Even as the Iraq war has dragged on, offering no foreseeable end, top Pentagon officials have maintained that the nation's Army is fit enough and big enough to fight it. But last week the military's taut tendons--at the breaking point for better than a year--could be heard painfully snapping from the Pentagon to the Sunni triangle. First came a warning from the head of the Army Reserve that those troops are "rapidly degenerating into a broken force."

"Last year we probably got away from running the ball a little too much," Cowher concedes. So in the off-season, Pittsburgh signed Eagles running back Duce Staley to a five-year, $14 million contract. When injuries slowed Staley, Bettis, a 12-year veteran who was supposed to fade into the background, got his groove back. Bettis, known as the Bus for his ability to run over tacklers, rushed for 100 or more yards in each of his first six starts...
