...SWEET CAR-O-LINEAfter a poor performance off the bench in last year’s Game, senior quarterback Chris Pizzotti directed the offense on Saturday with poise, picking apart the Yale defense one play at a time. Pizzotti was 27-of-41 for 316 yards and a career-best four touchdowns. But Pizzotti’s standout day was facilitated by an exceptional showing by the offensive line. Led by a pair of seniors, center David Paine and right tackle Andrew Brecher, the line gave Pizzotti great protection in the pocket. The unit surrendered just two sacks and consistently...
...first two outings.Alternating starts for the remainder of the regular season, Martin and Kessler led Harvard to a 21-6-2 record. But playoff time meant decision time, and Stone awarded Martin the starting job for the team’s run in the postseason.

Though depressed and struggling to get back to the majors after elbow surgery, the colorful closer lived in his RV outside the team's Des Moines stadium, regularly opening his home to players and fans for post-game parties. Beck...
Rick Rubin enjoys long walks on the beach, sushi dinners and hugs that warm the corners of the soul. Behind the ZZ Top exterior lurks the soul of a Playmate. Rubin is also the most widely accomplished record producer of the past 20 years, getting career-best work out of everyone from the Dixie Chicks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Justin Timberlake--all of whom are vying for Album of the Year at the Grammys on Feb. 11. He's able to do this largely because his teddy-bear sensitivity defies every stereotype of his profession. Unlike Phil...
