...understatement. Brian Boitano and Brian Orser are linked circles in a perfect figure eight -- they mirror each other. It is not just because they have the same name, the same lean look and the same longish hairstyle. The two are both homebodies who enjoy the pampered slot of youngest in a long line of siblings. Each took up skating before his tenth birthday, and (unlike most skaters) still trains with his first and only coach. Both have captured a string of national figure-skating titles, Boitano in the U.S., | Orser in Canada. Each has reigned as world champion; each...

Williams was the 17th player drafted in the first round of 1978 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is not a meaningless slot to the 6-ft. 4-in., 220- lb. man from Grambling, a dabbler in numerology who wears the number 17 and beat the Vikings on January 17, 17-10.
