Maybe West Virginia Quarterback Pat White can spark some Heisman talk with his 50-yard touchdown run with 1:36 left in regulation to beat the Louisville Cardinals last night? Maybe not.

Minnesota Vikings receiver Troy Williamson is being fined $25,588.24 (one game salary) for missing last Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers to attend his grandmother’s funeral. What a great organization…

Around the NBA

• 34 million people tuned in to watch the Patriots/Colts game last Sunday. Roughly 93 million fans watched the Superbowl last season. But over 200 million will be glued to the tube in China to watch the Houston Rockets’ Yao Ming battle Milwaukee Bucks’ Yi Jianlian tonight. Beijing is ready are you?
• Nene hurt again…
• Coach Scott Skiles makes up with Joakim Noah, everything is happy time when you end your losing streak.
• The Dallas Mavericks avenged their play-off upset against the Golden State Warriors last night. But in reality, Stephen Jackson was out, Dirk struggled, and Baron Davis was dominant with 37points and missed a wide open three as time expired. So I really wouldn’t call this a convincing victory.
• Wizards are 0-4 after falling to the New Jersey Nets. It’s hard to win when you only get 19 points from players other than the big three.
