To Watch Tonight: Just You and Me Now, Sport
What to watch while taking the Plaxico Burress gun safety lesson from an Ohio police chief...
• College Basketball: UNC-Asheville at North Carolina (6:30 pm ET) [FSN] - In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, was this trip really necessary?
• News: "60 Minutes" (7:00ish pm ET) [CBS] - Michael Phelps will break his next world record by running on the water. Even Andy Rooney won't find much to gripe about.
• Movie: Manhunter (8:00 pm ET) [TCM] - "I know that I'm not smarter than you." "Then how did you catch me?" "You had disadvantages." "What disadvantages?" "You're insane."
• Movie: The Runaway (8:00 pm ET) [TCM] - As explained at News From Me, this is a 1962 Cesar Romero movie that never reached the theaters for reasons not fully explained. So, y'know, put on your best tuxedo T-shirt and pretend you're going to the world premiere.
• NFL: Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings (8:15 pm ET) [NBC] - The NFC North has the feel of one of those elementary school track and field days where everyone somehow gets a ribbon. Except Detroit. -
High School
High School Team Loses Championship to Inadvertent Whistle, Grand Conspiracy
Your high school football team gives up a field goal with six seconds left in the sectional championship game, leaving them down by two. In an unlikely sensational turn of events, the ensuing kickoff is returned 50 yards for a game-winning touchdown with no time on the clock. Just as the celebration rolls through the stands, you realize your team has stopped jumping excitedly. Why, what could have caused them to... oh, the referee blew his whistle inadvertently and ended the game before the run took place. So sorry, Vacaville (CA) Christian High School! Them's the breaks.

FSU Fan Could Be Charged With Being Cranky, Missing Bedtime
Now this is no home-field advantage oncesoever: when a stray Florida Gators fan broke out the car keys to make noise in the face of an FSU Seminoles (and when the hell did this start? And do Cameron Crazies linger over the BMW keychain as they shake them at UNC fans?) in Tallahassee yesterday, the Seminoles fan did what every sane person would do: take away the toy of the naughty Gator fan. Of course, now that fan could be charged with "robbery by sudden snatching". What happened? Did the Gator fan think the keys didn't exist anymore because he or she couldn't see them? More » -

College
University Perfumes Smell Like Late-Teen School Spirit
We all know how your pheromones work. You get one whiff of Michael Jordan cologne or Derek Jeter's jock strap and you're hooked. You'll sleep with anyone doused in pure pre-packaged pro athlete. But what about those of you that root for college sports? How will you know what to drunkenly pursue into the men's bathroom? Thankfully, marketing has saved the day and you now have the ability to purchase perfume that smells just like your old school. More » -
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune has an article about hunters butchering their own killed deer in the Sunday Star-Tribune. On the Web site, there's an instructional video. We're pretty sure StarTribune.com could kick the snot out of Deadspin any time it wanted. And then gut it with a filleting knife. [Star-Tribune]

Utah Jazz's Family Ticket Pack Packs More Family
Many NBA teams have a four-pack family plan on quieter nights, perhaps against less popular opponents. You know, tickets, hot dogs, maybe Cokes... the usual. By our quick count, over a third of the league brandishes such a package. (Here's a hint: if your team was already selling out games despite being lousy, you don't have a family pack.) However, the Utah Jazz had to make certain adjustments to make it work for them: More » -

Brian Piccolo Would Have Brought World Peace by 1994
In a story ostensibly about Lee Corso's shyness about being the recruiter to bring the first black athlete into the ACC back in '63 (and, yes, you should take a few moments to consider that) and chock full o'quotes from Corso deflecting credit, we are reminded yet again that Brian Piccolo (of "Brian's Song" fame) was the baddest man on the south (Loop) side of Chicago, Leroy Brown aside. All he did was silence thousands of racist Wake Forest students with one move. More »1:30 PM on Sun Nov 30 2008

Eric Moulds Allegedly Gives Autograph Seeker Knuckle Sandwich, No Autograph
A combination of WGR-550 AM in Buffalo and the Buffalo News (as collated by First Time Caller, Long Time Listener) have reported that Eric Moulds, former Bills wide receiver, allegedly slugged a man in the face early Friday morning because he wouldn't step the hell off and stop asking him for an autograph and telling him how great he was. We did the same at Will Leitch's book signing in Chicago last winter, though we should point out we didn't hit anyone with our blogging hand. That's the moneymaker. More »1:00 PM on Sun Nov 30 2008

For Your Viewing Pleasure: How to Stuff a Wild Deadspin
• 3:00 — Movie: In the Valley of Elah [MAX] - Woman stands topless in front of you... "ma'am" could be taken as an insult.
• 3:30 — Golf: LG Skins Game, Back Nine [ABC] - After nine holes, Not Tiger is leading Not Tiger while Not Tiger has yet to earn a skin yet. If you're a betting reader, we'd take Not Tiger for the back nine. Or, you know, a nap. We'd take a nap.
• 4:00 — Nonsense: Holiday Celebration on Ice [NBC] - The conception is practically non-existent and you'll probably have to wait for decent execution until spring, but at least it's not the Skins Game.
• 4:15 — Movie: Pajama Party [TCM] - Tommy Kirk plays a Martian that has problems adjusting to normal society. How do we put this... "Martian" is a euphemism. Like if Todd Haynes directed a beach movie. Yes. -

Morning Blogdome: Ana Ivanovic Loves You Just the Way You Are
• Ana Ivanovic combines forces with UNICEF to create a super-powerful robot against being mean to others. Billy Joel approves... mostly because she's safely under the half+7 rule he hates so much. [SPORTSbyBROOKS] More » -

The Best Defense Is Actually Defensive in Nature
The fine, upstanding Deadspin reader that provided this photo also added a caption: "I will have to call BS though... these women live in OREGON." How could he forget the Portland Rose Garden? Why, Oregon might well be synonymous with roses! That is, if UCLA can now beat USC because Oregon State could only muster 38 points against Oregon. We all know that's not remotely enough to sniff victory, leading to a 65-38 loss and a need for Rick Neuheisel to save the day. We know what that smells like. More » -

Wherein We Probe the Phelps Phenomenon on DUAN
So Michael Phelps has chosen the Vegas nightclub worker and oft-naked Caroline Pal (the one on the right) to take home to mother after two months of dating. (The link will take you to proof of the oft-naked part if nothing else.) We don't have to imagine Mom's surprise face; we saw it eight times or so in China. TMZ has the "facts" on this event and we invite you to follow the hyperlinked trail for more on this crucial bit of news. If you'll follow us after the jump, though, we have a question for you, gentle Deadspin reader. More » -

To Watch Tonight: Woo! Alright! We're Being Invaded!
What to watch while creating your Christmas ornaments out of reindeer poo...
• College Football: Kentucky at Tennessee (6:30 pm ET) [ESPN2] - If you lash these two rosters together, you might get one decent Top 25 squad. We won't comment on whether this would be true of the two states.
• College Football: Oklahoma at Oklahoma State (8:00 pm ET) [ABC] - Those whom George Bodenheimer has so joined together for ratings, let no man put asunder. A new NUMB3RS episode will take care of that.
• College Football: Notre Dame at USC (8:00 pm ET) [ESPN] - Notre Dame is already down 17-0.
• WTF: Austin City Limits - Coldplay (8:00 pm ET) [PBS] - ... what?
• Movie: The Last Starfighter (8:30 pm ET) [HBO Family] - We've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds. -

So this happened. Apparently, the victor receives the spoils of band instruments when Kansas and Missouri clash. We're pretty sure this doesn't compensate fully for Bleeding Kansas, but it just might make up for Leftoverture. More » -

Your finals at this moment: Va Tech 17, Va Techless 14; Cincy 30, Syracuse 10; Clemson 31, South Carolina 14; NC State 38, Miami 28. The fights for Georgia and Kansas City continue to tighten with 9ish minutes left. Also, no one's resigned in the last hour or so, despite all the screaming we've heard from you that they should. Now let's hear from you magnificent angry bastards: More » -
