The New York Times writes about Harvard alum Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is approaching Sid Luckman's record of 137 NFL touchdown passes by an Ivy League product. The Times notes that the Ivy League has . . .. . . produced 14 of the 44 presidents (and some decent tight ends and safeties, too). But only 25 quarterbacks have appeared in N.F.L. games, and eight played before the end of World War II.In case you are wondering, Dartmouth's Jay Fiedler threw 69 touchdowns between 1995 and 2005. Big Green alum Jeff Kemp tossed 39 between 1981 and '91.
