The Best In Sports In 7 Days

I am dreaming of a New Orleans Saints vs. Tim Tebow Super Bowl.

Thursday, Dec. 8
NFL (7:30 p.m.-11 p.m. NFL Network): The 4-8 Cleveland Browns take on the 9-3 Pittsburgh Steelers. On paper, this game looks like a dog.

Friday, Dec. 9
College basketball (6-8 p.m. ESPN): How do you know it is basketball season? Florida Gators host Rider Broncs on national television. One question: Where the heck is Rider University?

Saturday, Dec. 10
College football (1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. CBS): It's as American as apple pie when Army takes on Navy in the final college football game before the bowls start.

Sunday, Dec. 11
NFL (noon-3 p.m. Fox): The New Orleans Saints travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans in a game that could have playoff implications for both teams. ... NFL (7:30 p.m.-11 p.m. NBC): The Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants in a huge NFC East matchup.

Monday, Dec. 12
NFL (7:30 p.m.-11 p.m. ESPN): Another dog of game on paper, as the 2-10 St. Louis Rams play the 5-7 Seattle Seahawks.

Tuesday, Dec. 13
College basketball (8-10 p.m. ESPN 3/ESPN full court): Florida Atlantic takes on the ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs on the Internet or pay-per-view (if you have it).

Wednesday, Dec. 14
College Basketball (8-10 p.m. ESPN 2): Tennessee Volunteers play the Charleston Cougars on a very slow sports night.

Congratulations to the Southern Miss Golden Eagles for beating Houston and losing $14 million for C-USA.

Delta State continues their playoff march in a semifinal game against Pittsburg State University. A win and the Fighting Okra will play for a Division II Championship for the second year in a row.

Did your dream include the Packers and Steelers dying in simultaneous plane crashes on the way to the Super Bowl to play? This ain't no dream, Bryan, this is pure dee fantasy. Get real Bryan. Just say no to drugs! You can thank me later.
