...Days After In a lot of ways, the deck was stacked in favor of the Allies. They had the advantage in numbers in every category - land, sea and air - while the Germans were badly depleted by the war on the Eastern front. The Germans were also hamstrung by their unbelievably byzantine and incoherent command structure - Untersturmführers and Obergruppenführers are thick on the ground in D-Day - which had a delusional Hitler at its apex...
Owners and coaches try to take care of their players physically, financially and psychologically, but they understand that players have spiritual needs too. And the more the players are spiritually at peace, the more they can focus on the game. Some teams favor a group approach - the Indianapolis Colts, for example, have three go-to spiritual receivers, covering Protestant and Catholic denominations.

...wrong with Russia's electoral system. A bearded apparatchik with Coke-bottle glasses, Churov served under Putin in the St. Petersburg mayor's office in the early 1990s. After Putin became President, he paved the way for Churov to lead the election commission, and Churov has since repaid the favor by deflecting the fraud allegations that mar every election in Russia...
