They could easily become the rallying point for the sort of global jihad that could quickly turn into a clash of civilizations. For now, that is an unlikely prospect; the Saudi royal family has deep reserves of loyalty, and Abdullah seems to be personally popular.

Penn isn’t the kind of team with players that inadvertently field kickoffs with their helmets. Penn doesn’t have linemen who are content to talk trash with punter Adam Kingston, as the Lions’ Quentin Unsworth spent far too much time doing...
