TD Ameritrade. Forbes. Is this a sports blog or the Wall Street Journal?

The New York Times has a story about former Dartmouth assistant Joe Moglia being named head coach of the United Football League's Virginia Destroyers. From the story:
Joe Yukica, the coach at Dartmouth during Moglia’s tenure there, said that he did not think Moglia would have difficulty reacquainting himself with coaching a team. “He’s got a good feel for football, and the techniques stay with you,” he said.

Although the league’s news release said that Moglia had been Dartmouth’s defensive coordinator, Yukica said he was a linebackers coach and had the best defensive knowledge of his assistants and the most input into the defensive game plan.

Forbes, meanwhile, has a story about the best bang for your buck among NFL quarterbacks and that honor goes to former Harvard QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, now of the Buffalo Bills.
