All things considered, Bruce has opined that throwing the poor jet-lagged sod straight into a team of players he's never met before would be a mite unfair.
The trouble was, "Hannibal" was the obvious thing to chat about, but every "Hannibal" synapse in Sir Anthony's poor, jet-lagged brain seemed fried, after having talked about it in recent days in Paris, Rome, London, Berlin and Madrid, on just about every television channel in the world.
I tried to pretend like I was too busy, not poor, to jet off to Toronto or Portland later that week to do it, and instead made plans to go meet her in Boston a month later.
Indeed, the well-known spreading (or dispersion) rate anomaly refers to the fact that traditional models do reasonably well in predicting the spreading rate of a planar jet but perform unexpectedly poor for rounds jets.
Coach Herman Edwards said the Jets' poor first-quarter performance helped stir up the home crowd.
The Steelers started with outstanding field position on several occasions because of the Jets' poor coverage on punts.
