A passenger riding on the rear of the motorcycle was fatally injured in the resulting crash. The incident triggered two nights of arson, looting and random shootings that spread...
...brightest pups out of coaching legend Paul Brown, San Francisco' s Bill Walsh and Cincinnati' s Sam Wyche, promise that rarity, a Super Bowl with imagination.
