The Monday Night Wars of professional wrestling have returned, but instead of feeling the competitive heat of Ted Turner's WCW, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is squaring off with a new enemy?TNA Wrestling. The seven-year-old company, backed by the hefty wallet of Panda Energy International, will air their first Monday night program on Jan. But for this to happen, a key situation has to be resolved.That situation is Al Davis....he needs to let this team evolve. Minnesota scored 68 points in two games, Bengals 31, Pittsburgh 37, and in the biggest game of the year, the Cardinals scored 51.Tough to give Charles Woodson the Defensive Player of the Year Award, when Kurt Warner has a career game and his defense gives up half a hundo in a win-or-go-home game.Jarrett Bush might as well clean out his locker, he'll be selling cars by Valentine's Day. The comparisons to Roy Williams are inevitable, but it really has been that long since Texas has fielded a prototypically indomitable wide receiver like Williams was and like Darius White could be.White, who committed at the Under Armour All-American Game over offers from every major school, gets the nod over WRs Da'Rick Rogers and Kyle Prater because of his innate speed.His elite size isn't a hindrance like it is to those other receivers, and though his route-running is a stretch, no receivers are running perfect routes out of high school.Texas' coaches can apply their outstanding positional knowledge and still take advantage of his explosive second gear.I'm predicting he lands at Williams' spot?No. African countries have a smattering of truly world-class players; Enough to form a formidable All-Continent side but not enough to make them genuine World Cup contenders.With infrastructure and organisation also a problem systemic to the continent's game, it would take a performance of epic individual proportions if an African side were to come away with the World Cup trophy in South Africa next summer, or in four years time.Towards the end of the decade, however, that might change, as the generation of players inspired by the examples of the likes of Didier Drogba and Michael Essien begin to emerge, aided in their development by the greater amounts of aid and financial backing given to footballing academies in certain African hotspots.Most of these academies are run by Europeans, however, and it is unlikely the stars of the future will ever play in their domestic leagues. "Fighting brings people from all cultures together unlike football or baseball, which are based here in America. 7 seed Los Angeles Kings.Heading into Game Three in Los Angeles, the Red Wings had a 2-0 series lead and were on their way to what most thought was a sure-fire series sweep.The Kings won Game Three. Then Games Four and Five. They were down by three goals in Game Six at home at the Staples Center, but came back to tie the game and send it into overtime.Forward Adam Deadmarsh roofed a shot past Detroit goalie Chris Osgood just minutes into the overtime period, completing the highly unlikely mid-series sweep.The game became known as "The Stunner at Staples."On Thursday night, the Red Wings provided the sequel to this story.Though this wasn't a playoff game and nothing more than two regular season points were on the line, the game had all the intensity of a playoffmatchup.The Los Angeles Kings played an unbelievably strong game.They carried the momentum, and the puck, nearly the entire time and utterly dominated the Red Wings.That is, every Red Wing except rookie goalie Jimmy Howard.Howard made a mind-boggling 51 saves (including 27 in the second period, a new single-period record for shots for LA) before being beat by a goal batted out of the air by Kings forward Ryan Smyth during a Kingspower play at 4:22 of the third period.This turned out to be the last shot on goal for the Kings.The game seemed destined for overtime as the final minute began ticking away, but Wings forward Darren Helm fired a shot past goalie Jonathan Quick, ensuring Howard's superhuman effort would not go unrewarded.The Red Wings have 22 wins.

Former Saints and Niners pass rusher Rickey Jackson was named as one of 17 finalists for the 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame’s election.Three first-year eligible players, Tim Brown, Jerry Rice (all-time receiving yards record holder), and Emmitt Smith (all-time rushing yards record holder), were among the 15 modern-era finalists announced last week.Joining the three first-year eligible players, are 11 other modern-era players and a longtime head coach. The 15 modern-era finalists will join the two senior nominees announced in August 2009 (former Detroit Lions cornerback Dick LeBeau and former Denver Broncos running back Floyd Little).The 17 candidates will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the Hall’s 44-member Selection Committee made mostly of PFWA members meets in South Florida on Saturday, Feb. Haynes is the only one who is currently not playing in the league. We all know he wasn't worth the first overall pick, but that's in the past. So get over yourselves. Take your time, have your short list on hand and be ready to talk to some coaches as soon as their perspective seasons are over Best demonstration of my advice?Unfortunately, USC They didn't do anything wrong.2.

In the recently released 911 call from his wife Shelley, Meyer's chest pains rendered him speechless and resulted in his rushing to the hospital by an ambulance.His planned haste in returning to coach the Gators is foolish.Why does Meyer insist on returning for the 2010 season if he claims that his health and his family are truly his priorities?Granted, the obvious answer is to save face with recruits, which is evidenced by Meyer telling Florida commit Mack Brown that he would be back by August 2010.

His last throw for a touchdown does little to make him feel better as all he hears is a ghostly whisper in his ear of "Thass zackly how I does of it." "Leave me alone Jamarcus." Brady pleads again silently. After aseverely disappointing year a season ago, the Fighting Irish are rebounding nicely.One word of caution: The Irish lost perhaps their toughest game thus far, ending up on the wrong side of a 72-58 scoreline against surprising Northwestern, and struggled to a home defeat against Loyola Marymount. He got past Russell Okung a few times, and that's very impressive..
