| Kats Fall to Destroyers 58-56 in Opener
The Nashville Kats started the 2007 season with a bang, but eventually fell to the Columbus Destroyers 58-47 in the season opener for both teams at the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The Kats started the season right by scoring on the third offensive play of the game on a 33-yard pass completion from Kats quarterback Clint Stoerner to wide receiver Cornelius Bonner. The Destroyers answered quickly with a 53-yard kickoff return and then a five-yard touchdown pass. After a failed Nashville drive, Kats defensive back Keon Raymond got the ball back to the offense by intercepting a Columbus pass. Nashville fullback Dan Alexander made Columbus pay scoring on a six-yard rush. The Kats missed the extra point, but held a 13-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Rampage didn't stay down long though on a points-filled second quarter.

Why ID woman who found baby?
Editors took plenty of flak for identifying the woman who recently discovered a partially mummified baby boy wrapped in a Jan. 9, 1957, edition of The New York Daily News inside a suitcase packed in a larger suitcase.
