College Basketball: Cincinnati downed Connecticut, 71-69...Their return to the top 25 will be short lived for Northwestern as they fell to Illinois 89-83 in OT. Well it was fun for a while, huh?
College Football: Mike Leach is going to start his new year unemployed. Welcome to the recession Mikey...More light is being shed on Urban Meyer's health problems. The Florida head coach was rushed to the hospital with chest pains after the SEC championship game...Nebraska decimated Arizona, 33-0. I am guessing the Arizona marching band was probably doing better than the football team. (see: Arizona circa 1967)...Idaho stunned Bowling Green, 43-42. Bowling Green WR Freddie Barnes set a NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision record for most receptions in a single season in the loss.
Football: There's a lot of jawing going on for the final week of the NFL regular season. First you have Ochocinco running his mouth (what's new about that?)...And then there's Pittsburgh linebakcer LaMarr Woodley who is predicting that New England will lay down. Like it's ever a good idea to piss off Bill Belichick. He'll come to your house and beat you with the missing parts of sweatshirt sleeves...Look for more starters on the bench for the Colts this weekend...But don't look for Brandon Jacobs to be on the field for the Giants because his season is done...Not everyone is happy about having an uncapped year next season...Bill Cowher is reportedly not disgusted with taking the Buffalo job.
Hockey: It's never good when the Rangers don't have Henrik Lundqvist in goal, it's even worse when he gets chased in the first period. So it shouldn't come as any surprise that the Rangers got embarassed by the Flyers, 6-0. As if my stomach wasn't killing me enough, I had to sit through that debacle...Meanwhile across the river, the Devils were shutting down the Penguins, 2-0. I blame this all on the bus incident in Buffalo. They just haven't been the same since...The Bruins beat up the Thrashers, 4-0...The Sharks win streak hit six after they battled past the Capitals, 5-2...Marty Brodeur is heading to his fourth Olympics...While Teemu Selanne is going to his fifth...Canada edged the US, 2-1 in a women's exhibition...Don't forget as you're recovering tomorrow to tune into the Winter Classic on NBC!

Best of the Rest: It's getting ugly and the actual fight hasn't even started. Manny Pacquiao is suing Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sr. among others for making false and defamatory statements about him.
