It's mind-boggling that the Seahawks are playing Sunday to win the NFC West, but they are. Will Seattle suddenly find a defense to beat the first-place Rams at home? LeCharles Bentley tells us in NFL Two-a-Days. Click below to watch:
Two mixed martial artists had very different results when they took on kickboxers at the New Year's Eve Dynamite!! event in Japan, as Gegard Mousasi put on a striking clinic in beating K-1 heavyweight champion Kyotaro, while Shinya Aoki was knocked out by Yuichiro Nagashima. Mousasi is first and foremost an MMA fighter, but he showed once again that he has K-1-level striking. Mousasi was nothing short of sensational in beating Kyotaro, knocking down the Japanese champ in the second round with a beautiful combination of punches. It was the second time Mousasi has beaten an experienced K-1 veteran under K-1 rules on a New Year's Eve card in Japan; Mousasi also beat the Japanese kickboxer Musashi two years ago.cbs sports spectacular cbs sports nfl cbs sports football theme

Bill Lajoie, a longtime baseball scout and executive who helped assemble one of the most dominant teams in modern history, the 1984 Detroit Tigers, has died at age 76. Lajoie spent more than 50 years in the game, from his days as a minor league outfielder to his final job as a senior advisor to Pirates general manager Neal Huntington the last two seasons. But he is best known for his work with the Tigers. He was named general manager in Detroit in 1984 and in his first season oversaw a team that got off to a 35-5 start and finished 104-58 in the regular season before cruising to a World Series title.

STORRS, Conn. -- Randy Edsall never would have confessed this 12 years ago. He certainly would have been hesitant to admit it in 2002, the year Connecticut officially ushered in a new era of big-time football as a Division I-A (now FBS) school. But standing in the lobby of UConn's state-of-the-art Burton Family Football Complex last week, just days before his team departed for Glendale, Ariz., and Saturday's Fiesta Bowl meeting with Oklahoma, it seemed safe for Edsall to share his most honest memory from Dec. 21, 1998. That's the day he was introduced as head coach at UConn - a day he will never forget. "I was interviewed in Atlanta and I took the job sight unseen," Edsall said. "When I got here, I said to my wife ... I said, 'What? What did I do?' The press conference was at (UConn's basketball arena) Gampel Pavilion and I remember looking out and saying, 'This is (Memorial Stadium), where we're going to play.' You just wonder. "You have goals and you have aspirations and dreams that you want to accomplish. But when you take a look, it's hard to see 12 years down the road. It's hard to see past all those things." On the day of that press conference, UConn's facilities might have been the worst in all of college football. High schools had more modern complexes.

When Bobby Jenks took a pot-shot at Ozzie Guillen's bullpen management Tuesday, it figured to only be a matter of time before the outspoken White Sox manager fired back at his former closer. The return volley did arrive, but instead of coming from Guillen himself, it came in the form of a personal attack on Jenks from Ozzie's son Oney via Oney's Twitter account. In a series of Tweets, Oney's profane rant accused Jenks of having a drinking problem that affected his pitching and resulted in an incident with a clubhouse attendant. He also accused Jenks of not caring when his poor performances hurt the team, self-diagnosing injuries to stay off the mound, and a host of other similar complaints.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a one-year deal with right-handed relief pitcher Takashi Saito. Saito was 2-3 with a 2.83 ERA in 56 appearances for the Atlanta Braves last season. He has a 17-13 career record with a 2.19 ERA in five major league seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston and Atlanta. The 40-year-old native of Japan also has 84 career saves, including 81 with the Dodgers from 2006-08. Saito, who is expected to fill the setup role for closer John Axford, joins a radically remade Brewers pitching staff. The team made two significant trades for starting pitching earlier this month, acquiring 2009 Cy Young winner Zack Greinke from Kansas City and Shaun Marcum from Toronto.

For a certain kind of MMA fighter, New Year's Eve in Japan represents a simple math problem. It's about risk versus reward, money versus pain and embarrassment, and, more often than not, overflowing optimism versus some very long odds. Mostly though, it's about money. That might not be the only reason Todd Duffee reportedly agreed to end a tumultuous 2010 with a fight against Alistair Overeem on this year's Dynamite!! New Year's Eve show, but it's definitely one of the reasons. By all indications, Duffee stands to make a nice chunk of change (somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000, according to various internet reports) for shipping off to Tokyo at the last minute. For a guy who hasn't fought since being released from the UFC following his first career loss to Mike Russow in May, the chance to end the year with some money in his pocket must seem like a difficult offer to refuse. But does that necessarily mean it's a good idea?

In a year with no shortage of brilliant submissions the No. 1 maneuver of the year isn't a a crazy flying one, it's Fabricio Werdum's triangle choke/armbar attack over Fedor Emelianenko. And in doing so, Werdum accomplished a feat no other fighter has been able to in Fedor's decade in the business, and that is to definitively finish Fedor in a fight, essentially ending Fedor's aura of invincibility.cbs sports college football cbs sportsline fantasy football rankings cbs sportsline nfl picks
Despite heavy rain in the San Diego area that left the field at Qualcomm Stadium under several inches of water, Thursday's Poinsettia Bowl between Navy and San Diego State will go on as planned. "We have every intention of kicking off at 5:06 p.m.," executive director Bruce Binkowski said Wednesday. "The stadium grounds crew work will work round the clock to make sure they get in the game." On Wednesday afternoon, the field was under as much as 10 inches of muddy water. A large portion of the parking lot, which neighbors the San Diego River, flooded as well. The teams had to practice in hotel ballrooms on Tuesday.

Rickie Fowler did not win on the PGA Tour this year. He did have seven top 10 finishes. Rory McIlroy had one victory, and five top 10s -- two of them, however, runner-up finishes in majors. Fowler finished 32nd on the PGA Tour money list. McIlroy 36th. Both played in the Ryder Cup -- Fowler for the U.S. and Northern Ireland's McIlroy for Europe. And on Saturday Fowler was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. You have a problem with that? A number of people do. Among them world No. 1 Lee Westwood who went off on Twitter. We cleaned up the abbreviations to make it more readable, but even if not, Westwood's message was clear. "Sorry 140 letters is not going to be enough for this rant!" he ranted. "Just seen Rickie Fowler has been given rookie of the year! Yes he's had a good year but Rory McIlroy third in two majors and an absolute demolition of the field at Quail Hollow! Oh yes and on the winning Ryder cup team! Please! Is this yet another case of protectionism by the PGA Tour or are they so desperate to win something! Wouldn't have something to do with Rory not joining the tour next year?"
