Will Pryor Stay At Ohio State For 2011 Suspension

Jim Tressel is getting his football team ready for another BCS Bowl game. His star quarterback Terrell Pryor and four other teammates will be suspended for five games during the 2011 season. Could this be Pryor final game in a Buckeye uniform. The sophomore could opt for the 2011 NFL Draft. The NCAA handed down the sentence last week for all five players, for selling merchandise and getting body work done as well. Pryor mentioned he wanted to assist his mother.

Also each player will have to pay back the money in which they recieved. Most players come from low income settings, they see their jersies being sold & worn, while they are struggling for basic needs such as clothes, footwear, food etc while everyone profits except them.

Christmas Day 2010 featured the main course of matchups, thus far during the 2010-11 NBA regular season. Lebron James would come into Staples Center and along with Wade and Bosh to play against Bryant and the two time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Miami won the game 96-80, however they beat LA in every faze of the game. Especially defensively, Miami was stingy, limiting Kobe to 6 for 16 shooting from the field, Wade anchored the defensive effort vs. Bryant. Miami bigs limited the front line of Gasol, Odom and Bynum. Miami seems to be peaking, while the Lakers seem to be struggling over the past 2-3 weeks. LA currently is 4th in the West, while Miami after a slow start is 2nd in the East. Will this be a NBA Finals preview or could either team fall by the waist side during the playoffs. James gave the Knicks a triple double last week in New York. Christmas Day 3000 miles away he gave the Lakers a triple double in Los Angeles.

Rodgers & Packers Continue Giants 2nd Half Collapse

Since 2004 minus the 2007 Super Bowl winning season, the New York football Giants under head coach Tom Coughlin have struggled during the second half of each season. Last week at New Meadowlands Stadium, the Giants controlled their own destiny. With a win against the Eagles, they would have the inside track to the NFC East title. However if the Giants loss they would have a tough time winning the division, but had a chance to make the playoffs as a wildcard team. New York pressured Michael Vick for 3.5 quarters and took a 31-10 lead with 8 minutes left to go in the game. Final score Eagles 38 Giants 31, you asked what happened ? Vick and the Philadelphia offense where able to make plays, the Philadelphia defense came up with some stops and finally Desean Jackson as time expired score on a game winning punt return touchdown. Nevertheless in Green Bay with a win, New York could secure a playoff spot and eliminate the Packers. Packers 45 Giants 14, now the Packers can clinch a playoff birth next week vs. Chicago. Green Bay now hold the head to head tie breaker vs. New York. Aaron Rodgers coming off a concusion where he missed 1.5 games, threw for over 400 yards at home. The Packers can enter the postseason with a Giants lost at Washington next week. Eli Manning threw 4 more interceptions to led to his league leading total.

Shanahan Benches McNabb For Remainder Of The Season

First year Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has benched McNabb once again. McNabb was initially benched in Detroit earlier in the season during the last drive, which turned into a loss vs. the Lions. Now McNabb after the Redskins loss a week ago vs. Tampa, he's been benched and demoted to 3rd string quarterback. McNabb has thrown the most interceptions in his career this season. However he's loss several offensive weapons like running back Clinton Portis. Clearly McNabb isn't on the same page with the former Broncos head coach. Now the likes of Rex Grossman who will start and John Beck will become the backup quarterback, are on the depth chart, above a player who's gone to several Pro Bowls, won several division titles, played in five NFC Championship Games & appeared in a Super Bowl.

Yao Ming Injured Again Will Miss Rest Of The Season

Yao Ming as played five games thus far this season and will miss the remainder of the season, like he did last season. Yao has another stress fracture which was revealed in a MRI. When he's healthy Ming has the ability to average 20 points and 10 rebounds. The unfortunate part for Ming and the Rockets is he's only played more than 57 games in a season once since 2005-06. Could the injury be career threatening or can the center from China continue on at some point. The Rockets have been build around him and his interior scoring, rebounding, block shots and passing. Without Yao Houston clearly is a different team. It's truly a franchise in limbo.
