Sports for Monday

The Colts are the second seed right now in the AFC after being dropped by the Jacksonville Jaguars 44 to 17. Peyton rushed for a touchdown, threw one pick, and ended up 25 for 50 with 313 yards in the loss. The Colts D...worst in the league against the run...gave up 375 yards on the ground. San Diego takes over the top spot in the AFC after slapping down Denver 48 to 20. LDT scored another 3 touchdowns. Minnesota stopped Detroit 30 to 20. The Bears still own the top seed in the NFC and the best lead in the league...they play tonight in St. Louis. Craig will be in the stands with some form of frosty beverage.

The Bulls were off last night and host the Pacers tonight. The Pistons are off until Wednesday. The 76ers are reportedly going to trade Allen Iverson either tonight or tomorrow...a couple of multiple-team trades are on the table. Speculation is that he'll possibly land in Minnesota when all is said and done.

The Chicago Blackhawks pulled off another win on the home ice last night, beating Edmonton 4-1. The 'hawks are unbeaten in regulation in their last 7 games. Chicago also signed veteran forward Peter Bondra to a one-year contract. He's a five-time all-star just two goals shy of 500-lifetime.

Fifth-year Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith was the closest to unanimous choice for the Heisman Trophy over the weekend. He picked up over 85 percent of the national vote. ESPN reports that Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn, also a candidate, said "I would have voted for Troy. I really think he did a great job all year not allowing the pressure to get to him, doing a good job for his team and getting his team to the national championship game." Notre Dame has been at seven Heismans and holding since Tim Brown won in 1987. For the second consecutive season, a school has pulled even with Notre Dame. Last year, it was USC. Now the Buckeyes have won their lucky seventh.


After all the hype with the 51 million dollars to talk to the man, talks between the Boston Red Sox and Japanese Pitcher Daisuke Matzusaka are dying, and a deal is not expected to be struck before the dealine Thursday.

First there was Paul...then there was Mick...and now there's Prince. For the third year in a row, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act will headline the Super Bowl halftime entertainment. This time it's Prince. The Purple One, six-time Grammy winner and nominated for five more this year, will play at the game in Miami on Feb. 4.
