When
my editor asked me to write a piece about the year that was 2001, I was
lost for words. The year was filled with dramatic events. As a matter of fact,
too dramatic. We had former Bucs QB Trent Dilfer and the Ravens
winning the Superbowl. The Diamondbacks with Schilling and
Johnson winning the World Series. George W. Bush became the
43rd White House tennant, after the closest and most contested election
in US history.
