Extra Points: Looking For Rebirth

The one-hour flight from Greenville-Spartanburg to Raleigh-Durham a week ago Saturday left just enough time for one of the NFL Films documentaries that John Bunting is always showing his Tar Heel football teams. This one, Three Cheers for the Redskins, chronicled the rebuilding efforts of Allen in the nation's capital in the early 1970s. It opened and closed with the Hall of Fame coach talking of the misery of losing. Little did Bunting know when he scheduled the film for the team's entertainment on its return flight from Clemson how apropos it would be. (Tar Heel Blue)
