Wait a minute ... I checked the Bowl Championship Series Web site -- the Mountain West Conference, which includes Utah, is listed as one of the member leagues.
I don't think the Utah AG has a leg (ouch!) to stand on.

As an Eagle fan, I would love to see Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb stay in Philly, but it sounds like both may be gone after the season. Then we'll probably go into mediocracy.

Power Play The Blazer score what turns out to be a crucial basket on the Celtics with an extra player on the floor. Surprisingly the Blazers employed no subterfuge and left all six players on the court to be spotted by the refs. After discovering the mistake officials still let the basket stand.

If it had to happen to any team, I'm happy it was the Celtics. God, I hate them!

Is US High School Basketball Really Behind the Times? The author, a high school and youth basketball coach in England, thinks that high school basketball in the US needs a significant change in the rules. I think his argument makes sense. (I also wish I'd been around to see that tournament game he writes about.)

Yes, even in the urban areas, where one might expect a fast-paced, streetball-like game, games stay in the 40's, maybe 50's.
However, I have one problem with the international game: it is becoming too much like the NBA. It used to be 20-minute halves, a 30-second shot clock, and I understand the trapezoid lanes will become a thing of the past soon.

Fastest Red Card Ever ... Chippenham Town striker David Pratt lives up to his name by setting the world's record for the fastest red card ever, being sent off only 3 seconds into a match against Bashley.

Holyfield, in a shocker.... loses? SI.com's Graham scored the fight at 118-110 to Holyfield, but the judges speak otherwise, giving the win to Valuev by majority decision.

P.S.: Judging from some outlets I've read, it appears I was wrong. It was Valuev who was broken.

And we wonder why some people think boxing's not a sport? Given the disparity in scoring, and with a thought to the good old days, perhaps we had communist judges giving high scores.

Bargain-basement league Several NHL clubs are slashing ticket prices and throwing in all kinds of freebies to haul in fans, any fans.
The Panthers are similarly generous, offering a regularly priced $42 ticket for $17. Fans also receive free parking, a combo meal and a $5 gasoline card. Parking is usually $10 at the Panthers' arena, which means that if the other amenities are subtracted from the ticket price, you could make a case that the club is actually paying the fan to attend the game. Happy holidays!

Have the Devils dropped their prices? They might draw some more fans...right now, lots of fans dressed as empty seats!

Later story on bout:
145 Kilos/319 pounds???? Valuev looks like a younger and taller George "The Animal" Steele.

Latest Fighting Injury another Warning for NHL It was a hockey fight that started the way thousands of others have over the years, but it ended with a 21-year-old fighting for his life in a Hamilton hospital. Because of a hockey fight, the parents of Don Sanderson of the Whitby Dunlops are sitting by their son's bed wondering when, or if, their son is ever going to wake up. After one surgery and some 60 hours after his fight with Corey Fulton of the Brantford Blast last Friday night, Sanderson was still in a coma. "It was nothing....just a tussle,"..."Under normal circumstances, the 2 guys would have just skated away."

It is a tragic shame, but you will never be able to outlaw fighting. Also, given the world we live in, how many attorneys are lining outside his room?

Giants' Receiver Burress Shoots Leg in Gun Accident New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg with his own gun at a New York City club Friday night. The injury required hospitalization but is not life-threatening, a source told Newsday. Burress had a concealed weapon permit in Florida that might be active, but New York does not recognize the permit so he could face charges.

How about a year -- without pay?
The Giants showed they didn't need him in Washington.

... and may have been involved in another shooting? Initially I thought some desperate team would snatch him up, but I don't know????
