...first round of the 66-kg weight class, in a bout with Slovakia's Jozef Krnac that resembled a very fast two-man game of Twister. "Of course in my heart, it hurt to lose," Alassane says. But the point of this trip for Alassane - and for Olympic Solidarity (OS), the scholarship program that has given him more than $20,000 for training and travel over the past 18 months - was to get a masterclass in judo.

I've covered some 20 Patriots games over the last three years, and there is no doubt in my mind that those guys go into each game believing that when it comes to the Xs and Os, no one has a better plan. That gives a player a huge advantage because it lets him think he has secrets. That's what Belichick does for his players. Plus, he's not as dull as people think. Heck, he goes to Bon Jovi concerts!
