Today’s Sports News<\/h3>\n

NFL news: Brett Favre fined $50,000; Fox\u2019s Carlson claims Vick should be \u201cexecuted\u201d; David Garrard out with finger surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brett Favre fined $50,000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, the NFL has ruled on the Brett Favre \u201csexting\u201d scandal. Jenn Sterger, the alleged victim, likely isn\u2019t happy with the decision: fining Favre $50,000. The league claims that it did not find ample evidence that Favre sent lewd photos to Sterger and thus couldn\u2019t conclude that he violated the league\u2019s personal conduct policy. However, commissioner Roger Goodell determined that Favre \u201cwas not candid in several respects during the investigation resulting in a longer review and additional negative public attention for Favre, Steger and the NFL.\u201d He thus fined Favre.<\/p>\n

Good ole Fox News. Always good for fair and balanced information. Always good to remind us that Michael Vick deserves to be executed. Wait \u2013 what? Fox commentator Tucker Carlson claimed this week that the Eagles\u2019 quarterback deserved to die for his crimes against dogs. The comment came in response to U.S. President Obama stating that people who have paid for their crimes should have the chance to contribute to society again.<\/p>\n

David Garrard likely won\u2019t contribute to Jacksonville\u2019s playoff run if the Jags can sneak in. Their starting quarterback will miss Week 17 and beyond with finger surgery. <\/p>\n

NBA news: Kevin Garnett suffers leg injury<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was only a matter of time before the Celtics\u2019 age caught up to them as it did last year and the year before. Kevin Garnett left Boston\u2019s loss to Detroit last night with a leg injury after a dunk. He\u2019ll undergo an MRI today to learn more about the injury and is considered day-to-day for now.<\/p>\n

UFC news: Cain Velasquez tears rotator cuff; Chuck Liddell retires<\/strong><\/p>\n

A couple of huge stories in the UFC today. First off \u2013 the heavyweight champion of the world\u2019s first title defense will have to wait a long time. Undefeated Cain Velasquez reportedly tore his rotator cuff in training this week. He\u2019s expected to miss six to eight months with the injury. No. 1 contender Junior Dos Santos reportedly doesn\u2019t want to wait that long for his next bout; no word yet on (a) whether he\u2019ll fight someone in the meantime or (b ) whether it will be for an interim heavyweight title.<\/p>\n

The Iceman\u2019s time to ride off into the sunset has cometh. UFC Hall-of-Famer Chuck Liddell has officially retired. After a storied career that included four straight light heavyweight title defenses, Liddell lost four of his final five fights, all via knockout. He leaves with a 21-8 record at age 41. Liddell has accepted a position as Vice-President of Business Development.<\/p>\n

NHL news: Sidney Crosby\u2019s point streak snapped at 25 games<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we often see with the Joe DiMaggio hit streak in baseball, media often get too excited when hitters aren\u2019t even halfway to 56-game streaks. The same could be said for the NHL. Sidney Crosby\u2019s 25-game point streak was a remarkable accomplishment in the modern era; he tallied 26 goals and 50 points over that span. It was the longest since Mats Sundin\u2019s 30-game streak in 1992-93. In the end, however, it wasn\u2019t even close to the Great One. Wayne Gretzky\u2019s record 51-point streak remains just as safe as DiMaggio\u2019s record.<\/p>\n
