The Detroit Lions finally snapped a 19-game losing streak when they defeated the Washington Redskins 19-14. Lions owner William Clay Ford said his organization not only got the monkey off their back, "we got King Kong off our back." The Lions (1-2) had not won a game since December 23, 2007, which was the second-longest losing streak in NFL history (Tampa Bay holds the record with 26 straight losses). Detroit lost every game last season and...more
The Los Angeles Galaxy are focused on bringing home a third championship. They clinched their first division title in seven years with a 2-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes. The win gave Los Angeles (12-6-12) home field advantage in the playoffs. The Galaxy are returning to the postseason for the first time since 2006. Los Angeles forward Landon Donovan, who led the Galaxy to the 2005 MLS championship after winning two titles with San Jose, told the press the victory was "a huge reward." The forward continued to say that his club worked really hard and did not want the game to slip away against the Earthquakes. The confident soccer player also mentioned that he can't imagine that anybody would want to play Los Angeles in the playoffs.The Galaxy won it all in 2002, but has stumbled in the three years since, failing to make the postseason under coach Ruud Gullit. The rebuilding process started when former U.S. national team coach Bruce Arena was brought in during August of 2008 and has had tremendous success with the Galaxy. The coach said, "(A regular-season title) certainly wasn't something we were thinking about as we started to rebuild the team in the offseason." Arena...more

Mark Sanchez is bound to have some ups and downs this season, but he's been supremely impressive thus far.

Denny Hamlin took the spotlight in late October as his No. 11 FedEx Toyota crossed the finish line first at Martinsville, but really the whole day was still all about Jimmie Johnson, the second-place finisher of the day. Despite taking the backseat to Hamlin in the Martinsville race, Jimmie Johnson still maintained his first-place standing in the Chase, increasing his lead by 118 points over second-place competitor Mark Martin with four races left to go.Now that Johnson is so far ahead of the rest, NASCAR fans are worried that he will solidify his win in the Sprint Cup Series early this season - a first in Chase history. The Sprint Cup Series has four more races to run this year (at Talladega, Texas, Phoenix and Homestead, respectively,) and with Johnson so far in the lead, the Homestead race on Nov. 22 might not even count for competition if he clinches the lead before then. In fact, some NASCAR drivers are even so certain Jimmie Johnson will win the title this year they've already thrown in the towel. Juan Pablo Montoya, though still continuing to race his hardest, acknowledged that fact over the weekend, saying, "The way he's running, you've probably got to win the next [four]...more
