Much like America, the team commonly referred to as America's Team has fallen on some hard times. The Dallas Cowboys ended a drama-filled 2008 season on the wrong end of a 44-6 beat down courtesy of the Philadelphia Eagles in a must-win Week 17 game. The last time the 'boys won a playoff game, quarterback Tony Romo was 16 and Bill Clinton was in the White House.

Ducks 2, Avalanche 1, OT - Even in a loss, Colorado's Peter Budaj proved why the goalie is the most important player in hockey. He made 36 saves to keep the Avs in the game, while his teammates managed just three shots in the third period and none in overtime. The final shots-on-goal margin was 38-12, so the scoreboard could have been a lot worse for Colorado. Anaheim showed a major improvement over their 16 shots the day before, and their stingy defense didn't mind having Scott Niedermayer back for his third game of the year.

Hope Solo might be the best thing to happen to women's soccer since the 91ers (if you don't know who they are, read my DVD review from earlier today). She's grabbing intriguing headlines for the US women's soccer team -- a squad that otherwise embarrassed itself this month and would be wallowing in anonymity at the moment. In case you missed it, Solo, the starting goalkeeper, was benched just before the team's loss to Brazil...

think. It just made us wonder: if it were up to the -ist-a-verse, what would we be voting for?

improvident \im-PROV-uh-duhnt; -dent\, adjective: Lacking foresight or forethought; not foreseeing or providing for the future; negligent or thoughtless. As in: Terrell Owens alleged suicide attempt could be seen by some as another attempt at humanizing this otherwise arrogant and improvident man. Wow, LAist lives to use a word of the day in a sentence and it's just uncanny with the revelation today that poor, poor TO might have tried to off himself last night....

And they both happen to be football-related. The first is agent Drew Rosenhaus parlaying on his otherwise embarrassing Terrell Owens press conference. The other is Peyton Manning busting with the fake moustache which is the It-male accessory of the summer.

The biggest story in the NFL this year has been the ongoing soap opera that continues to play out between Terrell Owens and the Philadelphia Eagles. Things hit rock bottom this week with the team suspending the Pro Bowler after he pissed off just about everyone and anyone that has anything to do with the organization. But LAist would like to take this opportunity to intervene and suggest the perfect solution to his dilemma for all parties involved.

This Sunday promises to be the most wonderful time of the year, and that can only mean one thing: Nipplegate II. Yes, Super Bowl Sunday is here in full force, and LAist just can’t wait to see what Paul McCartney does to top Janet Jackson’s ode to the FCC halftime set from a year ago.

NBC4 reports today that ABC has issued an apology for their steamy pre-game intro to its "Monday Night Football" broadcast that featured some of the actresses from "Desperate Housewives."
