...Schottenheimer. That means better than Red Grange, Jim Brown, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. Heck, Tomlinson even completed two of his three passes--both for touchdowns--and is a garish seven out of 10, with six TD tosses, in his career. With the dazzling runs, sure hands and strong arm, LT, as he is known, has created the ultimate matchup problem. He has set the new standard for what a running back can do--and with his team-first attitude, how a great athlete should comport himself.

As a member of this covenant I'm sworn to secrecy on matters of timing and mechanics - the technique, for example, for avoiding the dread occupational hazard of "confetti arm." But I am permitted to quote a few of Treb's dicta. Confetti dispersal, he intones, "is a physical, violent act," a therapeutic exercise that will purge, Treb says, "all your aggressions from 2006."

Nancy Reagan, wearing dark glasses and carrying a simple clutch purse, strolled to the front row on the arm of a steady Marine.

In addition to the usual sections for the Supreme Court and family friends, there was one for 100 Eagle Scouts, who served as ushers...
