The Story of the Plott Hound: Strike & Stay The History Press
Price: $22.99 $22.99

Q: It seems problematical that for the past decade the season seems to have a Cinderella ending? Publicity seems to be the maiin priority with the League and the outwit way to make income is with creating plotts. After 911 the Patriots beat the Steelers to win the Super Bowl, last year the Steelers won- Bettis' job ended dreamlike and they also had the biggest comeback in NFL season history. Finally, this is the year to not only have the first black administrator coach to contend but...

A: You do nurture truly valid points, but I am not a big conspiracy fan. However, after seeing so many calls (and blatant non- calls) by some officials, it sometimes does detect one think.
The officials, like it or not, can control the flow of any game- any time that they want to.
I've followed football for many years and I have to plainly say that this 2006 season was the worst year for officiating that I can remember.

You would be making this Precise SAME CLAIM if the Saints had won today too. It doesn't matter who wins, there is always a story to be told.

I don't improvise it's rigged, but I do think there are way too many rules, things just aren't simple anymore. Fumbles aren't fumbles for one persuade or another, catches aren't catches either, and officials are way too involved.

No way. There are too many players in the nfl to have it be rigged. Alot of them it is there conjure up to win a superbowl. Most of them cant even get along with their coach, i doubt they would listen to someone telling them to lose a game. Its just too hard to rig an express sport.

You guys shouldnt be so realistic on the guy, never say never. I doubt that there is any "rigging" going on, however you cant rule out that is is possible for refs to win or lose a contest......so you never know.

Had it been rigged, they would have gotten the note-good story, the Saints, into the Super Bowl.

And how do you get that the Steelers had the "biggest comeback in NFL season portrayal"?

Renaissance romance: Couple truly married to their work Annapolis Capital

31.07.10 |

It was love at first act for Mary Ann Jung and Tom Plott of Arnold, who met onstage at the Maryland Renaissance Festival more than 20 years ago and have been together ever since.

Plott was playing Robert Dudley, a favorite friend of Queen Elizabeth's, and Jung portrayed his love, Lettice Knollys.

"I didn't want to be at rehearsal," Jung said, smiling at Plott as she reminisced. "Then I walked up and (saw Tom) and said, 'Oh, I'm in love!' "

She was being a bit sarcastic initially, but the two did soon start dating. They eventually married in 1996 and all the while kept working at the Renaissance festival. This is actually Jung's 30th year there. Plott has "only" put in 22 - the year he met Jung was his first appearance at the Crownsville event. He came there from the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
