...Jets went 56 yards in eight plays, sparked by Testaverde's completions of 20 yards to Keyshawn Johnson, 14 to Wayne Chrebet and 11 to Jerald Sowell to the New England 5. On third down, Brady slipped free in the flat and barely got into the end zone--although replays indicated he dropped the ball before crossing the goal line...
...humility was never his forte--and so misogynistic that he never married and probably died a virgin. Of course, such traits have never disqualified anyone from sainthood, and nobody would doubt that Gaudi was in a general way a more saintly character than, say, Frank Lloyd Wright or Philip Johnson.

And as hard as it is to apply the term "charity case" to a convicted rapist, the strange saga of Mike Tyson -- bolstered by the testimony of Muhammad Ali and Magic Johnson -- may actually have softened a few hearts Monday. "There are only a few punishments worse than being denied a right to make a living," Ali said in a statement. (Ali was banned for three and a half years for refusing the draft...
