Pink Jersey...Gross!

Hey kids, sorry for the lack of posting, I haven't been feeling super well. (and it isn't because Jeremy Shockey broke his leg)

Football Update:
The Bears kept super rookie Adrian Peterson in check for 3 quarters but in the end, Peterson was able to squeak by with a game winning TD giving the Vikings the 20-13 win over Chicago.

For a full recap of the weekend's games click here.

Maybe Jessica Simpson wasn't the only reason, Tony Romo had a bad day on Sunday, he also was nursing an injured thumb. Although we'd rather he dump the blonde bimbo than fix the thumb.

In other Cowboys' news, they'll be without safety Roy Williams for a game after the NFL suspended him for his third horse-collar call.

The Jets Kellen Clemens is iffy with an injured rib.

Tony Dungy will not rest his starters even though the Colts have secured a number 2 seed and a bye for the first round of the playoffs.

Five Falcons players were fined a total of $47,500 for uniform violations that stemmed from demonstrations that supported former teammate Michael Vick.

The Bills suffered the Red Wings travel drama on Sunday after their plane got stuck in the mud on a runway in Cleveland. The team was forced to take a bus home on Monday.

Following their first win of the season on Sunday, Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga said he is not actively looking to sell the team.

Watch out StubHub, the NFL and ticketmaster are treading on your territory.

Baseball Update:
(So I haven't posted in a while so some of this news, is a couple days old.)
The A's have traded Dan Haren and Conoor Robertson to the Arizona Diamondbacks for six prospects.

Speaking of the Astors, a report says that Houston has made an offer to oft-injured Mark Prior.

The Rays have signed veteran outfielder Cliff Floyd to a one year, $2.75 million deal.
