Let's get to it: ROBERT WITKOWSKY FROM HATBORO, PA: What is the status of Anthony McFarland as far as contributing to the running game? With all of the Steelers' running game woes, why hasn't he played a bigger part in games? Was he a bust pick? ANSWER: Whoa. Slow down.

Round 2, Pick 2, at the start of the second day of drafting, is a prime pick, but teams can miss on a player here as well as hit on a 10-year starter with Pro Bowl skills. The Jets, for instance, have had only one No. 34 overall choice in their history, and that was to take Louisville QB Browning Nagle in 1991. Nagle came to the Big Apple with the prospect of fighting then ninth-year pr...

LETTER FROM ISTANBUL: An American Life — Pap’s Papers My wife and I traveled to Pennsylvania for Christmas in the winter of 2015. It was the first time I’d been home in many years, and it was Ozge’s first time in America. We attended the Christmas party at my grandfather’s house, an annual tradition that goes way back.
