Week 15 NFL Play of the Day: New England

The New England Patriots travel to Denver to take on Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos today.

I have to believe that Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Bill Belichick and company want to put a hurting on the upstart Broncs.

The Broncos are even getting 7.5 pts at home, but it won't be near enough.

The players, cheerleaders and coaches will all have to be "Tebowing" for Denver to stay in this one.

Take New England and give the 7.5 today.

Jack Sock Talks Nebraska Cornhusker Football 

Tennis pro Jack Sock fielded questions from the media about his upcoming tennis schedule and he also talked Nebraska Cornhusker Football. 

The Nebraska native attended a game this year and out of the blue gives Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini a "vote of confidence."  I'm sure that is comforting to Pelini.

BTW - Jack was wearing a black Nebraska pullover and underneath, a Nebraska tee.

Hear Jack talk 'Husker football here:

Pictures From 2011 USTA Australian Open Wildcard Playoffs: Day 2

Saturday’s Semifinal Scores

WOMEN

No. 5 Gail Brodsky ( Brooklyn , N.Y. ) def. No. 1 Coco Vandeweghe ( Newport Beach , Calif. ), 6-3, 3-6, 9-7

No. 6 Madison Keys ( Boca Raton , Fla. ) def. No. 2 Alison Riske ( McMurray , Pa. ), 3-6, 6-4, 6-1

MEN

No. 4 Robby Ginepri ( Kennesaw , Ga. ) def. No. 8 Rhyne Williams ( Knoxville , Tenn. ), 7-5, 6-2

No. 2 Jesse Levine ( Boca Raton , Fla. ) def. No. 3 Denis Kudla ( Arlington , Va. ), 7-5, 6-2

This sets up a couple good finals on Sunday.  While I'm surprised with the women's matchup of Keys and Brodsky, I'm not as shocked with the men's.

It's a good story in the men's final as Georgia native Robby Ginepri will be trying to win this important event on home soil and Jesse Levine, who was playing futures events a few months ago to move his ranking up play each other.  Both players are coming back from bad injuries and both appear to be playing well and are in great shape. 

They will be tested tomorrow as the finals are 3 of 5 sets.

My women's recap is here:
