bellicheck.jpg When NFL officials view the videotape evidence reportedly to be turned over by former New England Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh on Thursday, they'll be able to breathe a sigh of relief. The tapes apparently don't include the dreaded bombshell and their worst nightmare -- video of the St. Louis Rams' walk-through practice before the 2002 Super Bowl.  But if a New York Times description of the evidence is accurate, the league and the Patriots will see enough to feel uncomfortable.

They were always the team everyone wanted to knock off and at the same time wished to someday reach their level of excellence. The Tirabassi Excavators have always been the gold standard of Kenosha softball.That's right, sandwiched in between 3rd place finishes in '61 and '63; the Excavators were the American Softball Association world champions.

Suspected Illegal Immigrant Charged With Rape, Impregnating 10-Year-Old Girl

ST. ANTHONY, Idaho —  A suspected illegal immigrant has been charged with raping a 10-year-old girl who later gave birth in eastern Idaho.

The girl gave birth less than two weeks ago by caesarian section at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Fremont County Sheriff Ralph C. Davis and other authorities said. Officials would not disclose the gender, date of birth or paternity of the baby.  "I wouldn't have believed a 10-year-old could conceive in the first place," Davis said.  A hospital spokeswoman would not discuss the condition of the girl or the baby and would not say whether either was still in the hospital Wednesday.

Iraq is a very important part of securing the homeland, and it's a very important part of helping change the Middle East into a part of the world that will not serve as a threat to the civilized world, to people like -- or to the developed world, to people like -- in the United States.
