With one game left and no chance at the playoffs, why don't you just call it a season Troy?...Lions QB Matthew Stafford underwent successful knee surgery...Saints defensive end Bobby McCray was charged with DUI early Tuesday morning.

Hockey: No Ryan Miller, no problem for the Sabres who overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat the Penguins, 4-3...The Coyotes topped the Canucks, 3-2 (SO) for their 10th straight home record.
