BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Now that ‘World Cup Fever’ is over and done with here in the US, it is time for Flyer Fans to retreat back into sports hibernation mode until the Red and Blue Game. Let’s face it: there ain’t a helluva lot of newsworthy stuff going on in Flyerland at the present time. With that fact in mind “FTS” brings you the following news items, totally devoid of any Flyer content whatsoever.
