		He'll need to focus on the fundamentals of adulthood during the offseason, and while football ought to be part of the solution, it must remain in the background for the time being.
		It was as if the football gods had decreed that the Browns, having given everybody their entertainment buck's worth, should now resign themselves to form holding true.

		Now I know that his father, who had the same name, was a football coach, best known for letting Richard Nixon call a play for the Redskins, and for a management philosophy called "The future is now," sort of a prototype for the Bush tax policy.
		For those of you who follow football, George Allan, Sr., was well known for trading draft picks he didn't have to unsuspecting teams and for a paranoid fear of the other teams spying on his practices (although that's not that uncommon in the NFL).

		If, by 2008, there are no further attacks on America and Iraq is going well, the issues may well be domestic.
