Rick Santorum has a shot at third place in Iowa

Rick Santorum is rising in the polls, and now looks like a contender for third place in Iowa.

The GOP hopeful Iowa caucus support among likely voters more than tripled since early December, which it was published for the third place with 16%, according to a CNN / Time / ORC poll on Wednesday.

Santorum has long cast itself as a reliable conservative, that voters can trust to stand by his principles when the going gets tough.

"I've always had to come the story of the girl in the room, go past us and take a turn with a few other guys to say beautiful," Santorum told The New York Times "and then at the end of the evening, a steady old Eddie , not pushy, but he's the man you know you want to take home to mom and dad. "

49ers dim Steelers' bid for top AFC seed with 20-3 victory

Alex Smith was wearing a blue shirt to work Monday Candlestick Park, type of clothes you can see the mechanic. She had a white spot on chest, with his first name stitched in red. This was all part of the final statement.

49ers went to work and actually brought their lunch pails metal, helmets and all other visual symbols grunt workers for the long-awaited matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers traditionally Scrappy.

And work they did.

At night, when lights went out on a Stick - twice, actually - 49ers and the Steelers scored a short-circuit 20-3 gut-check victory.

Ben Roethlisberger GIMP?

No matter what. 49ers defense, playing without injured All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis, showed no mercy for the visiting defenders, who threw for 330 meters, but he limped, grimaced, winced and hobbled with tenderized left leg suffered a high ankle sprain 11 days ago.

San Francisco discovered Roethlisberger three times and forced him into another lap with chewing. They converted three of movement up to 13 points. Big Ben sacked three times, too.

"Defense played lights out," said Smith, encourage laughter during the game after the press conference. "No pun intended."

Roethlisberger said: "I make no excuses, I played bad football ball, I turned that one on me ...."

49ers defense that set a season record 14 games without starting NFL rushing touchdown, if you live in the home quarterback. It held Pittsburgh to three points lower season and gave Smith a cushion to work with.

He passed for 187 meters, which is an almost overwhelming number of happy NFL films today. But perhaps most importantly, Smith was fired, and never made turnovers. His work, when it matters most - like race rollout back to tight end Vernon Davis to 21 meters, setting a handy 1-yard touchdown throw to Davis after the game in the third quarter to extend lead at 13-3 - was nearly perfect.

She helped the 49ers (11.3), which has secured the NFC West crown, closer to providing a first-round bye and stay ahead of the New Orleans Saints to pursue a No. 2 seed.

"Great War, because I'm here," said Smith, the seventh year. "Both teams had a lot on the line."

Pittsburgh (10-4), playing without suspended All-Pro linebacker James Harrison, passed a chance to gain sole possession of first place in the AFC North.

"We must acknowledge that 49er football today," said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. "We played the game on their terms. Turnovers created. We got a few games concept. They control the ball. Played with head and played, as they play.

"We had the opportunity and we have to catch it."

49ers won more than 100 yards less than Pittsburgh (389-287), but not waste this opportunity. For example, already in the fourth quarter, after the rookie Smith, Aldona barrel in forcing Roethlisberger fumble, recovered by Justin Smith, Steelers 17, 49ers quickly cashed in a 5-yard touchdown run by Frank Gore (18 rushes, 65 yards ) to the point, which essentially closed the door on a comeback.

Interestingly, the 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh chosen to give space to be provided to third goal David Akers, and that the procedures after Lawrence Timmons was identified as a controversial penalty to jump 28-yard goal try.

"At the gate, he still would have been a two-point game," Harbaugh explained. "With a goal, we have the three-point game."

Harbaugh, front-runner for NFL coach of year honors after leading the 49ers to move the bed first game since 2002 in the first year, welcomed the fullness of victory.

"It was a team victory," he said.

He was also one in which the 49ers will not soon forget the other reason.

Excavation was delayed about 20 minutes after the transformer, which is located outside the stadium failed. Source was switched to a backup generator.

What was the 49ers locker room during pregame failure?

"It was dark," said Harbaugh, of course, facts. "Any kind of rolled with it."

Second outage in the second quarter, caused a 16-minute delay.

"Strange," said Smith. "It's not something you expect. For the first time, was not nearly as bad. But when you sit outside in the playground, and they go out and do not know how long it will take ... just kind of deal with. "

At this point, Harrison - serving a game suspension for illegal helmet to helmet came in Browns quarterback Colt McCoy, and watching from afar - from fun tweeted: ". If I can not play, nobody can play"

It is clear that the 49ers never got a tweet.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom, so hurt by that are included in three team trade for Chris Paul, who was rejected by the NBA last week, finally was treated on Sunday, the Dallas Mavericks for $ 8.9 million trade exception, but also as a protected first round pick.

Lakers also threw in a 2012 second-round draft pick in the deal, which came two days after trading Odom asked, according to Lakers team source.

"Right now, for me, after Odom, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, we have the best forward trio in the league at this time. And that's exciting," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "Lamar Odom is a person we have great respect as a person and as an all-around player in this league, we believe that it goes so many different sizes to add to our -., long playing, noting experience, championship experience."

"I mean, really Lamar Odom trade exception - and I do not even know what it is. - So we turned nothing into a major player always a fan of his game because he has always been a great player on all sides. He is very smooth, very fun to watch, so I think he will fit in great. He can play multiple positions, it can keep a few items, it is long, so I think he will fit well. "

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak Odom praised for his time in Los Angeles

"Lamar is a great player for us in his seven years with the Lakers and is crucial to help us win two championships," said Kupchak. "He's always done with class and professionalism and we wish him success in the rest of his career."

Whether the Lakers trade exception use Dallas in the trade later, at least for the Lakers think that could trade disgruntled player to move while saving nearly $ 18 million salary and luxury tax penalties, said a source. Another team source said the concern Odom would not be as important role this season under new coach Mike Brown as he was in Jackson when he was summoned to the triangle to activate the offense when he ground the second module .

Without these additional responsibilities, Odom is a very expensive substitute for holding a list.

"To be honest, I enjoy it," said Bryant. "It's hard to lose Lamar. Pau (Gasol) is still here and we are all grateful. It's hard when you have been through so many battles with players to see just go somewhere else. It's difficult."

Bryant and Derek Fisher led a chorus of confused anger of the Lakers, who have no idea what their plans front office just two weeks before the season opener. Los Angeles is believed to be working on a deal for Orlando center Dwight Howard, but the trade exception acquired from Dallas, only a small part of any deal.

"As a basketball player, but are confused about what its focus should be," said Fischer. "I am very frustrated and disappointed for (Odom and Gasol). If you select will be Lamar Laker for life."

Bryant said he hates seeing Odom left Los Angeles: "Especially for them we had to go back and get them back to difficult ... I think the lack Who did we get here I do not think. ..? Mark Cuban is protesting this trade . "

Odom said he was hurt by that are included in the sunken trading Paul to New Orleans. Los Angeles, Houston and New Orleans agreed to a deal Thursday that would Odom and Lakers forward Pau Gasol sent to the New Orleans Hornets guard for Paul. Gasol will then be sent to Houston for Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic and 2012 first round pick.

NBA Commissioner David Stern nixed trade shortly thereafter and said he got in the best interest of the Hornets, currently controlled by the league to protect it while shopping for a new owner of the franchise.

As a result of the canceled transaction beaten by Odom of the Lakers first day of training camp on Friday. He noted, however, go to the practical possibility of face to face meeting with general manager Mitch Kupchak, in which he speaks his desire to be traded, depending on the source to have. Kupchak asked Odom to reconsider its position and said the 12-year veteran is considering its decision.

"You do not want to put no, I do not want," Odom to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday.

Odom refrained from practicing again on Saturday, instead of using practice time to undergo annual physical team. In an interview with Lakers management on Saturday, Odom agent, Jeff Schwartz, Odom confirmed their desire to be traded, the source said.

While Odom chose to stay away from the team, while trade is still in motion, Gasol continues to practice with the team during this time. Gasol was present at the team media day Sunday, and even filmed a TV promo for the Lakers' Christmas Day game against Chicago. He looked at the camera and said: "We are back" while wearing his Lakers jersey № 16.

Gasol practiced with the team Sunday after media day festivities.

"I do not think this person is not," said Gasol. "This is a business move, I think. The franchise is trying to do everything possible for the best interest of the franchise and the team. ... I'll just have to be professional. My desire is to stay here. I as part of this team this franchise, this city, the fans, everybody. It was during the last few days of uncertainty and insecurity. And perhaps it is not over.

"I'm just going to be as professional as I can do my job and just do what I like and play basketball and play with a team I love to play."

The chance will almost certainly become the first player taken in the 2012 NFL Draft. It has all the components of a pro team could want in a quarterback, from the great leadership skills, with the arm strong and precise, with the ability to run, namely that we expect of a graduate Stanford, which will be soon.

For all the impressive features, though, Luck is a Heisman runner-up for the second consecutive year.

After finishing behind Auburn Cam Newton quarter last year, this time stalking chance Griffin with 280 points (1687-1407), followed by Richardson (978), Ball (348) and Mathieu (327).


As a Heisman voter, I fully understand the results. All of us were asked to list three players in our ballots, with the first-place votes worth three points, second place for the second and third place is one.

My voice, electronically delivered a week ago, after much research, RG3 is listed as a first choice, placing the two lucky. My third choice is USC quarterback Matt Barkley, who did not receive enough support to get the weekend all expenses paid in New York. He finished sixth.

If you believe that Griffin is a worthy winner, you know.

If you believe that luck or someone else should have won, please let me explain.

The momentum generated by the spring and summer into overdrive on the weekend of fall, when the chance to adapt and will remind everyone that he is the best player in college football. Heisman was almost stamped with the name and postponed.

Stanford In the first nine games, he is a leader in the minds of most voters, including me. Griffin in the race as well, with Richardson and Matthew. Although several other people - mostly quarts Kellen Moore (Boise State), Case Keenum (Houston) and Brandon Weeden (Oklahoma State) - appeared regularly in the various Heisman watch list, no serious competitors in my voice.

It's luck and Griffin and Matthew Richardson. Ball makes final bid for a home in the end zone.

Barkley I was impressed just by being about the same chance, despite knowing that there will be no playoff games for the Trojans, no matter how he and his team perform. It takes great determination to stay focused when the season is sacrificed, the price paid for the sins of others.

Iron fist chance on my ballot - and certainly many others - were slightly loosened in the game 8 on October 29 at USC, where he threw an interception returned for a touchdown late. Luck has led the Cardinal to earn overtime fumble sealed by the Trojan.

Two weeks later came the game 10 cardinal and most important, Oregon at Stanford in prime time, with the Pac-12 North supremacy in. The Ducks won by 23 (53-30). In addition, the opportunity has three turnovers.

As luck fell to the state of ordinary people, Griffin - already aired - it's a peak, accumulating statistics on the set of cartoons of high visibility and led Baylor (9-3) for the nine-win season in a quarter century.

Griffin brought the bears, especially in the stretch. He had nine 300-yard games. He threw for 3,998 yards, with 36 goals and six interceptions pass to the chance 35/nine 3170 /. Griffin has a higher completion percentage (72.4 to 70) and become more productive runner (644 yards and nine TDs, and 153 for both).

Griffin pass efficiency rating is 192.3 (167.5 Chance 's). If you stay above 186 RG3 through the Alamo Bowl against Washington, it will make the NCAA record.

Look, luck has a remarkable season. No, there is nothing more for his team, and with the skill position talent is not generally considered superior. But if it is not perfect non-stop, week after week, especially in the tent of the games, the award may slip away.

This is simply because Griffin was spectacular enough to reach it.

He won by being as good luck through the first two months of this season and certainly better in November, when the largest consequences.

At Republican debate, Newt Gingrich rolls on with steady performance

In a campaign dominated by debate in particular, Newt Gingrich showed Saturday night why he tops the poll - and why he will not be easily overthrown.

Facing tough questions from Republican rival and moderators debate in Des Moines silat, Gingrich in rapid succession, without his or undisciplined cool show-much-discussed aspect of his personality.

It is the former Speaker of the House from the first debate as the undisputed leader and not only that he opposed the re-examination, he reminds voters the Republicans from office issues, intellectual ability and his confidence, a strong argument.

When Mitt Romney to claim provocative Gingrich complained that the Palestinians are "created" man, a former Georgia congressman was captured succinctly why his brand of bombastic playing so well, with GOP voters problematic.

"I think it is sometimes very helpful to a president of the United States with the courage to speak the truth have, like Ronald Reagan, for the entire national security apparatus, went to the Soviet Union called the" evil empire "and who is suspended throughout his State Department to say, 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,''said Gingrich, who calls himself a "Reagan" and then the kicker impressive: ". I will tell the truth, even if it is in danger is that sometimes some confusion with a shy "

Gingrich, Romney has proposed a "bomb thrower," but the applause Gingrich Hall debate in Des Moines, which explains in its response that Republican voters prefer combativeness to peace at this time.

What Gingrich is so terrible in the debates and the nomination is greater competition, that he not only appeals to the heart of the Republic, but his head. Former Professor of History offers the kind of articulate responses to the stage is only matched by Romney, while the language, the channels give-em-hell vibration GOP voters were preparing for a confrontation with President Obama.

Strategy Romney, Gingrich presented as too uncertain to nominate not translate when former Speaker of the House of sand at the edge sharp and does not look as bad or volatile. This is particularly true when, as on Saturday night, it's that Romney appears more nervous than Gingrich.

Former Speaker of the House is his friend Rick Perry, Governor of Texas when Romney became enamored spat over health care. Perry intimidate push former governor of Massachusetts to offer a $ 10,000 bet that he's right - the Democrats and the food line for GOP rival Romney on Romney after we got out of touch with average voters paint.

Romney is a competent performance in general, but as long as he cut a road Gingrich in the poll is not good enough. And Romney is the most memorable moment on Saturday night when he was offered a five-figure bets.

For his part, Gingrich offers a powerful version of its stock answers, ask whether infidelity in marriage and sent send a half-hearted attempt by Romney to hit him over the use of the moon colony, to amend the laws against child labor and the capital gains rate cuts for high earners.

While Romney surrogate be used starting this week for Gingrich as unpredictable, unreliable and less committed to represent conservatism, after debate, Romney officials indicated that they had to move into more of a contrast to Romney's biography.

"Mitt Romney is the one that is out there, you know, in the real world," Romney said Stuart Stevens strategy. "He's not a historian in the world's highest paid at $ 1,600,000 This is just a different world .."

The question that now hangs over Iowa in the third run until January caucus, is whether the communication will encourage Gingrich to number in the next three weeks to the point where he lost - or maybe even score a victory.

The good news for Romney is that he still helps a bit to get into this. A SuperPac support his candidacy in a wave of hot air Gingrich. Both Ron Paul and Rick Perry also shot in Iowa and former Speaker advertising money poor Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann did the same thing through media appearances.

In fact, Gingrich worst moment in the ABC / Yahoo sponsored the forum if he is to react with a flash of anger faded series of attacks from Bachmann, single digits in Iowa.

Romney got a further boost on Saturday night, Paul, Perry, Santorum and Bachmann all delivered strong performances. If a candidate can improve their Iowa numbers, meaning that the more conservative voters still undecided, impartial Gingrich.

In the campaign as a thorough discussion of how to perform strongly dominate - and the buzz generated - could mean a lot to the prospect of Romney, because all the ads will air in Iowa.

There is a reason, but why Gingrich remains politically relevant, so long after you leave the house and why he now leads the Republican race after losing most of the entire campaign team and went into debt $ 1,000,000. He quickly stood up, has reached a good level and the ability to Republican voters, for now, have a few muffled his worst impulses.

Without self-inflicted wounds, are not sure what that is significantly slower to gain momentum.

No Heisman, but trophies don't define Trent Richardson

Trent Richardson, the New York City, Best Buy Theater on Saturday night but not on the podium.

Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III was.

Heisman Trophy finalist, was Richardson, but not a Heisman Trophy winner.

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck completed for the second year running second. Richardson was the third runner-up runner-up.

Alabama junior running back in college football this season was the best, but remember, it will be the best running back ever, do not strong-arm a trophy home with them.

Story of his college career.

Richardson was shot in the world, unless played his last college football game on 9 January in the BCS Championship Game in New Orleans. It is removed with two national championship rings and a piece of jewelry or a trophy, this distinction is not one brand or.

Alabama football player was unstoppable and always unselfish?

Richardson has not just remained unnoticed. Doak Walker was the first winner of the Alabama back Thursday as the nation's best runners. The head coach named SEC offensive player of the year, and so far all the All-American team has released the first group.

If he turns pro as for the BCS Championship Game, Richardson, Tuscaloosa, so expect a lot of hardware. But imagine how much more decorated and celebrated college football players maybe he was somewhere else.

In a sense, said Richardson Signing Day 2009 the world that he played his college football at Alabama - A year after Mark Ingram, the decision of the 2011 Heisman Night events were in progress.

Richardson made her the opportunity to make his mark by Ingram, like a true rookie, he was a little brother, the relationship two years. And. And if it complained about it once was, but nobody is on the news of the outside world stock now.

Imagine all that Richardson was in Alabama. Now you can imagine what I had been his home state of the Pensacola native Emmitt Smith of the University of Florida and the same high school as a way to continue to have.

Sidekick was not anyone's day, let alone two years. I was a star for a day and not long after STARTER. 2009 SEK Championship Game in Florida, Alabama, I can not lose, and Florida the third national title in four years on the difference between a path.

I also had a history of the fourth Heisman winner Florida. Instead, it was to play at Alabama, Ingram serve as Sidekick, but it is a part of a program, rather than being an increase of the peak.

Alabama Heisman winner, the second that there are still more yards and more touchdowns than he two years ago, Ingram year - 12 instead of 13 games - it seems almost fitting. Three years ago, Richardson was better than the numbers and honors.

This year, the Heisman is a separate and a team of two players. LSU has its way, as Griffin and Luck. If not LSU, Alabama SEC Championship Game, I would play, and Richardson would daramat last Saturday for a final statement. If not LSU, I would Richardson, the country's best team player.

And when you consider that it signed by the Tigers. They said he owed a little something, and you will have the opportunity PAYBACK 9th January.

What weighs about a 25-pound bronze statue? The two crystal footballs.

RG3 Wins First Heisman Trophy for Baylor

Baylor Robert Griffin III, Superman, and won the Heisman Trophy when he was wearing socks to prove.

Who knows? Perhaps even helped outluck Andrew Luck.

Small house for the first Baylor player in college football to be the most famous trophy on Saturday night in pre-season favorite in RG3 beat Stanford, known as the quarterback.

Griffin took a deep breath right before his name was called. Braids on his face when he announced his long range bright smile will be included. Then the coaches, parents, sister and her boyfriend were hugs all around.

It was a stadium and there are a number of steps in a long time to put a laugh, to joke about Superman socks - full-back capes - he accepted the word was sent before continuing.

"Unbelievably this is not convincing," he said. "We are impressed with all the great things that happen when this is amazing. But without the hard work of the great things because it is not convincing."

Select the NFL draft, which is touted as more than luck № 1 in Griffin, the Heisman conversation, a team of talented and exciting players last season was on track.

Luck may be related to the project is still a very good day, but Griffin fourth in voting for a player no better than the end of the school, Waco, Texas will be directed to the Heisman - and was 48 years.

405 first place votes and 1,687 points from Griffin.

"Everyone connected with Baylor in the evening there is a reason to celebrate," he said.

Luck Heisman runner-up in consecutive seasons in 2006 and '07 and the first in Arkansas back Darren McFadden's work. For the fourth player to reach 247 first place votes and 1,407 points

Luck of the first to congratulate Griffin

"It was also awarded the Robert Griffin," Luck said. "It was very difficult to get upset."

Alabama running back Trent Richardson 138 first place votes and 978 points in the third. Wisconsin Montee Ball (348 points) and the other finalists in the fourth running back, cornerback LSU Tyranni Mathieu (327) was fifth.

Griffin speech was good as the game.

"I am the crowd, all I can say a lot easier, you can laugh," where the front that read "Silə socks off blue and red, after which he said after a press conference.

Griffin is a fan of superheroes and cartoon characters, and socks. Socks favorites: Sponge Bob.

However, many expected to win, but make no mistake, he said: "My heart is really heavy, really, all he was hitting on my chest will feel like .."

Highlights Griffin was great - 8 seconds long, the trans-field signature of this touchdown pass to beat Oklahoma on the left - and put the dizzying numbers, extends for 3,998 yards and 36 touchdown passes for the completion of 72 percent efficiency index 192.3.

More importantly, is the most important chapters in the history of the school of national prominence and Baylor (9-3) lifted. Rated at 15 months, the first time in 25 years, winning nine games and won the first time the Sooners was 4-0 in November.

The big winner of the first 15 games in November, after four seasons of the Big 12. The last three games? Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech.

It was the front runner from the moment of the season in January Lucky for a return to Stanford to become a millionaire instead of going to the NFL is very surprised. It has 3,170 feet, 35 touchdown passes, completed 70 percent with a rating of 167.5 percent and did not disappoint.

Griffin beat him using a similar formula: bright and exciting game against the competitors in the most conference in the shadows of the leading private school program oppressed.

Lucky win against UCLA blowout that made a sensational catch an early hand. Nice.

Baylor won the opening game 50-48 victory against TCU Griffin down from third to drive traffic to the main courtyard was 15. More is good.

6-foot-2, 220 pounds with the speed of Sprint - it was all American, a 400 meter hurdles - some early Heisman buzz, but three, lost four of Baylor in October sad. Griffin continued to accumulate numbers of video games, but the bears "is not enough to offset the permeable defense.

He finished with a blow, and when Baylor beat Oklahoma 45-38 on Nov. 19, shot at Heisman letters. Terrance Williams Griffin last seconds of the sensational 34 yards, game-winner, including 479 yards and four touchdowns against the Sooners had to do.

It has 320 yards passing and two TD passes and two touchdown to win 48-24 against Texas capping the season, a championship on Saturday, said his case. At the same time, luck, and Richardson was empty during the regular season.

"We like to go and write the script seemed perfect to win this award," said Griffin.

Baylor is the standard currently Heisman in 1963, quarterback Don son of a bitch of course the fourth place.

"We did great job resurrecting the program," Griffin said.

It is near Copper Cove Fort Hood, Texas, placed in the center of town is the son of two sergeants U. S. Army.

"My father, and he told me that it has everything," he said. "They love a home is one of a kind that I can be approved."

If something in a package that is a secondary school for Baylor to land Griffin was involved in the coup.

Dodgeball Houston coach Art and loyal to Griffin, but Griffin Dodgeball when Baylor hired away from work, and even a bowl game since 1994, the coach for the program is executed.

"Our offense is quarterback friendly, no doubt," said Bril. "We are looking at the quarterback position for Robert, we knew what was in full compliance."

It is the first in 2008 at age 18, started 11 games and three games into the 2009 season with a ton of knee ligament. He is as good as new and returned last year with the commitment and newly discovered love of football. He threw for 3501 yards and a record and its first bowl appearance since 1994, Baylor led 7-6.

This season, improved his passing, and still is a dangerous runner (644 yards and nine TDS) are available. Offer their products - in San Antonio Alamo Bowl against Washington on Dec. 29 - has a lot of games, however, that the professional perspective, put in doubt.

Braun: 'I am completely innocent'

I received a text message from Ryan Braun. Call for a positive doping test is still ongoing, because the details in a comment on the issue, or any information about what happened and not happened.

But Brown will be the cancellation of the positive drug test that was very hard. He wanted to hold a press conference today that the events to their own version, but not recommended as this process continues.

"I can not wait to get this opportunity," Brown said.

"I am absolutely innocent of all BS."

All Brown understands that there are currently almost. But I appreciate him reaching out to me what he could.

Navy beats Army for 10th time in a row, 27-21

Playing his last game before he goes to the seal training, Alexander Teich has absolutely, positively, specifically do not want as a member of the Navy team that lost to the army finally be known.

The defender was kickoffs back, which he had not done all year. He ran to the stands to support the brigade of midshipmen who had up to a quarter of the lower bowl of the stadium Washington Redskins.

It took a little more excitement than usual, but the Midshipmen pond and it's a perfect 10 against the Black Knights and won 27-21 Saturday in the 112th number one of the most passionate rivalries sports.

"I'm an emotional person - I do not know if you noticed, but" the senior master said with a smile. "I have been amplified. You do not want to drop the ball in the senior category, and I would do whatever was necessary. "

With President Barack Obama chaired the first Army-Navy game in around the capital were played, the middle (5-7) a pair of touchdown runs by Kriss Proctor and a quart of his 10th consecutive victory pond in the rivalry.
 

At least, that was close. Navy had the other nine by at least a dozen points. The heart needs a pair of field goals in the fourth quarter of Jon Teague and fourth down stop in their own territory before they begin to chant the blue uniforms had "another 10 years!"

It facilitates the bite - and then some - a marine disappointing season. The media came a streak of eight bowl appearances to the end of this year.

"Anyway - we do not play in a bowl game, we play a game bowl - the army for a decade to beat is outrageous," said Proctor, a senior. "For 10 times Following is a little hard to do. "

Consolation will become more difficult for the army, at least when the Black Knights linebacker Andrew Rodriguez hit a player diving - Guard John Dowd - including trophy William V. Campbell as the nation's top senior scholar-athletes earn

For graduates of the army, the sting is gone forever, even if they eventually turn into a game.

"" Fast "-. It does not work but it's something I live with "the Black Knights senior linebacker Steven Erzinger said. "" Almost "is now my inheritance."

Obama, accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden has worked to shake the Navy the edge before the game, hands, and even a hug from the mascot - a goat wearing a Santa hat. The President led a left-midfielder flip coin - Army won and elected to receive - then met with presidential tradition to spend half of each side of the field. He joined the Navy, with an armed escort to walk on the 50 yard line to the sidelines during a ceremony, formal part-time key.

As always, the ceremony was breathtaking, starting with the Army Corps of Cadets. "March on the field three hours before kickoff, the brigade of midshipmen will then participated in the series, both parties mocked each other in a good mood -." Why was so calm? "The Navy after singing the midrange took a 14-0 lead - and the beach balls and even an inflatable snake struck, while the flat-screen videos funny in an academy or the other.

But there are also the most moving moments of the tribute for $ 80,789, both sides swayed and sang loudly when Lee Greenwood performed "God Bless the USA" at halftime.

Proctor ran 32 times for 97 yards and made a pond 18 times for 93 yards. Navy ran for 296 yards and completed one pass in the dispute between the tip heavy triple option team.

And how did you return kickoffs pond? His return of 48 yards to open the second half led to a touchdown.

But it was the mention of that Teague coach Ken Niumatalolo brought to tears after the match. Marine blows game was an adventure for the whole season, and senior kicker had only 8 of 13 in the game.

"Some of the things about this child, a number of personal things were said about him said," Niumatalolo said: "I mean, these are college kids just play football, and some people have said some It was things like crime or something. I'm so happy for him. "

Raymond Maples and Malcolm Brown amassed 82 yards each for Army (3-9), who finished the season with four straight losses and now trails the overall series 56-49-7. The Black Knights, who have better rushing team in the nation, ran for 298 yards and completed only four passes.

Army had a chance to win in the fourth quarter, linebacker Matt Warrick Navy triple option play stop quart Trent Steelman perfectly on the fourth and seven in the middle of '25 with 4:31 remaining.

"The key is to remove what has never been more in the coming year, the feeling," junior linebacker Nate Army Combs said. "I'm tired of this feeling."

My 2011 Heisman Trophy ballot

Robert Griffin, 2011 Heisman Trophy winner for one reason and one reason only:

He is the greatest college football players.

Best stats? Maybe. The most valuable? Maybe.

It is nice to have a player with a 3.9-look team Heisman given. The award was "the best player on best team" in honor in recent years. I think that's fine, but I do not think it's necessary.

I voted for Tim Tebow in 2007, when Tebow had 23 rushing touchdown and 32 touchdown by the way, and the Gators were 9-3. Sometimes, the player has done regardless of the team, it's just too strange not to vote.

That's why I'm chosen for Griffin.

Electrical work, raises money dynamics in bombs, short flash club, dramatic escapes the pocket, in the late-game heroics and phase - RG3 had them all. He even has an NCAA record for passer efficiency rating of 192.31 with astronomical. How well does it work? The old single season record Colt Brennan was 186.0. Sam Bradford, NCAA career-record 175.6. Griffin threw touchdown and six 36 complaints, completed 72 percent of his passes and ran for nine TD.

I also like the fact that he was still a student graduated early and is himself, his family, his school and his community with class and dignity in all situations. This is no coordination policies, but it's part of what the Heisman is for me. He is the best deal in the big 12, do not shoot because he was out of the mouth and stand around and offer powerful chest (it skips the interview, when things gets tough), but because he is intelligent and thoughtful, and gives an insight into the aspects of himself and his game and his team, that you never knew existed. Thank you for Robert.

My second place vote is almost as easy. Lots of great candidates this year. I mean, a lot. I could have contained any of the nine guys on my ballot, and I feel good about one of them. But I chose Wisconsin running back Montee Ball, for one simple reason: all the touchdowns.

Barry Sanders' record of 39 TDs will never be touched, we spoke with in 1988. Now, touch the ball. He has 38 this season, and it's more than I ever thought that we would see again. He has always come with a bowl game and, of course, killing at least once, but in truth, if the NCAA would Ogu and five TDs in Sanders' Holiday Bowl, he would pull 44 may be considered, and we would not with this the debate.

Anyway, the ball is not only a big, fat plug goal line. The guy is the fourth largest in the country in a hurry, 135.3 yards per game. Average of 6.4 yards per carry it. How well does it work? Trent Richardson, Alabama averaged 6.0. Adrian Peterson, for crying out loud, only an average of 5.7 in the best years in the subdivision. Ball ran for 1759 yards and caught 20 passes for 255 yards and six TDS. He even threw a pass TD. Guys, this is performance, and if he does not catch rejoice Keith Nicole Mary and other next week in Ohio, the ball might be your winner, and is likely to play in the national championship.

The third place on my ballot was the hardest. I would say Stanford defender Andrew Luck, however, statistically, suggested he a serious plot towards the back half of the season. I would say that LSU defensive back Mathieu tyrant, but, statistically speaking, he disappeared (literally, thanks to one game suspension) for almost a month. I mean, running back Trent Richardson to Alabama, but in my opinion, I joined a few other running backs in the crime, Alabama, and I saw them do the same. (Do not get me wrong, Richardson, a unique animal-type runner in the field, but 1583 yards and 20 TDs Heisman has no fear of these).

I would say Houston Defender Case Keenum and Boise State defender Kelly Moore as a statistical miracle, and executives and the winners. But Keenum fell in the championship game defeat of Houston and Moore did not take his chance of winning the Boise State loss. Moreover, given the strength of their schedule this season, they have little room for error.

I have also called Oregon running back LaMichael James and defender Russell Wilson, Wisconsin.

But with a little more than an hour to vote, I felt best about Oklahoma State defender Brandon Weeden.

Weeden has all the elements (over .726 completion percentage, 34 touchdown 4328 feet, while his 12 complaints - six at the start of the season, five to the end -. Interfered) was statistically Weeden a week to week with a show of strength, with a shaky game against Texas and three landings, 476-meter, three-interception "flop" against Iowa.

Going in that loss to Cyclones Friday night, I decided Weeden was my favorite. Then all said that it was over. I wavered back and forth.

I finally Weeden included in my ballot, because it was unfair to punish the ball to the player Weeden is not a game-winning field goal. And while the loss dropped him from my seat one, I kept it to a vote, especially through his weekly series, and that it is easy again with a solid passing game (wind tunnel), which destroys and demoralizes helped by Bedlam rival Oklahoma. He backed the first quarter direct Ogu conference champion in 63 years, won 22 games in two seasons and a record legion of demons, to drive on this road.

Rick Perry's Anti-Gay Ad Features Music by Gay Composer Aaron Copland

By now you've probably seen Rick Perry, "Strong" ad, which he believes "there is something wrong in this country where gays can openly serve in the army, but our children can not celebrate Christmas or open prayer in school . "Not only gay men in our army, they also compose the music for our campaign. Because the Harvard Political Review notes, the music that plays in the background classifieds Perry inspired or taken directly from the Aaron Copland, a gay composer.

Chicago Bulls Free Agency: Could Reggie Williams Be the Answer at SG?

With Caron Butler is currently not officially informed that the hunt for shooting Chicago Bulls guard, beginning, attention seems to have found the number of different players, including Vince Carter and Jason Richardson.

A player who receives a portion of Bulls attention, but very little media attention is the Reggio Williams.

Williams, a restricted free agent guard / forward from the Golden State Warriors would be interested in the Orlando Magic, Charlotte Bobcats, Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls.

The prospect of Williams on the Chicago Bulls, but not a blockbuster free agent to sign the Bulls fans may be looking for, is always very interesting for several reasons.

Initially, his youth assets is interesting that Williams will open the 2011-12 season, only 25 years old. Compare this with the other goals bulls hearing Jason Richardson (30), Vince Carter (34), Josh Howard (31), Arron Afflalo and even (26).

The idea that Williams room to grow as a player, this is something that should be an active team Bulls, now in the championship window is four to five years.

Offensively, Williams averaged 15.2 points per game in his rookie season, playing in 24 games of the Warriors in 2009-10.

In the past year, and its points fall to 9.2 points per game, a native of Virginia, was more effective offensive, raising three percentage points from 35 percent to 42 percent brilliant.

Williams, like most men, but not stellar defensive numbers, but a change of scenery from the Golden State Warriors' The old system of open range in a tough defensive team, headed by Tom Thibodeau can change things for Williams.

At 66, "Williams size and speed to keep two small forwards and shooting guards, so the liability at the end of protection, of course, can make its assets.

Williams is also struggling to get to the foul line, shooting only 1.3 free throws per game last year, the number of which will be increased, if it came to the Bulls.

This is something that should be developed for a long time that Williams has the length and agility to fly to the basket and finish strong.

Williams is at a crossroads in his career of the soldiers, swingman and rookie first-round Clay Thompson waiting in the wings.

As a restricted free agent, the Warriors can match any offer letter sent to Williams, but there is little reason to do so.

It is not beyond the realm of possibility that the Bulls could get Williams to 3 million, which could be important for the young Williams.

Jason Richardson should be number 1 target for the Chicago Bulls' shooting guard search. However, Williams, as a plan B or C, of ​​course, intriguing possibility.

Lindsay Lohan Playboy Cover Pictures Resembling Marilyn Monroe Leaked Online

Hollywood wild child, Lindsay Lohan started to shoot him pictures of Marilyn Monroe model for Playboy, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Cover of Playboy actress were leaked online, giving readers and viewers a look around for things to come. The cover shows Lohan sits astride a chair with his back shaped like the famous Playboy bunny.

Everyone involved seems very happy with the shoot, which will be released later in December.

Lindsay has agreed to make a single media interview, but his question was for sale, and she chose to interview to be with Ellen. There will be other interviews promoting the issue, but it is doubtful that any offer would have been necessary anyway.

Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to the camera, no pictures, not even for his antics, and had other coverage such as New York Magazine, where she was stripped naked, but covered with accessories of any kind. She also made some very racy shoots for Maxim and Vogue.

The first place to escape the cover image was TheInsider.com.

Is $ 1 million she has to pull or pictorial in Playboy and help struggling actress revive his career? Only time will tell. His 2008 New York Magazine do not shoot, but it was a few years ago. It would certainly be a positive thing to see her get her life back on track and have positive things happen for her, kept her going in the right direction.

Detroit Pistons set to part ways with Richard Hamilton

General Manager Joe Dumars said Wednesday night the team had reached a "verbal agreement" and the buyout will happen in the future. 33-year-old Hamilton spent the last nine seasons with the Pistons, leading them to the 2004 NBA title.

"We had a verbal agreement," said Dumars. "When the official, so I can get more details about why buyout instead of amnesty."

League's new amnesty clause allows the team to drop a player without pay shall count against the salary cap and luxury tax, but it seems that the Pistons will use it during cutting, Hamilton.

Hamilton was about to fall into last season with coach John Kuesten and sits on the bench most of the seven-week stretch. Both factors seem to be better at the end of the season, but Hamilton, on average only 14.1 points in 2010-11.

"It's hard to look like a boy to go," said center Ben Wallace, another member in 2004. Pistons. "I have won many battles with him, had a lot of fun with him. ... You hate to see him not being here, but I'm pretty sure the UP, he would return, he will land on his feet . "

Later Friday evening, a message popped up in Hamilton Twitter account: "Thank U to all my fans of Detroit. Love is all U. U is always a special place in my heart: Yessssssirrrrr"

Kuesten was dismissed after last season and replaced by Lawrence Frank, while the Pistons have a new owner: Tom Gores has acquired the team late last season.

Detroit now has to figure out how to reshape the roster and cut ties with Hamilton is an important step. Hamilton was one of several players who missed a shoot-around before a game in Philadelphia last season in one of the defining moments of the season. The coaching staff used only six players in a loss that night, but with those who were full shoot-around.

Now Hamilton will have a fresh start, and the Pistons will not have to keep him in the last two seasons of his contract. Tracy McGrady has also signed with the Atlanta Hawks.

Detroit is not moving all links to the past, though. The pistons again signed Tayshaun Prince.

"We feel he is the kind of guy who will take the lead in the right circumstances," said Dumars. "You can not just get rid of all ... You always have the right to have a veteran."

Prince was still a solid player for Detroit last season, starting 78 games.

"It was a commitment, and Tayshaun organization is that despite some problems that have arisen over the last two years that he still wanted a stamp," says Frank. "We felt that Tayshaun is still very high-level performer in the small forward position, and plus, it can now take a more global level, and some of our boys."

Detroit also signed the bill must be signed before Jonas Jerebko from Brandon Knight and Vernon Macklin and signed Jake Voskuhl, Kareem Rush Walker Russell Jr., and Brian Hamilton is a list of training camp.

It is less clear whether it will come back with Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey. The restricted free agent.

"He made his first speeches," said Dumars, who noted that Stuckey agent resume negotiations late Friday night.

Wallace returned after contemplating retirement late last season.

"I do not want to leave the game very late, I do not want to be too long," said 37-year-old Wallace said. "If it works out, it works: If not, I can live knowing that I gave it my best effort."

Marlins Making Move For C.J. Wilson

There have been several hours since the last Miami Marlins signed one of the best free agents in MLB winter meetings in Dallas before, but the team Loria shopping spree is not over yet.

When the court, the team of Albert Pujols seemed doomed to failure, Miami quickly signed a deal to former White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle in Miami. The team could sign another pitcher on Thursday, probably at the end of his dramatic metamorphosis in a week.

Wilson is a Californian who said that the idea of ​​pitching look closely at home, but the extra year in the Marlins' offer may be able to influence it.

Should we sign with the Marlins, the team would probably be trotting on a rotation of 2012 Wilson and the newly acquired Josh Buehrle Johnson, Anibal Sanchez and Ricky Nolasco. You would not be with this rotation is very happy, at Philadelphia, the four aces, but all other teams.

Wilson was also the fourth major sign free agent with the Marlins this week, in addition to Buehrle, SS Jose Reyes and closer Heath Bell. A marlin has been lobbying hard to Wilson signs with Miami: Logan Morrison. Twitter, the two are friends.

As for Prince Fielder, the plan seems broken, hours after he had appeared to be the team the next target. Multiple outputs reported Wednesday night that the team does not try to sign it.

The Marlins also worked Wednesday to reports that Hanley Ramirez at the trading platform block is canceled. Team president David Samson said the Palm Beach Post, "We are not evil [Ramirez and his performance], they are not angry against us, it's a very bizarre. This rumor is not really good . "

Ramirez should have been a restructuring of its own contract on learning new shortstop Jose Reyes asked outearn.
