The big story after the AFC/NFC Championship games is not the upcoming Super Bowl. Its the NFC losing QB Jay Cutler and his demeanor. Cutler went into the locker room early before the end of the first half. He did return for only one series in the second half, but was pulled from finishing the game with a knee injury. Cutler stayed on the sidelines, standing on his injured knee, with a somewhat "don't care" attitude. This demeanor left the public to speculate how hurt was he. Current and former players, sitting at home watching the championship games, took to twitter to giver their opinions of Cutler. Most were to the effect of blasting the QB for not playing when he could stand. Cutler was injured, period. We question QBs when they stay in the game hurt and cost a team the game playing hurt, then blast a QB and coaching staff to trying to win the game with a better option.

Palmer is under contract with the Bengals until 2014, and has threatened to retire if his demands are not met.  Several teams throughout the NFL are looking for a starting QB.

 Media in Dallas have been monitoring the Manny Ramirez deal closely. Texas Rangers GM Jon Daniels made comments during Fan Fest yesterday that they were looking to add another veteran bat to the lineup. The assumption around the local media was Manny Ramirez. Fresh off surgery and ready to prove his worth, Manny has been in talks with several teams around the league. Rumors of him going to the AL West Angels have cooled down with the signing of OF Vernon Wells, a local Arlington product. Reports have now stated that a deal has been reached between the Tampa Bay Rays, Manny Ramirez and ex-teammate Johnny Damon.

  Jason Garrett's search for a new defensive coordinator is getting harder. After interviewing 49ers DC Greg Manusky, he meets with the upper brass of the San Diego Chargers. Many people assume that this will be a more attractive position with the volatility of Norv Turner as a head coach. Garrett is locked up for the next four years as head coach, or at least three in Jerry terms.   Interim defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni was announced as the new head coach for Big East winner UCONN. You can read Jason Garrett's and Jerry Jones' comments here .   This will be the first big decision for the new head coach and the most important one. The defense took a big decline from last season, even getting its architect fired in the process. The personnel needs changes and even scheme changes may be in order.

  With the playoff showdown set, Jets vs Pats III, the trash talk has been flying back and forth. Coach Rex Ryan started his banter even before the Colts game saying nobody studies film like Peyton Manning, not even Tom Brady though he would like to think so.   Bill Belichek, as always, has asked his team to adopt his stoic demeanor this week when baited by the press or the opposing team for headline fodder. Today things took a slight turn for the worst when Jets CB Antonio Cromartie shared his thoughts on Pats QB Tom Brady. When asked to describe him in a word, he used "asshole". He went on to say, "That's what I think about him. I don't really give a damn about him...I don't have to play against him. I play against the receivers."   Tom Brady's response, "I've been called worse. I'm sure there is a long list of people that feel that way."    Cromartie added that he hopes Brady throws the ball his way on Sunday. "I hope so,...

 The big winner from last night's BCS Championship may have been Auburn DL Nick Fairley. After an impressive performance against the high powered Oregon offense, Fairley may have solidified the #1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. A big performance in last year's Big 12 Championship catapulted Ndamakong Suh to the #2 pick after Sam Bradford. The 2-14 Carolina Panthers have the first pick in the upcoming. They just hired San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera as the new head coach. If Andrew Luck does stay at Stanford, no doubt the new coach will be looking to improve the defense.

  We have been following this trade since the the start of the season in hopes that our hometown team the Dallas Mavericks may benefit from Melo's talents. Looks like he will be a New Jersey Net in a few days.  Read the full story from our buddies Chris Broussard and Marc Stein  HERE

2011 AT&T COTTON BOWL POST GAME: RF SPORTS RADIO CYRUS GRAY INTERVIEW JORDAN JEFFERSON INTERVIEW LSU POST GAME PRESS CONFERENCE

  LSU opens up with more of the same. Jordan Jefferson beats the Aggie defense with his feet for a 35yd scamper. Follows that up with a another TD pass to Toliver, his 3rd. Jefferson making an early case for MOP.   QB Tennehill fails to see another rushing LSU LB and takes a big sack to give the ball back to a hot Tiger offense.     Aggie defense holds up. LSU misses a FG. 35-17   Only 7pts scored in the 3rd, lowest quarter in the game so far.

  Aggies start off the quarter missing a long FG try hitting the bottom post. LSU Tigers answer back, running the ball well. QB Jefferson is starting to see the running lanes the Aggie defense is allowing. He rushes for a TD on QB bootlegg after a Les Myles challenge to put the Tigers up 14-10.   Cyrus Gray, who is having a big night rushing, throws a TD on a halfback pass to Nwachukwu, his second of the game. 14-17   Les Myles and the LSU coaching staff is starting to push the running plays on a lethargic linebacker core of the Aggies. Von Miller has only 3 tackles in the first half. Spencer Ware, LSU RB, gets the Tigers in the red zone. Newly eligible running back Stevan Ridley takes a counter sweep 17yds for another LSU TD. Tiger fans can thank the NCAA for that one. 21-17   Tennenhill throws his first pick on a miscommunication with WR Frederick, giving the ball back to LSU.   Tennenhill threw another on their next position giving the ...

  Things started off well for the Aggies with a big return on the opening kickoff by Judie. The short field earned them the first score of the game, a 17yd pass to Nwachukwu. QB Tennehill was 3-3 on the opening drive. LSU's first possession was a 3 and out, until a roughing the punter call gave them a new life. After moving the ball a bit, Jefferson threw the first turnover. A one-handed pick by Judie.   Aggies took over on the 1yd line. Cyrus Gray drives the Aggies down to a FG to go up 10-0. He has 50yds on 7 carries for the first quarter.   LSU would finally answer back with a long 42yd TD throw by Jefferson to Toliver. A great finger tip grab by Tolliver splitting two Aggie defenders. 10-7

2011 NBA ALL-STAR BALLOTING EASTERN CONFERENCE 2011 NBA ALL-STAR BALLOTING WESTERN CONFERENCE Forwards: Forwards: LeBron James  (Heat)  1,194,091 Kevin Garnett  (Celtics)  850,687 Amar'e Stoudemire  (Knicks)  826,628 Paul Pierce  (Celtics)  465,270 Chris Bosh  (Heat)  334,921 Josh Smith  (Hawks)  225,951 Carlos Boozer  (Bulls)  222,431 Danilo Gallinari  (Knicks)  168,519 Danny Granger  (Pacers)  158,836 Andre Iguodala  (76ers)  150,840 Kevin Durant  (Thunder)  945,944 Carmelo Anthony  (Nuggets)  742,284 Pau Gasol  (Lakers)  702,859 Tim Duncan  (Spurs)  551,226 Blake Griffin  (Clippers)  540,701 Dirk Nowitzki  (Mavericks)  518,682 Lamar Odom  (Lakers)  285,667 Luis Scola  (Rockets)  258,407 Kevin Love  (T-Wolves)  233,273 Caron Butler  (Mavericks)  186,626    ...

  You would think with a team like OKC coming into to town, Caron Butler out for the year, and missing 5 straight games even Dirk would stand-up and say "Play Me". But no. The "Big German" will miss his 6th straight game, the longest consecutive miss streak in his career.   It's now up to Chandler, Mahinmi, and Haywood to keep Durant from hitting maybe 50. The Mavs are however coming off back-to-back wins without Dirk and Caron. Tonight will be a big test for this team.

ESPNDalllas.com story here!

   Today Caron Butler had season ending surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his knee. His last full game with the team he hit 30pts in a loss to the Spurs at home. On the road against the Milwaukee Bucks you can hear him screaming in pain when he hit the knee in the first quarter. You knew then, it was not gonna be good.   Dirk missed his 5th straight game tonight against the Portland Trailblazers, a win by the way. But they have Oklahoma City and Orlando coming up, so will they rush Dirk back? The "Big German" has been a quick healer. The Mavs are only 3 games ahead of the Lakers and Utah right now. The biggest concern has to be falling further behind the Spurs in the division and the conference.   Who will step up now? That is the million dollar question for this team. Deshawn Stevenson had 21pts against the Cavaliers and 18pts tonight. JJ Barea hit 29pts in the loss to the Bucks. Tyson Chandler has back-to-back double doubles in rebounds and points. Jet Terry ...

Ft Worth Star Telegram reported that Jason Garrett will be the head coach next year. Not true. Owner Jerry Jones commented today that despite reports nobody has been hired as the head coach for next season. He went on to add that everyone will be under evaluation in today's game against division opponent and Vick-less Eagles.   Based on our intel, this is still any one's job. Garrett at best will end the season with a 5-3 record. This is not good enough in Jerry's eyes. If he loses this game, a 4-4 record will put all chances of Garrett coaching in Dallas to zero.

  We have a great show planned for Monday Jan. 3, 2011. Full game wrap-ups of 2011 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl and 2011 TicketCity Bowl.
