...team to finish the regular season undefeated, following Saturday's determined 38-35 comeback win against the New York Giants, New England has sewn up an astounding achievement. (The Pats are the first squad to finish a 16-game season undefeated.) It's even sweeter for the team because prior to this year, many experts thought Belichick was losing his touch. He revamped a team that was just one win away from the Super Bowl by trading for All-Pro malcontent Randy Moss. But Moss has behaved, and he and quarterback Tom Brady had record-breaking seasons.

Or, it could be that uterine adhesions or infections from the terminated pregnancy slow the growth of the fetus in subsequent pregnancies...
...then, a victory over the Wildcats this past Friday night would have been not only an affirmation of its No. 1 rank but also revenge for its recent struggles against UNH, coach Katey Stone’s alma mater. Considering that the Wildcats dominated statistically in many of these prior losses, what sticks out from Friday’s game is a shot count of 23-12 in Harvard’s favor. “We outshot them, 2-1, at the end of the game,” Cahow said. “It doesn?...
