The success of road teams in the NFL playoffs this month has impressed the oddsmakers.
Will this be Donovan McNabb's last weekend as the Eagles quarterback?
The sports media can be viewed as miserable and bitter in those hard-bitten Eastern cities like New York, Boston and Philly. They’re not happy up there unless they’re miserable or they’re making someone else miserable. Always looking for a looming cloud at the end of every perfect horizon. Negative, negative, negative.
Justin Tuck chuckled when he was asked if the Philadelphia Eagles are this year's version of the New York Giants, a low-seeded wild-card team that can go all the way.

Dear Mr. President-Elect,

Exactly why the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays tangle so much is hard to tell. Blame it on a high-and-tight pitch here, a hard slide there.

"There's no hatred," injured Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling insisted Tuesday in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
