Iginla’s 3 points lift Flames by Jackets (AP)
The Calgary Flames have been getting contributions from just about everyone this season. It was finally captain Jarome Iginla’s turn. Iginla broke out of an extended scoring slump with a goal and two assists in the Flames’ 6-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. It was the first multipoint game of the season for Iginla, who had only four points in Calgary’s first…
Kiffin: Tide should be No. 1 over Gators (AP)

Thomas ends slump, gives Bruins SO win (AP)
Thomas ends slump, gives Bruins SO win (AP)
Tim Thomas picked up more at the Olympics than a silver medal and a dozen minutes of ice time. The U.S. backup once again looked like the goalie who won the 2009 Vezina Trophy on Thursday night, returning from a slump that left him on two different teams’ benches to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in a shootout.

Randolph’s 31 and 25 power Grizzlies (AP)
Zach Randolph overwhelmed them with his scoring and rebounding. Tracy McGrady lasted 15 minutes before calling it a night. Good thing all the New York Knicks’ moves are for the future. Because if they were about the present, all of them backfired Saturday night. Randolph had 31 points and a career-high 25 rebounds against his former team, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Knicks 120-109 to tie a…

The memory of a missed 3-foot putt did nothing to diminish Camilo Villegas’s game Thursday in the Phoenix Open. The 28-year-old Colombian tied the tournament first-round record with a 9-under 62 to take a one-shot lead over former Florida teammate Matt Every. Villegas regrouped with a bogey-free round Thursday after making the semifinals of the Match Play Championship last weekend, but missing…
Wild’s Bouchard waiting for head to heal (AP)
Wild’s Bouchard waiting for head to heal (AP)
Pierre-Marc Bouchard was supposed to be centering Minnesota’s second line this season. Instead, he’s been watching helplessly and without expression from a perch in the press box while the Wild play without him. His pads, jersey and helmet have been replaced by a black wool coat and a scarf. This is what recovering from a concussion can look like.

Online Casino Games Made Right
Have you read that online casino US is making changes on gaming, particularly on online gamling?
online gambling news now informs citizens that the federal government should make the decision if there is a need to make these online gambling sites legal, hence, the government should not make laws about its legality. Should the federal government decide on it being legal in their state, they have to find ways for online casino games to be legal, and yet still be able to collect the fines or community taxes for this.
Braylon Edwards tried to drop this 80-yard touchdown pass
Braylon Edwards tried to drop this 80-yard touchdown pass
When Braylon Edwards(notes) was streaking down the sideline toward a perfect Mark Sanchez(notes) pass in the second quarter of the AFC Championship the same thought had to have run through everyone’s mind: don’t drop it. The NFL’s most notorious pass dropper didn’t. But he darn sure tried.The picture above is pretty much a blueprint on how not to catch a football: His eyes are off the ball, his hands are up near his shoulders and the ball is on his fingertips. You could almost feel the anxiety as the ball fell into his arms and he began his 40-yard sprint for the end zone. Braylon Edwards got away with it this time. Maybe that will make next time a little easier.
Pressure Drop: The Cowboys-Vikings divisional round preview
As much as the pregame hype has been about Brett Favre(notes) and the Tony Romo(notes) who grew up idolizing him, the winner of the early Sunday game between the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings will have done one thing better than their opponent — they will have discovered and implemented ways to deflect pressure in pass plays, and out of passing formations. The Vikings may have the greater challenge. Their offensive line, led by tackles Bryant McKinnie(notes) and Phil Loadholt(notes), is vulnerable to quality pass-rushers, and the Cowboys have three in their front five — “endbackers” DeMarcus Ware(notes) and Anthony Spencer(notes), and tackle Jay Ratliff(notes). Dallas improved from 23rd to ninth in Football Outsiders’ Defensive Passing DVOA statistic in the second half of the 2009 season, and one of the main reasons was Spencer’s development. The third-year man had trouble getting to the quarterback in the first half of the season, but racked up seven sacks in his last seven games, including last week’s wild-card win against the Eagles. Spencer’s advent has opened up opportunities for Ware and Ratliff, as well — now, opposing lines can’t just commit to Ware on the edge. The Cowboys made Donovan McNabb’s(notes) life miserable over the last two weeks, but the Favre they’re facing today has less of a problem problem checking down out of pressure — with the line in front of him, it’s a survival mechanism. Making Adrian Peterson more of a factor in this game would be a good idea, but we’ve been saying that for a while. It’s Favre’s show, and the team will rise or fall on his performance.The Cowboys also have different ways of countering pressure, and it starts with an understanding of the importance of their running game. You’ll see them in a lot of two- and three-tight end sets, but it isn’t always about power football. Sometimes, it’s Jason Witten(notes) in the slot or flex, taking a linebacker out of a blitz idea. Dallas runs the draw play better than just about any team with the three-headed running back monster that is Marion Barber(notes), Felix Jones(notes), and Tashard Choice(notes). Defensive end Jared Allen(notes) can be worn down if you run right at him, and no team wants to run straight at the Williams Wall. The trick will be putting Allen and linemate Ray Edwards(notes) (the Spencer to Allen’s Ware) in a box by forcing them to read run keys too often. Then, Romo can set up play action and get the downfield looks he wants. Even if that doesn’t work for Romo, he will also have the ability to get stuff completed underneath Minnesota’s Cover- and Tamps-2 defensive concepts. The Cowboys have a big, bruising offensive line — not really designed for nimble pass-blocking, but certainly not the liability that Minnesota’s line has become. While Favre has played at an incredible level this season, Romo might be the hotter quarterback now. He’s got a great rapport with Witten and receiver Miles Austin(notes), and he’s greatly improved his decision-making and feel in the pocket. That might just be the difference in a win that would take the Cowboys to their first NFC Championship game since 1995.
