...contest. The Crusaders strutted into the third contest of their season ready to fight, and the Crimson did not shy away from showing emotion in the game, either.Heated sentiments were exchanged throughout the game and continued to boil even into the final seconds when a scuffle nearly broke out between the opposing lines.The most quantifiable embodiment—and perhaps source, as well—of the players’ emotions came in the form of several defensive infractions against Holy Cross.Penalties were a frequent source of discontent on the Crusader bench; Holy Cross was set back 120 yards...

The President either sent his brother or a few Taliban defectors who were distrusted by their former jihadi comrades. Mullah Omar broke off talks through Saudi Arabia several months ago, saying that the Taliban would only talk with Karzai once all foreign troops had agreed to withdraw from Afghanistan.
