Nov. 15th - RUNNING WOES
Through nine games, the Bears are averaging a league worst 3.0 yards/carry running the ball. Yet, Bears center Olin Kreutz doesn't feel the offense has hit rock bottom. "Oh no," Kreutz laughed. "No, no. I've been here a long time. We've had some bad offense around here. It's not the worst it's been, but this is pretty bad. We're just not very good at running the ball right now and the way to improve it is everybody work on it, but we've been saying that for a long time now. So, what do we have to do? If we knew we would have done it. We recognize it. We're embarrassed by it. We're trying hard to get it fixed." .
California Rep. Tom Lantos, 80, Dies, Had Cancer
Tall and dignified, Lantos never lost the accent of his native Hungary, but his courtly demeanor belied the cutting comments he would make in committee if the testimony he heard was not to his liking. "Morally, you are pygmies," he berated top executives of Yahoo Inc. at a hearing he called in November 2007 as they defended their company's involvement in the jailing of a Chinese journalist. "This is about as believable as Elvis being seen in a Kmart," was his retort to a witness testifying before a subcommittee he headed in 1989 that led a congressional investigation of Reagan-era scandals at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Lantos was elected to Congress after spending three decades teaching economics at San Francisco State University, working as a business consultant and serving as a foreign policy commentator on television.
