On a slightly different note

The SF Chronicle reports on the resigning of fullback Moran Norris:

Although Norris' play declined in 2007 from '06, at his best he's a capable lead blocker at 6-foot-1 and 250 pounds. Even more important, he was Gore's closest friend on the team when he was here previously.

Uhhmmmm, really? The most important thing was that Gore needed his best friend back? Was he lonely in the huddle?

I realize it isn't a political post, but damn it, people, I need answers!
