It's The Mythical Sort Of Kinda A Little Bit Of A National Title Game
Well, jeez, it's finally time: The endless math problem that is the college football season at last ends tonight, in the Tostitos BCS Championship Game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Florida Gators.

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...
About Last Night...
• NFL. Seahawks 21, Cowboys 20. I sure hope that Carrie Underwood doesn't turn up soon with bruises all over her face. • College Basketball. (19) LSU 55, (14) UConn 49.

But we have to say: ...

The Royal We Is Back, And So Are We
If you were wondering what a man looks like after a 12 1/2-hour flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago, Chile, to Toronto to New York City — particularly when his luggage is still in Toronto, presumably being delivered by mounties this evening — this is what he looks like: Haggard, but full...
