...never saw the Canton Bulldogs or the Decatur Staleys play professional football. I don't care what anyone thinks; I'm not that old. But I did grow up in Wisconsin, where the last of the small town teams, the Green Bay Packers, claimed my childish heart and, to this day, my aging one. Romantically - and doubtless erroneously - I continue to believe that today's insanely well-paid Packers (representing a franchise worth hundreds of millions) have some near-mystical connection with pro-football's prehistoric days, when, if the players were lucky, they might get fifty or a hundred...
...biggest guy in the world, but he works hard and he never gives up on a rebound,” said senior forward Jon Pelle, who joined Kalemba on the All-Tournament Team along with teammate Alex Biega.

He finds himself trapped on an island that's become a maximum-security prison, designed by the people who brought the world Kentucky Fried Chicken: "Tiny battery-size cages, guarded by ignorant teenagers ... and characterized by a profound feeling of despair...
...that can cause a change in public awareness." An atheist whose skepticism of organized religion was honed growing up during Ireland's Troubles, Bowman nonetheless claims his Guantánamo show is deeply Christian. It stands up "for American values, and for Christian values," he says. "Guantánamo Bay is profoundly un-Christian. I'm simply doing what Jesus did during his life: going around from place to place, and speaking up for what he believed...
