Paul Weyrich, who died Thursday, was buried yesterday. There are two warnings he has left for those who believe that this country must return to its roots as it faces the moral, legal, financial, and defense-related challenges ahead.

EagleBank Bowl Navy (+3.0) vs. Wake Forest (-3.0) Navy is a tough team to cap, as it really just comes down to how well they execute. If they run the ball as effectively as they are capable of and play well on defense, they are a tough team for anyone to beat. Two straight shutout victories to close out the season can vouch for that. But I think the strong finish made their number a little too low here; Wake has a great defense and a strong enough passing game to score on Navy.

Barack Obama will be sworn into office using President Abraham Lincoln's Bible, the first time it has been used since its original use in 1861. Perhaps the news will snuff out the false rumors that Obama would choose the Koran. Or maybe it will distract people from the Rick Warren pick for a few minutes.
