Chargers shit so far. Season might end in 2 hrs.

Done.

The saints lucky to get out of Atlanta with that win last night after an uncharacteristic 4th quarter by Drew Brees. Squeaky bum time on the last drive.

Is anyone showing the Philly/viqueens game tonight? I seem to remember Gary Imlach saying something about Christmas schedules meaning it was unlikely that Channel 4 would be showing it. Surely he is not tell porkies?

Lets see:

1.15 am FIVB World Tour (as much a fan as I am of ladies volleyball, I think it could have been moved);
2.05am KOTV Boxing Weekly

;
2.35am World Sport ZZZzzzzz;
3.00am The Cat Returns (an animated 2002 movie which judging by the late hour is possibly not in huge demand).

Doesn't seem to be on Seanie, see if this works for you

I have a wee bet done on the pats at 14s and I think that is looking ok at the min. I also have the saints in a sort of sweep with my friends. They're struggling through so I hope one of them

yeah the pats look strong at the moment . i dreamed a couple of months ago that baltimore won it so i'm sticking with them . i hope green bay make the playoffs they were excellent against the giants last week .

Chargers finishing season well. Kansas lost.

Jim Harbaugh to leave Stanford to coach 49ers. Same route Bill Walsh took.

Oops for Michigan...

I dont think he was ever going to Michigan, they reckon it was between staying at Stanford (on improved terms of $4m per year) and the 49ers.

AZOffaly · January 07, 2011, 10:37:45 PM

Ah but Michigan did. Their AD almost promised it when he was getting rid of Rodriguez. Harbaugh is a 'Michigan Man'.

Of course the 49ers is a better job for him.

RealSpiritof98 · January 08, 2011, 11:58:57 AM

if only he could take his MVP with him

Looks like sad news for Ravens S Ed Reed. It says he's playing, but if anything develops you'd have to wonder.

****
Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed will travel with the team to Kansas City and play in Sunday's AFC wild-card playoff game following the possible disappearance of his brother.

A man believed to be a brother of Reed has been missing since Friday afternoon, when he reportedly jumped into the Mississippi River near St. Rose, La., to evade police.
