So Gunderson brought it home and showed it to her fiance, Brian Ascher. They decided that the only right thing to do was to find the owner."

'72 Dolphins don't want to face the truth

OK...The only thing that might make me actually want to root for the Patiots. I'm including a few good points, but it is worth reading through on the link:

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - '72 Dolphins don't want to face the truth
"They win on February 3, and they're the second-best team in the history of the NFL," said Morris. "We're the first team. ... If they win, they're going to be the second team."

The '72 team benefited from one of the easiest schedules in NFL history. ..

Just understand that with a game left to play, they are nothing if not tested, as their regular season included victories over six playoff teams — the Colts, Cowboys, Chargers, Steelers, Giants and Redskins.Now, go back and check the '72 Dolphins. Their regular season included only two games against teams that finished better than .500 — the Vikings and the Giants, who were both 8-6 that year. The combined won-loss record of their opponents was 43-86-3...

HITLER WAS EVEN SICKER THAN YOU THOUGHT

Very interesting article - worth a click-through!

Coach endures unthinkable loss one second at a time

Probably the saddest thing you'll read today:

NCAA Division I Mens Basketball - CBSSports.com: "THATCHER, Ariz. -- Tim Parmeter pulled into the driveway and clicked and clicked and clicked his garage door opener, probably pushed the thing four or five times, best he can remember. But the door never opened. So he shook his head.

He just thought his estranged wife had changed the code like she had changed the locks, because that's the kind of stuff people do when they're going through a divorce. And it was a messy divorce"
