6) Want an NHL trade to remember? On April 3, 2013, the Washington Capitals traded Filip Forsberg to Nashville for Martin Erat and Michael Latta. Forsberg might win the Calder Trophy. End of trade analysis.7) If Wally Buono and I had our way, the CFL would be a nine-team league that would send the two best teams to the Grey Cup. Yes, that might mean an end to the Grey Cup tradition of East vs. West. That might mean a Grey Cup in Vancouver featuring teams from Calgary and Edmonton. Who would have a problem with that? With Rogers Centre attendance figures in hand, Im waiting to hear that someone in Toronto would have a problem with that.8) After the first week of the NBA season, who stands out? Golden States Klay Thompson, thats who. He just might be worth the four-year, $70 million rookie contract extension that raised eyebrows when it made him the Warriors highest-paid player. You are reminded that Stephen Curry plays for the Warriors.9) As Ernie Banks would say "Lets play three". Do you wonder why NHL coaches routinely use two goalies when theyre faced with back-to-back games? Jason LaBarberas weekend would suggest its not necessary. LaBarbera played on Friday and Saturday for the AHLs Norfolk Admirals and was recalled by Anaheim to serve as John Gibsons backup on Sunday against Colorado. Gibson was hurt in the warmup. LaBarbera played his third game in three nights and the Ducks won 3-2.10) Wouldnt it be something if the Ottawa Redblacks one-point win over the Toronto Argos in the Redblacks first-ever home game should wind up costing the Argos a playoff spot? Thats possible, but this is definite--the Argos would be out if they managed to lose to Ottawa a second time in Ottawas last game of an otherwise awful first season.11) Okay to re-tweet this? "Hard to beat the Giants winning formula--get a lead and turn it over to the closer for the final 15 outs".12) Who saw this coming? Ben Roethlisberger has thrown 12 touchdown passes in his last two games. He had 10 in the Pittsburgh Steelers first seven games.13) And what do you make of this? The Montreal Canadiens are tied for first place in the NHL East and their opponents have outscored them 35-31.14) Remember when each and every NHL suspension was a big story? Now, they are routinely mentioned and generally ignored, seldom debated and simply taken for granted as part of what goes on in the NHL.15) I guess it makes sense that Paul Molitor is the manager of the Minnesota Twins--he was born there, got his 3,000th hit there, finished his career there and coached there. But wasnt it always a good idea that the MVP of the 1993 World Series and one of the Blue Jays most popular players, and people (though he only spent two years with them) manage in Toronto?16) Should Jon Cornish have played in a game that meant nothing in the standings to the Calgary Stampeders? It allowed him to record his third straight 1,000-yard season, but he left the game with another concussion. By the time they host the Western final, the Stampeders will have gone four weeks without playing a game that mattered, so its understandable that they need to stay sharp. More importantly, tho, Cornish needs to stay healthy.17) If this sort of thing appeals to you, ESPNs MLB Future Power Rankings puts the Toronto Blue Jays at #18 when assessing the chances for success of all 30 teams over the next five years. If thats depressing, consider that the outlook for the San Francisco Giants entering the 2014 season was worse--San Francisco was #19. #1 this time? Andrew Friedmans LA Dodgers.18) In NASCAR news, what could be worse than Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski getting out of their cars and fighting? Sure-- staying inside their cars and fighting.19) From this seasons daly returns, which was the best NHL free-agent signing? a) Ryan Miller by the Vancouver Canucks b) Jonas Hiller by the Calgary Flames c) Radim Vrbata by the Vancouver Canucks?20) If Mayor John Tory is serious about reducing Torontos traffic congestion, why doesnt he tell the Leafs to leave Stuart Percy with one team or the other?

Smith Center. Roy Williams Tar Heels have a little bit of momentum building as they head in to the new year and conference play in the ACC. At 9-3 overall, UNC has reeled off three straight wins, including a big showdown with nationally-ranked Ohio State in Chicago on Dec. 20 (82-74). The team followed that up with an impressive blowout of UAB in Chapel Hill this past weekend, 89-58. UNC alum Tony Shaver is the head man at William & Mary and his Tribe have struggled of late after a strong start to the season. The team, which is now 6-4 on the year, has suffered losses in three of its last four games, including a 69-62 setback at Old Dominion last time out. North Carolina holds 19-3 advantage in the all-time series with William & Mary. The Tribe havent beaten the Tar Heels since 1977 and have lost seven straight to UNC since then. William & Marys scoring output belies an efficient team at the offensive end. The Tribe are averaging a modest 69.7 ppg on the year, but are doing so on a solid .482 shooting, which includes an impressive .402 from behind the arc. Senior guard Marcus Thornton is a big reason for the offensive success, as he is averaging a hefty 19.3 ppg, while converting 30-of-67 shots from long range. Omar Prewitt is a distant second in the scoring column for William & Mary at 10.8 ppg and is followed closely by Daniel Dixon and his 10.7 ppg. The Tribe hit nine 3-pointers and shot tthe ball at a 45.dddddddddddd7-percent clip against Old Dominion, but were abused on the boards, getting outrebounded by the Monarchs, 41-24. Thornton led the way once again in the scoring column for the Tribe with 22 points. Dixon finished with 16 and Prewitt poured in 15 in the losing effort. The Tribes accuracy from the floor will be put to the test against UNC, which ranks in the top-10 nationally in field-goal percentage defense (.351), while allowing just 65.1 ppg. North Carolina is even more dangerous thanks to the ability to fill up the basket to the tune of 80.9 ppg. The Tar Heels also enforce their will on the glass, with a +9.2 rebounding margin. Star guard Marcus Paige is the teams top scorer at 13.6 ppg. Kennedy Meeks is the resident muscle down low with a near double-double of 13.3 points and 9.4 rebounds per outing. Brice Johnson (11.8 ppg, 7.0 rpg) rounds out the double- digit scoring threats for UNC, although Justin Jackson (9.8 ppg) and J.P. Tokoto (8.6 ppg) are eager to join the group. The Tar Heels held the Blazers to just nine field goals in the first half and raced out to a 21-point lead a the break (44-23). A similar fate befell UAB in the second half, as the visitors managed a mere .281 shooting effort over the final 20 minutes in the lopsided affair. North Carolina had a balanced attack, as six players logged double digits in the scoring column. Paige led the charge with 16 points. Meeks just missed a double-double with 14 points and nine boards. Jackson tallied 13 points, followed by Johnson (11 pts), Isaiah Hicks (11 pts) and Nate Britt (10 pts).

HOUSTON -- Since signing with Houston this summer, Dwight Howard has been telling everyone that Terrence Jones had a chance to be a very good player. Lately, Jones has been making his new teammate look pretty smart. Jones had a career-high 36 points and 11 rebounds, and the Rockets led from the start in a 114-104 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. "Hes been doing an excellent job," Howard said. "Hes still growing as a player and hes learning the game at a very fast pace, which is great." Jones had 25 points by halftime, matching his previous career-best set on Wednesday, and James Harden added 22 points. The second-year player has averaged 22.25 points in Houstons four games this week. "I was just trying to offensive rebound and do all the little things Ive been doing," said Jones, who had six offensive boards. "It was just coming to me tonight." Houston led by 17 points before the Bucks got within six points in the third quarter. The Rockets responded with a big run to extend the lead and hold on for the victory. Brandon Knight scored 26 points with seven assists for the NBA-worst Bucks, who have dropped eight in a row. Jones received a standing ovation when he grabbed a rebound off a missed 3-pointer by O.J. Mayo and dribbled by him with a slick spin move before driving into the lane and finishing with an off-balance layup to push the lead to 112-97 with about 2 1/2 minutes remaining. "From a physical standpoint he outmuscled us," Milwaukee coach Larry Drew said of Jones. "We knew we had to slow down Dwight and slow down James Harden and defend those guys at the 3-point line, but you dont factor in a guy like that having that type of game." Howard added 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets, Aaron Brooks had 10 points and four assists and Jones also had two blocks, a steal and an assist. John Henson had 20 points and 15 rebounds for Milwaukee and Luke Ridnour added 14 points. Houston led by 13 points with about 7 minutes left in the third quarter when Milwaukee went on a 9-2 run thanks to two 3-pointers by Knight and one by Ersan&nbbsp;Ilyasova to cut the lead to 75-69.dddddddddddd The Rockets were up by seven soon after that when they scored nine straight points to push the lead to 89-73. Harden got that spurt going with a layup before Howard made two free throws before sinking a rare 3. The 6-foot-11 Howard, who often jokes that he should be allowed to shoot more 3s, smiled broadly and pointed at his teammates as he trotted down the court after hitting the long shot. It was his second 3 this season and the fourth of his nine-year career. The Bucks had three turnovers during that Houston run before ending their offensive drought by scoring the next five points. But Brooks swiped the ball from Knight after that, passed it to Harden, who finished with a two-handed slam to leave Houston up 91-78 entering the final period. The Rockets bounced back from a tough loss to Oklahoma City on Thursday night in which they set an NBA record for the largest scoring differential between two halves by scoring 73 points in the first half and a franchise-low 19 after halftime. Theyd matched the 19 points they scored then with 5 minutes remaining in the first quarter en route to a 62-52 halftime lead. Jones had five dunks in the first half and scored four points in the last 33 seconds of the half, capped by a nifty put back with 1.3 seconds left. He was particularly good in the second quarter when he was a perfect 7 for 7 from the field and made seven of his eight free throws for 21 points. "Hes got enough skill that he can put the ball on the floor, he can make shots, he can drive, he can finish, he can pass," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "Hes a very versatile player and tonight he had it going." Jones played just 19 games as a rookie last season after being selected out of Kentucky with the 18th overall pick in the 2012 draft. He has appeared in 39 games this season with 34 starts. The 22-year-old Jones is the second-youngest Rocket to have a 30-point game behind Hakeem Olajuwon. NOTES: Milwaukees Gary Neal missed the game with a stomach illness. ... Ridnour got a technical midway through the second quarter and Larry Sanders got one in the third.
