...captain Dylan Reese said. “I thought it was ridiculous. [For] both teams—he was calling everything. If you touched a guy, he called a penalty.” With both teams receiving an approximately equal proportion of the whistles, Reese felt that the constant special teams play hindered Harvard’s ability to establish its offense. “It kills the momentum of the game,” he said. “We’ve got guys sitting on the bench for ten minutes straight, and then they?...
...sideline, the whole team suffers.I suppose that Mike Shanahan’s decision is a little more difficult than the one Murphy had to make. Shanahan no longer has an NFL-version of Clifton Dawson, his league’s greatest running back ever in the backfield to provide constant stability (Terrell Davis retired a while back, of course). And hey, the Denver media can be pretty nasty—they’re not as rational or sensible as we are.I know he won’t read this, but if he does, I have a bit of advice...
...Germany, the third biggest troop contributor to ISAF, has been the focus of the caveat debate because its 2,900 troops are restricted to the more secure regions of Kabul and the north.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq's bloody campaign against Shi'ites nationwide has ensured that almost all of western Iraq is clear of Shi'ites. Iraq's Kurdish territory in the north has all but seceded...
...chest with over 20,000 short-range missiles-a similar amount to what they had at the start of the conflict, during which the group is believed to have fired over 3,000 rockets at Israel. "The Iranian pipeline through Syria was already working during the war," despite constant Israeli bombing raids on the roads into Lebanon from Syria, this Beirut source said. Officially, Syria and Iran deny that they're supplying weapons to Hizballah. As for the Shi'ite group itself, when asked about receiving a new shipment of arms from Syria and Iran, a spokesman told TIME, without...
