Giants Fall Apart In Fourth Quarter; Steelers Have Already Fallen

The NFC East Division leaders going into this Sunday's game were sure to have the lead at game's end as well. Except that Eli Manning and company didn't expect the Tennessee Titans to score 24 unanswered points and take the game away from them. This leaves Dallas in the lead of the contentious NFC...

What The Hell Happened? Mountaineers Upset...

And so am I. I didn't see the game and, now, I am glad that I didn't. No. 7 West Virginia was upset by little University of South Florida 24-19. It seemed that USF stopped Slaton and the rest of WVU's ground game couldn't make up the deficit. Slaton carried 18 times for a total of 43 yards. To give... Sign in to see full entry.

Cowboys On A Roll

Tony Romo led the Cowboys to a romping 38-10 victory today in their annual Thanksgiving Day game, tying a club record of five touchdown passes in a single game held by Troy Aikman. The city is talking playoffs, hoping Super Bowl. It may be a bit premature, but it's good to have hope in the Big D... Sign in to see full entry.

For All The Left Turn (NASCAR) Addicts

Jimmie Johnson won the Nextel Cup yesterday even though Greg Biffle won the race, his second win of the season. Johnson, who had finished second in the Nextel standings before (twice) was beginning to get the reputation of being a "bridesmaid". But that rep has been scuttled. He beat out second...

A Quick Word About The New BCS Poll

Michigan gave their all against OSU yesterday and came up a couple points short. Today the BCS Poll left them at No. 2, barely edging out USC. Many are already calling for a rematch. I'm all for it. And I don't want to mention Michigan again until I say a word about the passing of one of the... Sign in to see full entry.

The 'Boys Hand Indy Their First Loss!!

You knew it was coming. You knew it because Peyton and crew were just eeking out the merest victories. And Dallas, who have admittedly been playing below their potential, decided to be the team to bring the undefeated Colts down. In a game where neither team looked like they wanted to win (Indy...

What A Game!! Ohio State Now Only Undefeated Team

Well, OSU prevailed in a hardfought, surprisingly high-scoring game, defeating Michigan 42-39. Michigan had the heart, just not enough time. And then No. 7 Rutgers, the last contender for undefeated status, goes down hard to a tough Cincinnati team who had faced four ranked teams this year and lost.... Sign in to see full entry.

Chicago Back On Top, Indy Still Unde, And Who The Hell Is Phillip Rivers?

Well, Chicago started out a bit rough but bounced back strong against a tough New York Giants team. Down by three at halftime, Chicago dominated the second half. Devon Hester tied a league record with a 108-yard touchdown runback from a missed Giants field goal. Final score: Chicago 38, Giants 20.... Sign in to see full entry.

Trade Rumors Of Owens True?

Someone told me the other day that they had heard that Terrell Owens was being considered in a trade for Randy Moss of Oakland. Now, I'd heard Terry Bradshaw throw this up as a solution on the Fox Pre-game Show a couple weeks ago, but I hadn't heard anything about it since. Bradshaw's point, that...

Upsets Of The Day: Texas Loses To Kansas State And Auburn Loses To Georgia

No. 4 Texas fell to unranked Kansas State today, 45-42. And you knew Kansas State had it in them when they forced Nebraska into overtime. And although I've said a couple times that Georgia was overrated, I never said they weren't good. No. 5 Auburn was trounced today by unranked Georgia, 37-15.... Sign in to see full entry.
