		Given that no quarterback finished the 2003 or 2002 NFL Europe seasons near that 100 mark, the achievements of the 2004 group of quarterbacks are all the more impressive.

	Why you can't show the NFL on Saturday. - By Brendan I. Koerner - Slate Magazine
		The Miami Dolphins' season opener against the Tennessee Titans—a 17-7 loss for the Ricky Williams-less hosts—was moved from Sunday to Saturday, to ensure that Hurricane Ivan wouldn't interfere with the game.
		A league spokesman said that the NFL was merely trying to "operate within the spirit" of a 1961 federal law on sports broadcasting.
		But in 1973, Congress passed a law requiring that the flout be lifted if the game was sold out 72 hours prior to kickoff.
