...GRIESE HAS SAN DIEGO CHARGING TOWARD POSTSEASON Remember the great debate in 1998 over whether the Colts should take Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning or Washington State signal-caller Ryan Leaf with the top-overall selection?

These are legitimate flights in international airspace, and there's a feeling in some quarters that sending fighter escorts sends a signal that we think we're doing something wrong or hostile.
