Football was and continues to be a lot of hard work out on the practice field, sweltering through muggy Cambridge afternoons in the early season and performing exercises in self-affliction as the season drags into frigid November. Football is football, and there are no revolutionary changes in store for the gridiron enthusiast who intends to follow up at Harvard his no-doubt fantastic high school career...

So no wonder the left never attacks sexual misadventure on the right--the left won't even admit to the fact that the right has discovered sex, too. "The last fascist we castrated wasn't even smart enough to know it had happened," complains...
