By Sara Amato · Tuesday, Nov. 27,2007 1:45 a.m.

Lynch a ‘good’ hire

By Matt Dollinger · Monday, Nov. 26,2007 11:37 p.m.

When Bill Lynch is at a loss for words, he has a repetitive, almost lovable defense mechanism to deflect attention. A particularly tough defeat leads to Lynch praising a “good football team.” An impressive performance by an opponent would lead to the anointment of a “good football player.”
