al-Qaeda was responsible for Jets WR Chrebet getting injured at preseason, and Testaverde getting turf toe in the first game in 1999! They, they planted that girl in Kobe Bryant’s hotel room! And, and they also put Jayson Blair in the _New York Times_! And they are responsible for continuing the Curse on the Red Sox, previously maintained by Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, Joe Dimaggio, Enos Slaughter, Mickey Mantle, Bob Gibson, Pete Rose, Bucky Dent, Mark McGuire, Mookie Wilson, Wade Boggs, Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, and Roger Clemens. ---
