We Americans typically don't like other countries stepping up toe to toe with us, and certainly Putin has ruffled many U.S. feathers. It would be good if the American people could look past their indignation at the situation in Russia and better understand why we have lost prestige in the international community...

Did I mention that he played the final four weeks, when he carried 123 times, with a broken toe? Critics will rightfully indict Yale’s senior quarterback Matt Polhemus for his inability to rally the squad from its early deficit with the pass. 2-of-18 throwing for 29 yards and two interceptions is beyond an eyesore. But the kid was knocked down on almost every dropback. And kept...
