACKLE, RAVENSHe was left for dead after aweight problem and a pen-chant for skipping practices— McKinnie was kicked offthe 2010 Pro Bowl team formissing meetings — forcedhim out of Minnesota.

But McKinnie hasslimmed down (officiallylisted at a svelte 360pounds) and looks like thePro Bowl tackle he oncewas, now protecting RavensQB Joe Flacco’s blind side.

Ironic since McKinnie’ssuccess helped move “TheBlind Side” star MichaelOher to right tackle.

Lardarius WebbCORNERBACK, RAVENSWe all know how disruptivesafety Ed Reed (he had onepick last week and droppedtwo more) can be, but Webbhas developed into one ofthe better corners.

“Sometimes I’m mad andI want to curse him out. Butit all pays off during theweek,” Webb said of Reed.

He recorded fiveinterceptions in the regularseason and has two alreadythis postseason, both whileblanketing Houston stud re-ceiver Andre Johnson lastweek.

72Percentage of plays that New England hasused multiple-TE formations over the past two seasons, which is the most in the NFL.

Over/under on SuperBowl XLII mentions?Answer: 102.5Confidence Level: ��Not sure if you’ve heard this,but the Giants went on asimilar playoff run in 2008.Oh, you had? The only realquestion is whether JoeBuck and Troy Aikman

break it in the NFC titlegame alone. We say yes.

Super Bowl predictions

sure to go wrong ...Winners

The grid: We’d bet it with our money ��� | We’d bet it with your money �� | Fat chance �

Quarterbacks

Who has more passingyards in their title game:Manning or Brady?Answer: Tom BradyConfidence Level: ��Both guys could struggle.The Ravens’ passing defenseis third in the NFL, while theNiners are 16th. So why dowe like Brady? Because BillBelichick will run up thescore even if they’rewinning by 28.

Who has more passingyards: Smith or Flacco?Answer: Joe FlaccoConfidence Level: �Now here’s the realquestion. Forget about thoselousy Super Bowl MVPs.Smith faces the fourth-worstpass defense in the NFL. Flac-co faces the second worst ...ever. Yes, we’ll say that again— the second worst ever.

Super Bowl picks?Answer: Giants over Patri-otsBy: Mark Osborne, Metro NY Sports EditorConfidence Level: ���Eli Manning wins his secondSuper Bowl over the Patriots,but this time winning theNFC title is tougher than tak-ing home the Lombardi Tro-phy. He throws for 300 yardson the Pats’ secondary.

Super Bowl picks?Answer: Ravens over 49ersBy: Mike Greger, Metro Philly Sports EditorConfidence Level: ���Joe Flacco vs. Alex Smith?The unlikeliest Super Bowlmatchup in recent historybecomes a reality (ascommissioner Roger Goodellcries in his craft beer).Defense still winschampionships in the NFL.

Super Bowl picks?Answer: Patriots overGiantsBy: Matt Burke, Metro Boston Sports EditorConfidence Level: ���Tom Brady gets somerevenge from Super BowlXLII as New England’s twoyoung star tight ends, RobGronkowski and AaronHernandez, come upbig as usual.

New faces

Who will be thebreakout star?Answer: Patrick WillisConfidence Level: ��If you don’t know the namealready, you will by Sundaynight. The over/under onmentions of Niners’linebacker Patrick Willis byFOX’s Troy Aikman is set at37.5. We advise you to takethe over. He will be tacklinglots of people.

Is Jim Harbaugh theCoach of the Year?Answer: Yes. Obviously.Confidence Level: ���Our scale only goes up tothree stars, but feel free tobet your house on this one.Harbaugh took over an aw-ful San Francisco team thatwas badly in need of a quar-terback to replace bust AlexSmith. And then they won13 games. With Smith.

Odds Tim Tebow getsmore airtime than Victor Cruz? Answer: 4-to-1Confidence Level: ��All the studio shows, mostspecifically CBS and ESPN,have been pushing to getTebow on. No word so far.But there’s a reasonablechance the second-year QBgets more airtime than thesecond-year Giants wideout.

Shenanigans

Who makes a dumb Super Bowl comment?Answer: Antrel RolleConfidence Level: ��The Giants safety is alwaysready to say somethingbrash and stupid. But mostlystupid. We would guaranteethis, but he has to actuallymake the SuperBowl. If so, it is to-tally a given.

Commentary Random

Which city has the worstgroup of fans?Answer: San FranciscoConfidence Level: ��Talk about a tough one. Dowe go with pompous NewYorkers? MASSholes? Haveyou seen “The Wire”? Wechoose the Niners fansbecause someone actuallygot shot at a preseasongame. This was a footballgame. Calm down people.

Best WAG left in thepostseason?Answer: Gisele BundchenConfidence Level: ���This wasn’t as easy as youmight think. Osi Umenyio-ra’s girlfriend Selita Ebanks,also a Victoria’s Secret mod-el is second and Anna Burns,dating Wes Welker is third.But we have to go with theclassically beautiful Mrs.Tom Brady.

Which mistimedcommercial will causeterrible suffering?Answer: State FarmConfidence Level: �Yes, the Discount DoubleCheck was funny once. Notso much anymore for GreenBay fans who thought theywere going back-to-back.The other option — PepsiMax’s terrible Rex Ryan andMark Sanchez abomination.

Gisele is hard to beat in the WAGcategory. Tom Brady is one very

lucky man.

617-367-2900* Sale ends 1/31/12

So, the Patriots defense is goingto blow this team's chance at afourth Super Bowl title, eh?

They’re going to give up500 passing yards, 40 points,and blow the last goal-linestand of the game against theRavens?

Based on the way the na-tional media portrays the PatsD, you’d have every reason tothink those things. Heck, TroyAikman said the Patriots hadthe worst defense to evermake the playoffs.

Come. On.Listen, the Pats defense

isn’t going to break anyrecords anytime soon, butworst ever? Not even close. Infact, there are a lot of statsthat would prove the Patriotsdefense is satisfactory. Andwith an offense like the onethey possess, satisfactory ismore than enough.

Let’s get this out of the way

right now: They ranked 31stin total yardage allowed. Bigwhoop. Teams threw on thePatriots 619 times in the regu-lar season, fourth most in theNFL. Eventually those yardswill add up.

But did yards given uptranslate to points? Nope.When it came to points al-lowed, the Patriots gave up21.4, putting them in the tophalf of the league. In fact, thePatriots have only given upmore than seven points in thesecond half once in the lastnine weeks.

“Each week we are gettingbetter,” Vince Wilfork said.“That’s our goal to get better,and each week we have. It’s

something that we work forand that’s what we’ll continueto do. The better we can beprepared, the better we’ll beon Sunday. That’s where we’reat right now.”

Wilfork is having arguablyhis best season as a Patriot. Ontop of the 52 tackles, he hadtwo interceptions and oneforced fumble during the regu-lar season. That’s three take-aways out of an AFC-leading 34.

And when it comes to rundefense, the Pats are relativelystable. They’ll have to be onSunday because of Ray Rice.

“I think it all starts with[Rice],” Wilfork said this week.“After him, it starts with thequarterback. … We have to do agood job of slowing [Rice] downand hopefully everything elsewill fall in place for us.”

Patriots secondary jelling at right time Wilforkone of the premier defensive players in the entire NFL

Not too shabby

Jerod Mayo has been a leader on the improving Patriots defense.

Super Bowlmatchups we’dlove to seePatriots-GiantsThe rematch of Super BowlXLII, would give Patriots fans achance to exorcise some of thedemons of 2007.

Giants fans would salivateover the chance to forever beable to claim domination overtheir neighbors to the north.

The rest of the country maybe sick of the whole “NewYork-Boston thing, ” but in theNortheast, it’s still the hottest

matchup going.

Ravens-49ersThe Harbaugh Bowl betweenhead coaches Jim (San Fran)and John (Baltimore) wouldspark sibling rivalries acrossthe country.

As overexposed as the sto-ryline would eventuallybecome (you’re sort of alreadygetting a taste), when you trulysit back and think about it, it’sa remarkable story.

Patriots-49ersThe dynasty of the 2000s vs.the dynasty of the 1980s. TomBrady would be facing the

team he once dreamed woulddraft him.

Brady would be seeking hisfourth Super Bowl ring. Hisboyhood idol, Joe Montana,already has four.

Giants-RavensNostalgiawise, this one wouldn’t conjure up manypleasant memories. Mainly be-cause Super Bowl XXXV wasn’tthat entertaining.

From a pure football stand-point, however, this gamewould be a great one. It wouldcertainly quiet all the pass-hap-py, new age NFL fans.
