That was an indication that perhaps the I.R.A. had had enough of the killing game. But when Adams appeared as a pallbearer at bomber Begley's funeral, optimism faded. It now looks very much as if the killers...
This season, Yankoff is 28-for-72 for 372 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. Yankoff has the added burden of operating Kwiatkowski's trademark "Wing-T Flex" offense, an innovative Multiflex style attack which has not gotten its due because of Brown's horrible personnel...
