...playing with every Saturday. Taking the advice of former Crimson players Carl Morris ’03 and Jamil Soriano ’03—both of whom have toiled on practice squads and in the NFL Europe—Fitzpatrick has endeavored to keep the future distinct from the present. The agents get deferred to his father, while the subject of the NFL has been off-limits between Murphy and Fitzpatrick since day one of this season...

It should come as little surprise that the Middle East falls into the middle category of nations where terrorist activity...
...this fearlessness mixed with constant outrage--imagine Larry David with an actual reason to be angry--that gives Sykes' voice its distinct character. In Yeah, I Said It, she writes of the no-win situation faced by less-than-good-looking women: "An ugly woman could cure cancer and there would be jokes on late-night television shows: 'Did you hear about the ugly scientist that cured cancer? Yeah, that's great. You know how she found the cure? Apparently she looked at the cancer and scared it away...
