Highlight Of The Night: Daniel Alfredsson scored a short-handed goal with under 30 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game and Colin Greening scored in double overtime to complete the Senators miraculous come-from-behind victory....

HOUSTON -- When an offensive highlight of the night is a double from the pitcher that didn't even lead to a run, it was probably an effort not worthy of distinction. The Cubs have now gone 59 consecutive innings without holding a lead. The last ti...

HOUSTON -- It was the only highlight of the night for the Texas Rangers. Outfielder David Murphy hit a three-run inside-the-park home run in the third inning of Saturday night's 6-5 loss to the Houston Astros. It was Murphy's first career insid...

Derek Jeter got the Yankees' offense off to a roaring start on Thursday night, driving Jeff Niemann's very first pitch of the game into center field for a leadoff double -- career hit No. 2,998. That was the Yankees' highlight of the night, howeve...

DEVILED (GOOSE)EGGS 12-0 Duke never trailed against 0-12 UNC Greensboro, and so Mike Krzyzewski now trails only Bob Knight on the all-time list of winningest D-I coaches. The 44-point win means that Krzyzewski now has 880 of them, and since Knight s...

LAKERS LEAKING After the Spurs jingle-jangle-jingled the Lakers by 15 points in San Antonio last night, Los Angeles wakes up this morning to find (a windy and rainy Wednesday, with highs reaching 58, and) itself on a three game skid. And each of tho...

Sidney Crosby extended his points streak to 23 games when he scored the opening goal in Washington against the Capitals. That's the fourth-longest such streak in the last 20 years. And because Pascal Dupuis came through in the bottom of the 7th round...

WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS Was a bit sloppy. Boise State came in outscoring its opponents 170-28 in the first quarter this season. Yet somehow, they found themselves down 3-0 entering the second quarter last night against Utah. Then Doug Martin broke o...

UCONN DO IT You know that 89 is more than just the number of Iron Mike Ditka. Because it's also the number of Alexander Mogilny. And it's also the 11th number of the Fibonacci sequence. And it's also the smallest Sophie Germain prime number to star...

DEVIN HESTER IS RIDICULOUS On a dark and snowy Monday night in Minnesota, Brett Favre went out and started against the Bears (current NFL games-started streak: 1). He had the Vikings up 7-0 on a 23-yard touchdown pass to Percy Harvin, but then he we...

When the Patriots beat the Packers 31-27, Tom Brady extended his NFL-record regular-season home-game winning-streak to 27 games. That streak dates back to 2006. He did it by completing the game without an interception, and is now up to 292 straight c...

Spurs 113, Nuggets 112: For the 2nd time in as many nights, Manu Ginobili hit a game-winning shot for the Spurs, who won their 7th straight game. Ginobili also drew a charge on Carmelo Anthony with under a second left on an attempted game winning flo...

Celtics 118, Knicks 116: Amar'e Stoudemire's 3-point field goal as time expired was too late as the Celtics extend their winning streak to 11 games. The Celtics improved to 10-3 on the road this season and 6-1 in their last 7 against the Knicks. Paul...

THREE STEPS BACK, 12 STEPS FORWARD Over in the nation's capital, Kobe Bryant was fouled on a three-point try. He missed it. Then he stepped to the line, and missed the free throw. Then he stepped to the line again, and missed the free throw again. T...

HOUSTON HAS A PROBLEM Josh Wilson's overtime pick-six for the Ravens was the 18th regular-season walk-off interception touchdown since the NFL adopted overtime (see: 1974) and it was the first since Charles Tillman did it for the Bears in 2005. And...

INTERESTING CHOICE DeSean Jackson had four catches for 210 yards. 91 of those yards came on one catch, and marked the longest play from scrimmage in the NFL this season. Good thing it ended up in a touchdown. And since his Eagles ended up as three-p...
