With college football’s regular season winding down, the annual parade of underachieving coaches being shown the door has begun. Here is
Staci Lowe got the surprise of her life at a Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday when fiancé William Bell, an Army staff sergeant who wasn’t expected home from Iraq until later in the week, ran onto the field during halftime.
