What Made the Irish Famine So Deadly
The Great Hunger was a modern event, shaped by the belief that the poor are the authors of their own misery and that the market must be obeyed at all costs.

Another wild outcome with the home team sparking fire late. Bears get onside kick with 2 minutes to go, score their 1st TD—corner of the end zone catch—and it goes to OT. Hard hit on Packers QB and the next snap is fumbled on 4th down. Bears take over, and with a bomb to the end zone, win the game.

Seattle Seahawks, now *1*-172 when down by 15+ points in the 4th quarter... winning 38-37 in OT, overcoming a 16-pt deficit thanks to 3 2-pt conversions, a missed FG by the Rams, and a very questionable "backwards pass" call, in one of the wildest games in a season that has had a few of them. 😉
