...punted. It may be the most powerful sports league in the country, but it failed to stiff-arm the big cable companies into carrying the NFL Network on the league's terms. So sophomore NFL commish Roger Goodell made a veteran call in deciding to let NBC and CBS simulcast Saturday night's New England Patriots-New York Giants game. That game, in case you never get past Discovery Channel, could produce the NFL's first 16-0 season if the favored Pats dispatch the Giants, who have already qualified for the playoffs.

Instead of suspending football at the school altogether, reform-minded Miami-Dade Schools superintendent Rudy Crew purged much of Northwestern's administrative and football coaching staff. Then, he brought back a respected former Northwestern head coach, Billy Rolle, and hired a veteran principal, Charles Hankerson, with a mandate to emphasize grades over gridiron.
