Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 4th Quarter
- The Bears lead by 4, and Rex Grossman seems to have his balls back for the moment. To start the 4th quarter, the Bears have a 1st and 10 from the Saints 45....
Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 3rd Quarter
- The Bears will have the ball to start the second half... Grossman drops back on first down, and picks up 17 yards to Berrian. Nice job by Berrian to go up and get it, and maybe the Bears will unshackle and let Rex be Rex from here on out. I don't know if it would be good for the Bears or not, but ...
Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 2nd Quarter
- So, the Saints fumbled three times in the first quarter, and lost two of them. I don't know if you want to blame nerves, cold weather, Drew Brees' lack of gloves, Sean Payton's Illinois upbringing, or George Bush's lack of care for black people... but they should probably get it figured out pretty...
Saints vs. Bears, NFC Championship Game: 1st Quarter
- A fellow named Chris Daughtry is singing the national anthem right now. I don't know who he is, but he's wearing a Bears scarf, and he looks like a white Hootie....

John Kerry's Soup Is At Stake
The stakes have been raised, though, for today's AFC Championship game. On the line are not only Peyton Manning's chances to become known as a non-choker, Tom Brady's reputation as the perfect human being, as well as a spot in the Super Bowl... but there's also caramel corn drizzled with milk chocol...

College Hoops Compendium: UCLA Is Kinda Good
• (2) UCLA 73, (12) Arizona 69. UCLA's now lost three straight Pac-10 games for the first time since Lute Olson's hair was... actually, I think that guy was born with a full head of shiny silver hair. It may actually just be a chrome plate at this point. UCLA didn't even have Luc Richard Mbah a Mout...

About Last Night...
• NBA: Pistons 91, Kings 74. It was Ron-Ron's first game back in the Palace since the incident. He played imaginary "catch" with some fans at courtside, which probably makes sense. To him. • Soccer: United States 3, Denmark 1. You can stuff that one in your gr nlangk l. • College Basketball: North C...
Someone Is Going To Coach The Steelers
But it might not be Mike Tomlin. I linked to an article yesterday that reported that Tomlin had the job, then Tomlin denied that that was true... and then ESPN's Chris Mortensen said that it was true, and so did everyone else... and last night, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review said the job belongs to R...
Finally, Rik Smits And Michael Irvin Come Together
Aside from a cocaine-infused party at a French-Canadian brothel, I can't think of many ventures that could bring together the likes of Michael Irvin, Jose Canseco, Kordell Stewart, Darryl Strawberry and Claude Lemieux. Those four are part of the cast for the new season of Pros vs. Joes on SpikeTV....

Update On The Dakar Death March Rally
It might be because I don't understand all the subtle nuances of motorcycle racing, but I can't imagine getting psyched up for a yearly sporting event at the end of which you know you'll be mourning someone's death. The Dakar Rally is an off-road endurance race that today claimed the life of a Frenc...

Mike Tomlin To Replace The Beloved Chin

The Rooney family was said to really admire Tomlin's defensive philosophies, his organizational skills, his refreshing ability not to bathe every single person he talk...
Today In The Premiership...
• Fulham 1-1 Tottenham. American Clint Dempsey saw his first action for Fulham today, coming off the bench in the 81st minute and... well, I don't think he did much of anything. He's listed in the match report as "Clinton Dempsey," which I think shows a lack of international respect for his gangsta ...
Horses Get Their Goose On
Controversy continues to shake the world of horsies who run fast. A Nebraska veterinarian is accused of injecting horses with vodka, I assume because it seems like a colossal waste of vodka, because I can't imagine why anyone would give a damn about horses being injected with vodka....
This Vagenas Is The Only One Not Looking Forward To Beckham's Entry
Not everyone in Los Angeles is thrilled about the impending arrival of David Beckham. Galaxy midfielder Peter Vagenas is feeling a little bit chafed and irritated, and I think his frustration might have something to do with the fact that Beckham will be earning roughly 500 times what Vagenas takes i...
