Watch Live Humanitarian Bowl 2009 Online

Lost amid the strong performances of both Temple and Ohio in the MAC East was a stellar season for Dave Clawson and his Bowling Green Falcons, who rebounded from an awful start to finish 6-2 in conference play. Lost amid the play of receivers like Golden Tate, Jordan Shipley and Danario Alexander was the sublime season from Bowling Green’s Freddie Barnes, who stands poised to write his name in the N.C.A.A. record books. And lost amid the wonderful story of Idaho — Idaho! — reaching bowl eligibility, as wonderful a story that may be, is Bowling Green’s similar return to postseason play, albeit after only a one-year absence.

Watch Chargers vs Titans Live Streaming NFL Week 16

The San Diego Chargers vs. Tennessee Titans game a Christmas games should definitely be filled with a lot of points, because both of these teams really know how to light up the scoreboard. San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers already has 3,891 passing yards on the season to go along with 25 touchdowns. It is their receiving core that could help them a lot, with Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gate already past the 1,000 yard mark during the 2009 season, and looking to add to those totals.

As for the Tennessee Titans, it has been a tale of two parts to the 2009 season, with the first six games being led by Kerry Collins, and then Vince Young taking over in week 7. In his eight games as starting quarterback, Vince Young has 1,619 passing yards and 10 touchdowns. On the ground, the Tennessee Titans have one of the best running backs in football with Chris Johnson, who already has 1,730 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on the season. If he finishes out the 2009 regular season strong, he could easily surpass the 2,000 yard mark and put himself in the history books.

Both sides agreed that the drug testing issue is the only hurdle preventing the fight from being finished. Earlier Tuesday, Golden Boy Promotions officially requested March 13 from the Nevada State Athletic Commission to host the show.

Redskin Trick Play Failed

What was that? Do they even planned it or just a plain sudden idea? What were they thinking? Ok. It just shocked me, how could they leave that guy unprotected. Moving to the left isn't a bad idea but at least they could leave just a couple of guy to protect the ball.

It was disappointing though, it's like seeing the movie 'The Replacement'. EPIC FAIL. Watch the NFL replay and you'll see what I mean. You laugh so hard!

Brittany Murphy Death Photo

Murphy's work on "Wicked" came on the heels of another picture, a thriller called "Abandoned," and she would follow it up this fall with a lead part in "The Caller," the now-infamous Puerto Rico-based set where she turned up to work on the thriller but eventually parted ways with filmmakers last month, amid reports she was fired. She was also preparing to shoot a romantic comedy called "Shrinking Charlotte" in early 2010; that film may not go forward without her.

Nick Folk - Dallas Cowboys Kickers

Nick Folk is an American football kicker for the Dallas Cowboys. "Again, that was something different that we felt like we needed to do," Phillips said. "Something maybe to kick start [Folk]. If he didn't respond, if he wasn't kicking the ball very good in these situations, well, then. He's kicked it well." Starting at their own 20, the Cowboys converted a third down thanks to Miles Austin. Romo and the 'Boys marched the ball into the Saints redzone and chewed the clock to just a little over two minutes. 

Watch Saints vs Cowboys Online

Is this the game wherein a team will end the winning streak of Saints? Cowboys has the offensive people and their great defensive men on the line and they just need to use it wisely against the unbeatable Saints.

The Saints have proven over and over again this season -including several sensational come from behind wins and even an impossible OT victory in Washington that was more divine intervention than football tactics- they have shown that they are the very least vulnerable. The Panthers, Dolphins, Skins and others have provided plenty of tape on how to beat the Saints.

Watch Live Cowboys vs Saints 2009

With Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings sitting on their heels at 11-2, Cowboys vs Saints is still an important game for New Orleans. This is unlike the Colts, who have everything sewn up, but will continue to play their regulars as long as the unbeaten streak is on the line.

Even before the Cowboys game, that question had become a subject of debate among teammates. The Saints, of all franchises, should not allow winning, of all things, to become a distraction. The one-game-at-a-time approach has worked perfectly, but Payton should announce whether he intends to go for an undefeated season.

DISASTER GUIDE

How to Survive a Real Disaster

Here, life-extending advice that will turn you into the kind of person who can survive anything. Here’s hoping this info never comes in handy.

Fight the Freeze

There’s phenomenon dubbed the incredulity response wherein someone confronted with disaster loses his or her ability to make choices. If you do suffer a brain freeze when disaster strikes, talk aloud about everything you sense—whatever you see, hear, smell, etc.

Prepare for the Worst

Make the unthinkable thinkable. Always think of a backup plan in the event of a worst-case scenario. Yeah, this sounds morbid, but this kind of pre-planning ups your chances of survival.

Don't Rely on Hope Alone

Some people remain unfailingly optimistic in even the direst situation. And, experts say that thinking can be dangerous. If you are mountain climbing with friends and get separated from them, it’s tempting to think “Oh, they’re sure to find me.” But once expectation isn’t met—and you’re left in the wilderness overnight—the disappointment can be devastating, even life-threatening.

But Don't Lose All Hope

Too much optimism can be detrimental, but it’s just as important never to give up. The trick is finding the perfect balance between hopefulness and realism to maintain a productive sense of purpose.

Doctor tells police about Jackson's final moments

The cardiologist who was with Michael Jackson during the pop star's final moments sat down with investigators for the first time to explain his actions — and left three hours later as a witness, not a suspect.

Dr. Conrad Murray "helped identify the circumstances around the death of the pop icon and clarified some inconsistencies," Murray's spokeswoman Miranda Sevcik said in a statement Saturday. "Investigators say the doctor is in no way a suspect and remains a witness to this tragedy."

Murray, a physician with a tangled financial and personal history who was hired to accompany Jackson on his planned summer concert tour, reportedly performed CPR until paramedics arrived. The pop star was declared dead later at UCLA Medical Center.

Police confirmed that they interviewed Murray, adding that he was cooperative and "provided information which will aid the investigation."

The interview took place on a busy day when one of Jackson's lawyers was chosen to represent the family's legal interests and celebrities descended on Los Angeles for a star-studded public celebration of the King of Pop's life.

L. Londell McMillan, who represented Jackson last year in a breach of contact lawsuit and has advised high-profile clients such as Prince, was picked to help the family by Katherine Jackson, the singer's mother, said a person who requested anonymity because the matter is private.

The legal move came as the Rev. Jesse Jackson revealed that Michael Jackson's family wants a second, private autopsy of the pop superstar because of unanswered questions about how he died.

"It's abnormal," Jesse Jackson said from Chicago a day after visiting the Jackson family. "We don't know what happened. Was he injected and with what? All reasonable doubt should be addressed."

People close to Jackson have said since his death that they were concerned about his use of painkillers. Los Angeles County medical examiners completed their autopsy Friday and said Jackson had taken prescription medication.

Medical officials also said there was no indication of trauma or foul play. An official cause of death could take weeks.

There was no word from the Jackson family on funeral plans. Many of Jackson's relatives have gathered at the family's Encino compound, caring there for Jackson's three children.

It remains unclear who Jackson designated as potential guardians for his children. Those details — likely contained in the 50-year-old singer's will — have not been released.

An attorney for Deborah Rowe, the mother of Jackson's two oldest children, issued a statement Saturday asking that the Jackson family "be able to say goodbye to their loved one in peace."

Sisters Janet and La Toya arrived Saturday at the mansion Jackson had been renting and left without addressing reporters. Moving vans also showed up at the Jackson home, leaving about an hour later. There was no indication what they might have taken away.

The Jackson family issued a statement Saturday expressing its grief over the death and thanking his supporters.

"In one of the darkest moments of our lives we find it hard to find the words appropriate to this sudden tragedy we all had to encounter," said the statement made through People magazine. "We miss Michael endlessly."

There was no immediate word on whether the second autopsy was being performed right away. Jesse Jackson described the family as grief-stricken.

"They're hurt because they lost a son. But the wound is now being kept open by the mystery and unanswered questions of the cause of death," he said.

Organizers of the annual BET awards show — which recognizes the best in music, acting and sports — scrambled to revamp Sunday's show to honor Jackson and his legacy.

Previously announced acts, such as Beyonce and Ne-Yo, hoped to change their planned performances to honor Jackson, said producer Stephen Hill. Other artists who hadn't planned to attend the ceremony, including Usher and Justin Timberlake, tried to catch last-minute flights to Los Angeles to participate.
