• I start watching the game and the Hawks score three goals in the third to beat the Ducks 4-2. Coincidence? Yes. Awesome? Yes.
• Top Ten Derrick Rose highlights from this season. Where's the one where he effectively defends the screen/roll?
• Quick post from HHR, but it's quite hilarious with Incognixico going with the conversion van to avoid the press.
• God explains Week 13 of the NFL. Lions feel His wrath! Again.
• Via Deadspin, a Harris Poll voter shows why he shouldn't be a Harris Poll voter. Yep this whole system is great.
• Oh, and Bulls lose to the Bucks. Stormin' Norman loses sleep.

More on the 'Plaxident'

The hilarious details of the Plaxico Burress saga are too many to digest in such a short time. However, that doesn't mean we aren't going to try like hell to get every ounce of funny out of this thing.

Thanks to Top Ten Nominee, we have some idea of how geography plays into the incident.

Point A happens to be the offices of the National Football League. Point B is where Plaxico shot himself in the thigh, at a club called Latin Quarter. It's a little hard to see, but I think you can get the idea of the insane proximity between the club and the NFL's offices.

Walking, this is a distance of .1 mile, which is somewhere around 500 or 600 feet. Plax is lucky that Goodell wasn't in his office late that night, or he could have been there in two minutes. Maybe he was.

This is like Barry Bonds shooting up steroids while going down the slide at Miller Park, or Donaghy asking David Stern for his cell phone so he can call his bookie. Oh Plaxico, please keep the content coming.

• Zoner Sports takes a bunch of Chicago athletes names and makes anagrams with them. It's uncanny how a lot of them make sense. Definitely worth a look.
• Clemson beat Illinois. I didn't watch the game, but it doesn't sound good.
• I don't know about all this Westbrook is as good as Rose stuff, but I guess they don't have a lot to get excited about in Oklahoma City.
• Javy Vasquez got traded to the Braves. TUP analyzes the deal.
  
• Oh by the way, Rose won Rookie of the Month. Get ready for more of these awards to roll in as the season goes on.
• Oh KSK, is there nothing you can't make a funny video or photo of? Plaxico is definitely the "Cheddar Bob" of the NFL.
• Bulls lose a tough one in OT. Tyrus Thomas is so frustrating when he shows those flashes (the dunk to tie the game to send it to OT), and yet he can't even crack the regular rotation because of his inconsistency.
  

Sports Turkey of The Week

In honor of Thanksgiving, I am going to hand out an award called the "Sports Turkey of the Week". The award is being given to Plaxico Burress. Unfortunately he is not here to accept the award, since he is in the hospital after shooting himself in the leg:

New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress suffered an accidental gunshot wound Friday night in a club, according to multiple sources.

Details of the incident weren't immediately available, but according to a source the wound was not considered life-threatening.

Fox Sports.com reported that Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg and spent the night in the hospital.

I know Burress doesn't like to practice, but this is a little overkill on trying to get out of it. What an idiot.
