...Manning boys grew up in a shadow of fame that would have been hard to escape even if they had become dentists. Archie is a Gulf Coast legend raised in Drew, Miss., who starred at Ole Miss, where the campus speed limit is still 18 m.p.h. in recognition of his jersey number. He also inspired a popular Dixie ditty, The Ballad of Archie Who. As a pro, he owned New Orleans, despite the awful team. As a father, he worried about heaping expectations on his kids, so he stayed on the sideline. "I was scared to get too involved," says...

Which is fine for a leisurely read, but at 24 frames a second--movie speed--that can cause whiplash. Not to mention total incomprehension.

...said during the intermission seemed to work as the Crimson took the ice for overtime in complete control for the first time since the opening period. To start the game, it looked as though the Bulldogs were totally over-matched by Harvard’s speed and agility. The Crimson dominated possession, leading to an early 1-0 lead when senior forward Dan Murphy stuffed the puck over the line. Harvard outshot Yale 15-7 in the frame. But the second and third periods brought trouble for a lethargic Crimson team. After matchups against Cornell and Colgate the previous weekend...
