Rare Big Game Looms for Steelers and Bengals
Everything has come together for the Bengals, who would be 7-1 except for a fluke touchdown at the end of the opener by the Broncos. The league fined Ochocinco $20,000 on Friday for jokingly trying to "bribe" an official with a $1 bill during last Sunday's win over Baltimore. More...

Buckeyes spoil Iowa's run for the roses
Vandenberg heaved the ball to the end zone, where Anderson Russell pulled it down for an interception. Being the man against New Mexico State and being the man in a game that decides the Big Ten championship and a Rose Bowl spot aren't close to the same thing. More...

Jazz-Cavaliers Game Review
James had averaged 31.0 points against the Jazz in 12 career games but had six at halftime and 11 through three quarters. What happened: The Cavs seemed to be cruising and held the lead for the entire game until some shaky defense and a push from Carlos Boozer put the Jazz ahead in the final two minutes. More...

Dwyane Wade's three-pointer beats the Nets
Jeffrey M. Boan/Associated Press The Heat's Dwyane Wade, right, and Quentin Richardson celebrate after Wade's three-point shot in the final seconds beat the Nets, 81-80.

Bruins-Penguins Game Review
The Bruins looked to be in great shape with the puck in the offensive zone with just seconds left in regulation and a one goal lead, but an untimely stick break gave the Penguins one final rush up ice and Bill Guerin found the back of the net with just 0.4 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime, where another miscue by the Bruins would give the Penguins the win. I have to admit I am becoming a fan of Dupuis. More...

Celtics-Pacers Game Review
Here's what I noticed about last night, Jamal Crawford gives this team a swagger that they normally lacked the past two seasons. Here is a name for future referene: Jason "JT" Thompson. the 611, 250 lbs, second year Sacramento King is presently playing the 4 for the resurging Kings but after Hubie Brown's constant reminders last night that a) Al is not a center and b) he is not 610, I began to think about how in the next two years- my time line for the Larry O' Brien trophy to be carried down Peachtree- who could the Hawks afford to get to fill the critical 5 spot in the starting line up? Someone who has the heft and height to go toe to toe with the big bangers of the lakers; Celtics and Cavs for a 7 game serise as opposed to the episodic game. More...
