Undrafted by NFL, Garcia spent the next five seasons in the Canadian Football League, put up eye-popping numbers in the last four, and finally squeezed his way into the big time. He got his break in San Francisco when Steve Young went .down with a concussion in 1999, turned in three conSecutive Pro Bowl seasons, but was looking for a job after the 2003 season and a fallout with then-teammate Terrell Owens. During the week leading to Monday's game, Owens, who wore out his welcome in Philadelphia before moving on to Dallas, said, "I don'f have anything against the guy." Which was funny, since T.O. ripped Garcia in a book and a handful of interviews, on one occasion even questioning his sexuality. Right. Before the game, though, Owens · also told ESPN he would like nothing more than to catch .a late touchdown pass · to ruin Philadelphia's season for the second year ill a row. That was a not-so-sub• tie reference to Owens' run-. ning feud with former team; mate and Philly quarterback Donovan McNabb, which ultimately wrecked the Eagles' season. But in a roundabout way. McNabb may have gotten th~ last lau~h. Eagles coach Andy Retd went looking for a backup for McNabb las! spring and took a chance by stgning Garcia on the rebound from a brief, disas; trous stop in Detroit. It's n1:1 exaggeration to say Garcia looked washed up in the pre, season: However, Reid kept both him and A.J.

The quarterback had mastered the 49ers' version of the West Coast offense and his teacher from those days, ·Marty Mornhinweg, was now offensive . coordinator for the Eagles. There are plenty of ways to quantify Garcia's recuperallve powers during the winning streak- he's been the league's highest-rated passer in that stretch, toialing almost I, I00 yards and nine touchdowns - but it's been the lel\dership that Owens so often .mocked that's rail ied the Eagles to his side.

All he needed was a chance. It's no surprise the Eagles and Garcia - two months shy of his 37th birthday and coming off failed stints in Cleveland and Detroit - are trying to stay stuck in the present. Barely a month ago, Philadelphia looked like NFC East roadkill at 5-6. With a win next week over Atlanta, Philadelphia can clinch its fifth diviston title in six seasoris.

The nation has witnessed just two presidential st.ate funerals in over three decades - those of Ronald Reagan in 2004 and Lyndon a Johnson in 1973. Nixon's family, acting on his wishes; opted out of the Washington traditions when he died in 1994, his p_residericy shortened and forever tainted by tht Watergate scandal. 'The nation's aPpreciation for the contributions that President Ford made throughout his long and welllived life are more than we could ever have anticipated,'' Betty Ford said in a statement thanking the multitudes who offered condolences. "'J'hese kindnesses have made this difficult time more bearable .." Ford is· to become the II th president to lie in state in the Rotunda. He served his Michigan district in the House for 25 years, rising to the vice presidency when scandal drove Spiro Ag'new from office and then to the presidency when Watergate consumed Nixon. One open question was how involved the funeral procession to the Capitol, often the most stirring of Washington's rituals of mourning, would be for a man whose modest ways and brief presidency set him apart from those honored with elaborate parades. Pliwners are guided . by the wishes of the family (!nd any instructions from the president himself on how elaborate the events will be, how much of it takes place in Washington and more. The Military District of Washington turned to the task quietly but with increasing urgency as Ford went through several bouts., of ill health in recent years. VVhat, happens in Washington, particularly, unfolds according to guidelines that go back to the mid-1800s and have been shaped over time. No longer are government buildings draped in black, as they were in the time of Abraham Lincoln and before.

American history. Historian A.J. Scopino at Central Connecticut State University says it's "a splendid work of social and cultural history wherei'n religion earns its proper place." , That religion a;;pect distinguishes "Go<ld Land" from competitors. One cannot understand America and i~nore its ever-present ptety, so different from Europe. This textbook also fits the trend to treat the arts, science, minorities, women's history and popular culture alongside . the usual political and military power games. Though "Good Land" is carefully nonsectarian and notes religion's influence for both good (civil rights) and ill (witchcraft trials), it may prove a tough sell at secular universities. · --- Other random discoveries: • Thou~h Columbus believed his explorations were divinely ordained, he nearly lost royal sponsorship because a committee of clergy, Spain's only educated scholars, opposed him, but he was backed by a Franciscan friar who had Queen Isabella's ear. • Ever wonder why Brazil became a Portuguese colony while Spain claimed OSTUNQ FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (740) 992·2156 • FAX (740) 992·2157 . www.mydallysentlnel.com In 1776, the first draft of the Declaration of Independence protested that Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

That division was worked out in response to the pope's carving up of the world map the year after Columbus sailed. • In the early 1600s, King James denounced users of the "fijthie noveltie" of tobacco for "sinning against God, harming your selves both in persons and goods." Virginia's governor fretted that farmers endangered their health by raising profitable tobacco instead of needed vegetables. • Up in Massachusetts, meanwhile, pioneer colonists were declaring that American Indians held property rights to any land they cultivated and maintained. The basis cited for this law? Genesis I :28 and 9:1, and Psalm 115: • "The first individual to bring some degree of unity to the colonies was not a politician," we're told, but evangelist George Whitefield . He drew huge audiences from Boston to Georgia beginning in 1739. • The states approved the U.S. Constitution by a mere eyelash, and the~ was considerable QllpOsihon to the rule that "no religious test shall ever be required" to hold public ~ffice. • As of 1827, the U.S. South had I06 ·anti-slavery soc1eties compared with only 24 in the Nmth, and Southern agitators outnumbered Northerners nearly four to one. Later, abolitionism swelled in the Northeast and "the primary ·motivation was religious." • FOR's New Deal was a big deal. But many of its ideas originated in prior decades , with fervently Protestant presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and the 1919 social reform pi at form from America's Roman Catholic . bishops. Back to Jefferson. As a public official he championed freedom of conscience but personally held fervent religious opinions. He literally took scissors to the New Testament to delete miraculous parts he disliked while leaving moral teachings. He decided to establish the University of Virginia because the College of William and Mary refused to abandon its Episcopal Church ties. He predicted with wishful thinking that there wasn:t a youth living in America "who will not die a Unitarian," oblivious to the eniergi ng evangelical movement that has persisted in various forms to the . present day. e::• ~ ' .. nobody believed him.) The panel agreed that Clinton might be able to finesse the issue. Then Tucker said something ·remarkable. "I also think that the peacenik wing of the Democratic Party may have learned a lesson from their failures in Connecticut, where Ned Lamont lost in the general election to Joe Lieberman," she said. · "The simple fact of the matter is, every senous Democrat who was in the Senate at the time voted for the war." Nobody contradicted her. The panel digressed to the titillating topic of Clinton's odd marriage, and whether she fits the "traditional model of what a woman should be." Excuse me, but why do we need these people? "Peaceniks?" Who's that? Almost nobody opposed going into Afghanistan after Osama bin Laden. It's the administration's failure to finish the job that's put the Uniied States in danger of simultaneously losing two wars. . On Iraq, Somerby provides a fact check: " In the Senate vote of Oct. II , 2002, 21 Democratic senators voted against the war resolution.'' (Also one Republican and an independent.) Among the nays was Sen. Russ Feingold, D· Wis., who recently questioned the wisdom of a comm1ss10n composed "entirely of people who did ~not have the judgment to oppose this lniq war in the first pl ace, and did not have the j udgment to realize it was not a wise move in the tight against terrorism ." (Chairman James Baker privately warned Bush against it.) Also voting against Iraq were Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.; Carl Levin, DMich.; Kent Conrad , DN.D.; and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Failure in Connecticut? Because antiwar Democrats won Montana, Virginia and four other states, all will chair key Senate committees in 2007. Not serious people, Tucker thinks. Presumably along with the 126 Democratic congressmen ·(and six Republicans) who also voted against this bloody experiment in farright utopianism. ·Actually, it's unlikely Tucker really thinks that. Most often, the stances taken by TV pundits have more to do with establishing their own position within the herd than any outside reality. They can't be both~ ered to get even basic facts straight, even amid a disaster substantially caused by the news media's failure to apply appropriate profes- . sional skepticism to begin with. ··Because our modern elites are so constantly wrong," Somerby believes, "they must constantly disappear those who were right. Result? Inside a Washington hearing room. I 0 well-known people who were wrong from the start tell the nation what to do next." Far too often, alas, the news media are no exception.

The 2-1 decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned three lower court decisions and could help authorities pinpoint t)]e source of steroids m baseball. It could also bolster the perjury case against the star outfielder, who is under investigation for telling a grand jury he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs. Investigators seized computer files containing the test results in 2004 during raids of labs involved in MLB's testing program. The samples were collected at baseball's direction the previous year as part of a survey to gauge the prevalence of steroid use. Players and owners agreed in their labor contract that the results would be confidential , and each player was assigned a code number to be matched with his riame. Quest Diagnostics of Teterboro, N.J., one of the largest drug-testing firms in the nation, analyzed more than 1,400 urine samples from players that season. Comprehen sive Drug Testing of Long Beach, Calif., coordinated the collection of specimens and compiled the data. Armed with d~ta from both labs, govemment officials now can match the positive te st samples . with the players' names.

Florida must fmd a way to put the clamps on Buckeyes quarterback . BY RusTY MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS . COLUMBUS - Twelve teams this year have tried and the same number have failed to shut down Ohio State's Heisman Trophywinning quarterback, Troy Smith. Next up is No. 2 Florida. What the Gators do to try · to hem in Smith and how Ohio State counteracts will likely determine the winner of the national championship game on Jan. 8 in Glendale, Ariz. When asked what he eJlpected Florida's defense to do against him, Smith said, ''Pretty much the same ways that the average defense tries to stop , any offense. "It's about getting ·pressure on the quarterback and stopping the run. Forcing · the offense to make mistakes that they don't normally make," he said. Smith is a two-way threat who can beat a team with his preferred weapon- his str,ong and accurate right arm - or by running the ball. He has done less of the latter this year than ever before, 1:1ut the threat is still there. .His versatility is creating Steroid APphoto In this Oct. 28 file photo, Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith · (10) runs against Minnesota's John Jakel, right, Saturday, during a college football game In Columbus. a lot of long "nights for Florida's coaching staff.
