New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys in Dallas: 45-35 'Boys. Ossie and Jacobs: hurt knee. Eli (great game): hurt shoulder. (Results today)

New York Jets vs. New England Patriots in NE: 38-14 Pats

Saturday night, Jimmie Johnson won at Richmond and the Chase is over. Dale Jr. raced fantastic, but blew an engine with about five to go and is out of the Chase. Valiant try, nonetheless. Montoya got out of a burning car after a stack-up accident with a hell of a lot more ease and aplomb than Michael Waltrip did last week. I guess there is a big difference in being 5-8 and 6-5 when it comes to gettiing in and out of a race car.

Sunday afternoon, Dario Franchitti won at Chicagoland and thus the Indy car championship by outlasting Scott Dixon, who ran out of gas on the sprint to the finish line. Franchitti should be driving NASCAR next year. Teammate Danica Patricks did a journeyman's job of blocking and trying to bring Franchitti along (usually unsuccessfully, but not due to her work), while teammate Andretti, Jr., was in the hospital under observation after a crash.
