Francis,

Your article about Marvin Harrison and his still being a free agent has a link on the website http://www.cbssports.com/nfl

That's pretty cool buddy. Obviously, you know what the article says, but I just found it neat that your article was on the NFL homepage on cbssports.com. See it for yourself.

Later duder!
