Buckeyes end BCS skid with Rose Bowl win (AP)

Although Terrelle Pryor always has flash in his game, he went a little bit Hollywood this week. While enjoying the sun and diversions of southern California, the Ohio State quarterback sometimes sported black-framed eyeglasses that don't contain prescription lenses. Don't worry, Buckeyes fans: Pryor can see very clearly what must happen Friday for Ohio State (10-2) to end its three-game…

Brandon Roy learned from Portland's loss on Christmas last season, so he pared down his holiday schedule to make sure he was prepared to face Denver this year. He sure looked ready. Roy had 41 points while wearing a thin brace to protect his sore left shoulder and Steve Blake added 17 to lead the Trail Blazers to a 107-96 win over the Nuggets on Friday night.

Asked where his buzzer-beating basket from three quarters of the way down the court ranks among the longest of his career, Grant Hill shrugged, "Top 20."

Hill banked it in from the Los Angeles 3-point line to give Phoenix a 67-55 halftime lead, and the Suns went on to beat the…

Chargers grab 1st-round bye, rip Titans (AP)

The San Diego Chargers have their first-round bye, and Philip Rivers is still perfect in December. Tennessee's bid for NFL history?

Chargers extend Cowboys’ December misery (AP)

The December trends hold: Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers are perfect, while Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys are perfectly miserable in the most important month of the regular season. Rivers broke a fourth-quarter tie with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates, then followed with a drive that ate up more than 7 minutes and ended in a field goal, giving San Diego a 20-17 victory…
