...receivers in the top 10 in yards or receptions per game. The good news is that QB Matt Verbit has the highest completion percentage in the league, and since the Quakers have been very successful against the run, he may just get a chance to show off his arm. But expecting anything more than a 200-yard, two-TD performance would be a stretch, and that probably wouldn’t even be enough to lead the Tigers past Penn...
...many of the characters it portrays. John Clark (Richard Gere) wants to ballroom dance. In Suo’s Japanese film this is understandably mortifying because, as a voiceover tells us at the outset, “In a country where married couples don’t go out arm in arm…the idea that a husband and wife should embrace and dance in front of others is beyond embarrassing.” Chelsom never explains what makes ballroom dance equally taboo in 21st-century Chicago.

Another Progress for America spot features pictures of Osama bin Laden and a band of fighters and asks, "Would you trust Kerry against these fanatic killers?" Message makers on both sides say that in a race this tight, it takes extreme measures to break through. "I think...
