...things were equal, teams would make the Super Bowl every 16 years. Well, ask the Jets about that. They were Super Bowl champs in 1968 and haven't been back ? the longest return drought of any team. You bet they'd give up two No. 1's, two No. 2's and $8 mil to get back to the Super Bowl. (The NFL, however, has put the kibash on all trades that exchange coaches for draft picks...

Since 1995, sports-car sales have risen more than 50%, to about 100,000 this year, and are forecast to grow an additional 60% by 2007. While the overall market for two-seaters is limp right now--it's the kind of purchase that people postpone in an uncertain economy--automakers have their reasons...
