Let's all imagine it's the final day of the Olympics, there are 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the gold-medal game, the score is tied and the United States has the ball.

We'll pose this as a quiz:

Handicapping Phelps' run at Olympic glory

BookerT316 — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 05:03:02 GMT

Michael Phelps' pursuit of the great eight begins Saturday.

Immortality will be chased over the ensuing nine days, as Phelps attempts the most ambitious Olympic program in swimming history -- five individual events and three relays against the best in the world. If he completes the sweep, Mark Spitz and every other Olympian -- in every sport -- will be shoved aside. Nobody has ever won eight gold medals in a single Games, and it would give Phelps 14 for his career -- another record.

Memo to Jets fans: Don't expect ultimate payoff with Favre

BookerT316 — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 05:00:05 GMT

Barring a miracle voting push for Raiders great Ken Stabler, Brett Favre will be the next quarterback selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame four years after he officially retires.

That would make him the 24th modern-era quarterback to go into the Hall. The trade to the New York Jets won't tarnish his Packers legacy. Favre's a first-ballot Hall of Famer, end of story.

The potentially sad part of the Favre story is the odds are against his leaving the league on a high ...

Favre in complete control of his future

Rud Master — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:20:21 GMT

Brett Favre, who announced his retirement in March, is now in complete control of his future.

For years, Brett Favre controlled the Packers' huddle. Now, in a way, he controls his fate.

To be reinstated off the reserve/retired list, all Favre would have to do is simply send written notification to the Packers and the NFL of his intentions to play.

From the moment the league receives the letter, it would give the Packers approximately 24 hours to either activate or release Favre, ...

A running trend: Ground games could make a big comeback

Rud Master — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:14:23 GMT

The Jaguars are the only team over the last three years to run the ball more than then they throw it. Will more teams look to copy that formula in 2008?

The NFL has become a pass-to-set-up-the-run league over the past twenty five years. The rules favor the offense when it comes to the aerial attack; the necessity to score more points and the kind of athletes playing the game all seem to point to passing rather than running the ball.

Things may be changing, however. Back in ...

This is a flaw in the make up of the A.I. so to preform this isn't that hard you just have to go to the practice mode and run the play to get the feel of it, now it may take you 30min to get it, but once you got it, you got it.

1) pick any play that has the TE running a post and the WR running a streak.

Thats all you realy need is this combo of routes.

Now the fun starts, when the TE get about ten yards down the field, pumpfake 1 to 2 times, then throw to the WR running the streak ...

LOS ANGELES - With 2:17 left in the game, and the shot clock about to expire, Deron Williams launched a jumper an estimated 26 feet from the basket. From where I was sitting, near Utah's basket, it looked even better than that, hoisted from a range that should have merited four points instead of a mere three.

The hoop seemed to grant the Jazz a measure of hope. Now they were down just a point, 101-100.

"I thought we were going to win," said Williams.

ATLANTA - Michael Turner arrived late for a recent interview because he was closing on a new house.

I wasn't about to complain. What's an hour compared to the four seasons Turner pined to become a bell-cow running back?

Smith stepping forward in Ravens' QB race

OWINGS MILLS -- With his helmet on a swivel, Troy Smith identified his target, planted his cleats and delivered a tight spiral into the waiting fingertips of rookie wide receiver Justin Harper for a touchdown.

As the Baltimore Ravens' quarterback lofted the football behind two defensive backs to hit Harper in stride during a Wednesday passing camp, it was a prime example of the improvement the former Heisman Trophy winner has displayed this offseason in making a viable bid for the starting ...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - His face just hit by a line drive, Nick Blackburn flung his arms out and flopped on the turf in front of the mound.

The Minnesota Twins feared the worst, and so did Bobby Abreu - whose powerful swing produced that liner with one out in the fifth inning of Sunday's game between Minnesota and the New York Yankees.

But the rookie right-hander quickly rose to his feet and walked off the field on his own, a towel pressed to his face to keep the blood from spurting out ...

In MMA's national TV debut, the headline bout ended in controversy, with one of the fighters being taken to the hospital and the other being booed by the crowd.

Kimbo Slice beat James Thompson by TKO after a very questionable ending. After more than two hard-fought rounds, Kimbo railed on Thompson's inflated left ear, causing major bleeding and forcing the referee to end the fight too quickly.

Horrible decision. Thompson wasn't any more dazed than he was at any point in the fight. ...

D'Antoni not the answer for Knicks

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mario Manningham has given people a lot to talk about with all his off the field problems.

On the field with the New York Giants for the first time Friday, the troubled third-round draft pick from Michigan showed flashes of why he might have been one of the biggest steals in the NFL draft.

Chris Long learned pretty quickly that his status as the St. Louis Rams' No. 1 pick in this year's draft does not disqualify him from rookie chores.

In his first day as a pro, the 6-foot-3, 279-pound defensive end from the University of Virginia was forced to lug the helmet of veteran defensive tackle La'Roi Glover from the indoor practice facility to the locker room at the beginning and end of the Rams' two-hour workout.

The Central Florida running back and nation's leading rusher in 2007 was chosen atop the third round of the NFL draft Sunday. The Lions even traded up two spots with Miami for the privilege of beginning the second day by grabbing Smith.

Last season, Smith rushed for 2,567 yards and scored 29 touchdowns. ...
