Colts vs. Ravens, 4th Quarter
- 2nd and 25 now, after a holding penalty on Ogden. A short completion leaves then with 3rd and 18, and at least getting into field goal range would be huge here. Again, it's short to Mike Anderson....

Colts vs. Ravens, 3rd Quarter
- We are back underway... the statistics by these two teams in the first half are remarkably similar. The different is six Colt points off two turnovers. I hope the second features one or more of those "touchdown" things....
Colts vs. Ravens, 2nd Quarter
- Stover from 41, to cut the lead in half... and he just squeezes it inside the upright. And Gumbel's right, ever since Tony Romo did what he did, I do always pay more attention to the snap and hold. And here's another commercial, which is fine, because at this rate, I'm assuming that they're not go...
Colts vs. Ravens, 1st Quarter
- I think I'm going to call CBS and just ask them to not show the game and give me 4 hours of Dan Marino and James Brown laughing about something Shannon Sharpe said. I can't get enough of that. We're still probably 15 minutes from kickoff. Get yourselves strapped in....

This Should Help Attract Free Agents
Here's something we don't have enough of in America: sports team owners who run prostitution rings. Mikhail Prokhorov, owner of the Euroleague basketball champs CKSA Moscow, was arrested on suspicion of running a prostitution ring. Seven 20-year-old Russian women were also held for questioning. I'm ...
Today In The Premiership...
• Chelsea 4-0 Wigan. Jose Mourinho spent the week pissing and moaning about injuries and not getting any new signings during the transfer window. Wigan's boss Paul Jewell would like him to stuff it. "I'd love to have his problems because at the end of the day, whatever side he puts out, it will be b...

In case you were looking for clues on whether or not Brett Favre was returning to the gridiron next year, don't let this one slip by you. Brett dropped his membership at the Oneida Golf & Country Club in Green Bay....
Ichiro's Rooting for the Bears Today
Seattle's just not good enough for him anymore. Ichiro had this to say recently to Sankei Sports, and it seems to indicate that he's none-too-thrilled with the way things are going in Seattle. Here, see for yourself:...

About Last Night...
• NBA: Supersonics 122, Jazz 114. Ray Allen had 54, the most by a Sonic since Fred Brown's magical 58-point night back in '74. • College Basketball: Creighton 62, Northern Iowa 54. It's a shame they couldn't adjust the schedule so the Ray Allen vs. Northern Iowa game could go into overtime. • NBA: L...
Giants vs. Eagles, 4th Quarter
- 3rd and 2 for the Giants from the Eagles 6, and Eli Manning just can't make anything happen. He fails to see a wide open Plax in the back of the endzone, and ends up throwing it away, which, I suppose, is all you could expect from Eli Manning. They settle for the field goal, and it's 20-13 Eagles ...

Giants vs. Eagles, 3rd Quarter
- The Eagles are getting the ball here to start the second half. And if they score here, it would force Eli Manning into a lot of passing situations, which would be fantastic for people who hate Eli Manning....
Lampley's Accuser Really Could Have Done Better Than Lampley
The woman who accused Jim Lampley of slapping her around has been identified, and it's... well, it's a nice pull on the part of Jim Lampley, that's what it is. Her name is Candice Sanders, and she was Miss California USA 2003. What she was doing with Jim Lampley, I couldn't tell you. She probably ha...
Giants vs. Eagles, 2nd Quarter
- The Giants are on pace for over 400 yards......
Giants vs. Eagles, 1st Quarter
- Alright, here we go. I'm expecting this Eagles/Giants game to be more eventful and more... disastrous. NFC East games tend to veer towards the absurd. This will not be a quality football game, but it will probably be fun....
