The Thunder Lose To The Hornets, Take Two
Chris Paul had a triple double in the Hornets 109-97 win over the Thunder. With 29 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds, Paul had help from David West who scored a season-high 33 points. Oklahoma City, who fired their coach P.J. Carlesimo Saturday was playing under the guidance of interim coach Scott Brooks. Clearly the change wasn't enough, as the Thunder dropped two games to the Hornets in as many days. More » -

Oklahoma Embarrasses Texas Tech
• Oklahoma destroyed Texas Tech 65-21 in a must win game, keeping their hopes for a championship alive and sending the Red Raiders limping home with sore bungholes. Sooners' quarterback Sam Bradford threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns and the running game contributed five more in an effort to make up for an earlier loss to Texas that threatened to derail their path to a national title. Also up for grabs is the Big 12 title as Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech are 10-1, 6-1 in the South. More » -

BCS Bid On The Line In Oklahoma
It's time for the big game, folks! No. 2 Texas Tech and No. 5 Oklahoma will battle it out for the division title and a spot in the BCS. The Red Raiders are trying to go undefeated for the first time after a week off, but the Sooners are averaging just over 51 points per game. Thanks to an earlier loss to Texas, Oklahoma needs to win out the rest of their season and have Texas lose their last game in order to top the division. More » -
Boxing
Tonight's HBO Show Headlined By Hot Chicks With Douchebags
I love boxing. I love the strategy, the head games, the athleticism, and of course the unparalleled drama it can offer. However tonight I'll be watching for another reason entirely. To put it simply, I want to watch Ricky "Hitman" Hatton and Pauli "Magic Man" Malignaggi beat the shit out of each other. It's not a matter of bloodlust, I just happen to dislike both fighters for various reasons and I think watching them beat the hell out of each other with their futures on the line is going to be quite enjoyable. Although both fighters enter with just one loss, both Hatton, the overindulgent Mancunian drunkard, and Malignaggi, Brooklyn's fragile-handed showman (or ponce, depending on which side of the pond you reside) are in desperate need of a convincing performance to move their stagnant careers forward. Continue after the jump for a preview of the main event as well as an undercard featuring the must-see youngster James "Mandingo" Kirkland and his terrifying and trailblazing trainer Ann(e) Wolfe.

What's Cuter Than A Mascot Holding A Box Of Kittens?
Those feisty folks at PETA are at it again. This week's target of their ire? The Denver Nuggets. Apparently the Nuggets involved a few live animals during a game and the animal rights organization is none too pleased, calling for action on their website. More » -

Hugh Is Impressed With What He Sees From the 'Eers
West Virginia, led by the fleet-footed Pat White, is having a field day on the ground in Louisville. Energized by a goaline stand to end the half the Mountaineers opened things up and have now compiled well over three hundred yards on the ground. White is leading the way with 199 yards and three touchdowns on the ground with two additional touchdowns coming through the air. Noel Devine is racking up the stats as well, having surpassed the 100 yard mark with ease thanks in part to one run of 79 yards. More » -

Hugh Aren't What You Used to Be
This interesting little piece of body comes from Rate My Tattoos (via FanIQ) and it's probably a pretty good representation of today's rivalry game. Ohio State is dominating Michigan to absolutely nobody's surprise behind a 59 yard Beanie Wells touchdown run and a 53 yard touchdown catch from Brian Hartline that has accounted for most of Terrell Pryor's passing yards. Pretty much everything about Michigan has been god fucking awful to this point. The only real question is whether they'll finish this game with or without positive offensive yardage. So far, it's looking like a toss-up. Elsewhere, Purdue is stomping their in-state rivals into the ground while West Virginia and Louisville are tied at 7 because Noel Devine stumbled on his way into the endzone on fourth down just before halftime.

Jets QB Not Named Favre Suspended For Violating Drug Policy

It seems that Jets Rookie QB Erik Ainge was suspended four games by the NFL on Friday for violating the league’s policy on steroids and related substances. It doesn't seem to be a huge loss for the team: More »1:00 PM on Sat Nov 22 2008

Erin Andrews Is Not A Fan Of The Facebook
• Erin Andrews chats with Dave Hollander, pretends not to know what Facebook is. Also thinks her being one of sports most talked about personalities isn't as good as being a cheerleader. In talking about her dancing says at Florida, Andrews says, "I'm still close with a lot of the girls. A few of them went on to become Lakers Girls, Denver Broncos cheerleaders. I was the only one who turned out to be nothing. All the rest of 'em danced for NFL teams and I didn't do anything." Oh gag me with the humility spoon. [FanHouse] More »
