More AD
The man's nickname is AD, for "All-Day." He lived up to his nickname on Sunday against the Packers, as he tookover the game on the last drive.
If he can stay healthy, he may very well go down as the greatest running back ever. Better than Brown, Payton, Sanders, Dickerson, Smith, Tomlinson. He has a long way to go, but I would not bet against this guy, someday, becoming the most legendary of the legends.
Video from his 192 effort in the Packers game, in which he took the lead in NFL rushing yardage, here.

Foreign op-ed reaction
From the Times of London.
On Tuesday night, with a countdown to precisely 10pm Chicago time, American democracy transformed in an instant not only the hopes and expectations of African Americans, but also the self-image of their country and their country’s image in the world. . .
One in 50 people on the planet voted in this election, but it was truly a global political event. This is not just because of the openness of the American electoral system and of its voters’ yearnings. It is not just because of the theatricality of the marathon campaigns, or because, despite its soaring deficits and disastrous loss of prestige in the Iraq war, the US remains the most powerful nation on earth.
The world has been fascinated and profoundly moved by this election most of all because of what America is — a nation founded on universal aspirations, and thus a mirror to humanity.
