STAND-UP SPORTS


SHOCKING UPSET
Oregon State upset the Number 1 ranked USC Trojans 27-21 on Thursday night. Things got so bad for the Trojans in the 4th quarter, they put in a call to Congress and asked for a bail-out plan of their own.



THE NFL HAS SPOKEN
NFL said Thursday it found no evidence of the Browns trying to intentionally hurt Baltimore Ravens RB Willis McGahee. The league did however rule the Browns tried to intentionally lose every game so far this season.



GOLDEN STATE INJURY
Golden State Warrior guard Monta Ellis severely sprained his ankle while riding a moped this week. The Warriors said they won't fine Ellis for injuring himself in a non-basketball incident but they will fine him based upon the the clause in his contract called the "Real men don't ride mopeds" clause.



THE MILLEN MAN MARCH OUTTA TOWN
The Detroit Lions have fired GM Matt Millen after amassing a team record of 31-84 since 2001. Which happens to be the worst record in the NFL for that time period. In fact, the only thing lower than the Lions' winning percentage is President Bush's approval rating.

In a related story, a new report out states that kids learn more and become smarter by being on a losing team, rather than a winning team. If this was the case, the Detroit Lion's players should all be Rhodes Scholars.
