After being strafed in a 48-47 loss at Green Bay, the defensive backs took to calling themselves "the Pearl Harbor Crew...
February 24--Green snow falls. Meselson promises that if he can't find a way to half the phenomenon, he will direct his efforts toward coordinating it better with the appropriate occasions. "If this were St. Patrick's Day, no one would be worried--you'd think it was cute," he says...
