Houston Texans – Andre Johnson the Only One With Something to Play for
Not everything is about winning, at least not for the Houston Texans, heading into the final week of the NFL season carrying 13 consecutive losses and nothing to play for. Andre Johnson, the team’s star wide receiver for the last decade, has a bit more at stake, having the chance to become the first player with four seasons of 100 receptions and 1500 yards at least.

NBA on Christmas – Heat vs Lakers Predictions
The two biggest rating juggernauts in the NBA are each doing as most expected them to so far this season. The Miami Heat are among the best teams in the NBA even though it doesn’t seem like they’re trying too hard to maintain their status, while the Los Angeles Lakers are carrying on the path of decline, mostly without Kobe Bryant on the floor to help them.

Dallas Cowboys – Not Giving up on Tony Romo
Even though every sign points towards the Dallas Cowboys being unable to use Tony Romo in their season-deciding game against the Philadelphia Eagles, giving him an epidural injection shows they’re still not ready to give up on their starting quarterback, putting Kyle Orton on hold and signing Jon Kitna on board just as a precaution.

NBA on Christmas – Thunder vs Knicks Predictions
The New York Knicks can’t seem to get out of their early season funk, while the Oklahoma City Thunder are beating almost everything in sight. On paper, considering the talent involved and the form of both teams, this isn’t really a fair fight, but miracles do happen around this time of year.

Oregon State Beats Boise State – It’s Been a While
Winning the Hawai’i Bowl by beating Boise State 38-23 isn’t going to take away from the very poor finish Oregon State had to this season, but it’s probably quite a relief to win a bowl game for the first time since that awful Sun Bowl five years ago, maybe setting off the program with a good feeling into what hopefully will be a better next season.

NBA on Christmas – Bulls vs Nets Predictions
Things were supposed to be a little bit different when the schedule was planned, putting together the Chicago Bulls and the Brooklyn Nets to open the Christmas schedule. Instead of a hot blooded repeat of last year’s first round 7-game playoff series, we have two teams with a combined record of 19-34.

Detroit Lions Send Fans Playoff Tickets
It’s bad enough that the Detroit Lions have suffered through an awful collapse in the final six weeks of the season, they unintentionally pour some salt on their fan’s wounds by sending via mail playoff tickets to those who have ordered them, even though the team has no chance of making the postseason.

Tim Duncan Showing Off His Point Guard Skills
There have been few big men in the history of the NBA with the vision, basketball IQ and passing ability that Tim Duncan possesses. For a small moment in the 112-99 win for the San Antonio Spurs over the Toronto Raptors, he also showed he can dribble like a point guard.

Seattle Seahawks – Richard Sherman Keeps Proving He’s the Best Cornerback in the NFL
Richard Sherman added two more interceptions to his impressive tally this season, now leading the NFL with 8. One of the more astonishing thing about his numbers happens to do with the very low amount of times quarterbacks actually try and get the ball to the receiver he’s covering.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Isn’t the Only Thing Kevin McHale is Ruining
After almost three weeks of an injury keeping him out for most of the time, it would have been wiser to give Jeremy Lin less than 37 minutes in the 111-104 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. A good game from the point guard finally playing in his position was one among a few wasted away by head coach Kevin McHale who simply shows no ability to change, think or react to things during a game.
