I question the timing: The AIDS virus invaded the United States in about 1969 from Haiti, carried most likely by a single infected immigrant who set the stage for it to sweep the world in a tragic epidemic, scientists said on Monday. Michael Worobey, a University of Arizona evolutionary biologist, said the 1969 U.S. entry date is earlier than some experts had believed. The timeline laid out in the study

Brett Favre Living Legend pre-game stuff out of the way. Packers with no rushing vs Broncos with no rushing defense on Monday Night. Packers aren’t good enough to be 5-1, but here they are.
