PS How do you explain the "equipment malfunction" story that was first given. Kind of sounds like "a bird flew into the engine" to me.

That's a good question -- and one that I'm surprised took 33 posts to come up :)

I'm not sure... Perhaps the officials never even said that and it was just something that the media invented. I can tell you that MANY times coaches/players/fans think that an official said or did something and it just didn't happen that way.

As soon as I see anything addressing that I'll let you know...

I'm a rabid Cleveland FAN. I however, found it a little strange that Al Lerner, the great Republican that he is, hired IX-42's former Chief of Security as the man who would be responsible for keeping plastic beer bottles off the field. Has anyone else found that strange?
