Sports columnist Dan Wetzel, who also admires Hancock personally and is the most vocal, and reasoned, media critic of the BCS, wrote, "I hope Bill Hancock is being paid big to get humbled." (Heads up, Bill: Wetzel is also authoring an investigative...
...Jon Mohammed gesticulated vigorously to the translator in response. "My government has invited you here, and when you do these things we are very upset. If you find people who are doing these things, IEDs, bring them before me and I will be happy to have their heads cut off. You are here to protect the country...
