Tiki running out of time
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New Orleans Saints are looking for a little time off before starting the playoffs. The New York Giants want the opposite -- to avoid time off and make the playoffs. New York (7-7) and the Saints (9-5) will have much at stake at Giants Stadium today in what will be the final home game for retiring Giants running back Tiki Barber. The feel-good Saints have already won the NFC South title and they could clinch a first-round bye with a win and a loss by Dallas to Philadelphia tomorrow night. FAST START .
Holiday season filled on complaints for gyms 5:22 PM
In the last seven days, on average, most of us gained about five pounds. You might feel better about that once you are on the tread mill. That's if you don't feel like you are getting the run around, cheated or wronged by the new gym you joined. The Better Business Bureau says this is their busy season for complaints when it comes to gyms. We sat down with one of the women who called the BBB for help. "I'm very mad. I'm still very mad," says Rhonda Bailey. She's the mother of two teens and closing in on 50- years old. Keeping after her health and up with her teens is a priority so Rhonda decided to join a gym.

Woodward says sacking of England's fitness guru was the last straw
Sir Clive Woodward admitted yesterday he had just received a Christmas card from Francis Baron - and immediately renewed his attack on the Rugby Football Union's chief executive. Baron had responded to Woodward's weekend broadside against the RFU by suggesting that the architect of England's World Cup triumph in 2003 was out of touch after two years out of the game. But Woodward, who also refused to rule out a return to rugby, fought back yesterday when he said: "It's a good line of his but it's nonsense. It's just a smokescreen and it's not addressing the issues. I speak regularly to people like Dave Reddin, who left the game two days ago, and he's at the cutting edge." .

In Good Health — Fighting the fat suit
I'm putting on my fat suit, and I'm not talking about the big red Santa one. As I type this, I'm digesting a heaping plate of a News-Post potluck lunch, followed by grandma's fruitcake and somebody's amazing chocolate chip cookies. I do this every year -- commit to not overindulge in Christmas cookies, overindulge in Christmas cookies, then curse myself for the Christmas cookies causing my fat suit. OK, OK. Fat suit might be strong, but like a lot of people, I'm worried about holiday weight gain. (Yet apparently not enough to keep those chocolate chip cookies out of my mouth.) I'm finding competing reports on how much we actually gain between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Some say between five and 10 pounds, while a study from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in 2000 stated it's actually less than a pound.
