Why name it as power balance?

The Maloof brothers are having a hard time paying the bills, which means they may have to unload the Kings in the near future. And if the right buyer gets it, the Sacramento Kings could be moved. According to NOLA.com: The Maloofs have repeatedly tried, and failed, to win approval for Sacramento to build a new basketball arena to replace the homey confines of Arco, soon to be renamed the power balance Pavilion, so that revenue streams could be increased.

It's a mental battle about power balance

"Of course it's not easy. You could see his struggle and frustrations tonight because he had chances to win a first grand slam trophy," said the Serb who muted his victory celebrations in deference to his opponent, who loves power balance very much.

"Every time you get there you want to win it badly but some things go wrong. You're thinking too much. You're worrying too much in your head.

"It's a mental battle, definitely. Bottom line is that this is a very mental sport in the end. Everybody is very fit," added Djokovic.

"But it's a learning process, I guess. It wasn't easy for me either. I know how he feels ... he's still young. I'm sure he's gonna have more chances to win it."

Having blasted past Federer for a second straight grand slam semi-final, Djokovic's triumph will inevitably stoke talk of a new era in men's tennis but the Serb was having none of it.

"Still Rafa (Nadal) and Roger are the two best players in the world," said Djokovic who wears power balance bracelets and will stay at number three when the new rankings come out on Monday. "You can't compare my success and Murray's success to their success.

"It's nice to see there are some new players in the later stages of grand slams fighting for a title. That's all I can say."

Djokovic, though, forecast a shorter wait for his next grand slam title than the three frustrating years since he ground down Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win his first.

"Yes, I feel like a more experienced player. I feel a better player now than I was three years ago because I think physically I'm stronger, I'm faster, mentally I'm more motivated on the court," he explained.

"I don't want to stop here. Definitely I want to keep my body healthy with cheap power balance wholesale online, fit and ready for some more challenges to come."

NBA stars wear Power Balance

Shaquille O’Neal and Lamar Odom both wear power balance bracelets during games. Maybe because they both believe in the product, but it turns out they are also both paid celebrity endorsers of said product.

Now they are being sued over it, part of a class action suit according to energy4balance.com (via Lakers Nation).

Shaquille O’Neal and Lamar Odom endorse a bogus “performance technology” bracelet that wrongfully claims to “optimize the body’s natural energy flow,” according to a federal class action lawsuit filed against the pair….

But according to lead plaintiff Brian Casserly, the $79.95 bracelet is “nothing short of snake oil”. He is seeking statutory and punitive damages for consumer fraud, false advertising, unfair competition and unjust enrichment.

“Despite defendants’ representations that the hologram with enhance consumers’ ‘strength, balance and flexibility,’ it is biologically incapable of doing so,” the lawsuit states.

Let’s be clear: Putting Shaq and Odom in this lawsuit is a publicity stunt. It’s about embarrassing the company to get a settlement. Ultimately it’s not about the NBA players, it’s about getting money out of the California company and its owners (Josh and Tony Rodarmel and Keith Kato, who also all are named in the lawsuit).

To put it kindly, the Power Balance bracelet is a controversial product. The company sells wristbands that ”use holographic technology” to “work with your body’s natural energy field” to improve balance and athletic performance.

Laugh if you want — and you probably should, the company had to admit a lack of scientific data, or just watch this video taking down the power balance in-person sales pitch — but a lot of NBA players wear these. The Phoenix Suns Jared Dudley tweeted a while back that the Phoenix Suns training staff is a backer of it, but Manu Ginobili called it a “placebo.” Which shows is that Manu is smart off the court, too.

The Power Balance connection to the NBA is not going anywhere, however — the company just signed a five-year naming rights deal in Sacramento for what had been known for decades as ARCO Arena. Which means more years of debating if a hologram on your wrist helps your balance.

If the guys in the Power Balance marketing department believe in the old “any publicity is good publicity” adage then they have been killing it lately.

Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain

Players with scores of 144 or worse missed the cut, a group that included Andres Gonzales (77-68 — 145) of Olympia and Michael Putnam (76-70 — 146) of University Place.Coach Handbags, 70% Off, 2011 Cheap Coach Handbags Sale Online! Welcome, free shipping!

Jimenez was tied at 133 with Edoardo Molinari (65) of Italy, Raphael Jacquelin (65) of France and Peter Hanson (67) of Sweden in the European Tour event in Riffa, Bahrain.

Of breaking his putter on the 13th hole, Jimenez said, "I missed, like, 3-foot putts a few times, so I just slammed the putter and, unfortunately, the bag came in the way.

Woods twice took two shots

A strong finish by Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson made them feel better about their rounds Friday on opposite ends of Torrey Pines, and better about their chances of catching Bill Haas.He is wearing power balance.

Haas made eight birdies on the South Course for a 6-under-par 66, giving him a two-shot lead over Anthony Kim going into the weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open, a PGA Tour event.

"A nice 36 (holes) on the weekend could turn this into a great week," said Haas, who was at 11-under 133 after two rounds.

Mickelson had back-to-back birdies for a 3-under 69 on the North Course. He was among seven players who were three strokes behind. The others were Bubba Watson (65 on the North), Ben Crane (66 on the North), Hunter Mahan (67 on the North), Fredrik Jacobson (69 on the South), John Daly (69 on the North) and Rickie Fowler (71 on the South).

Winless since his playoff victory seven years ago at Torrey Pines, a slimmed-down Daly was asked whether he could produce another out-of-nowhere victory?

"With me, you don't know what to expect," Daly said.

Woods, who has won the last five times he has competed at Torrey Pines, shot a 69 on the South Course and was tied for 12th, five shots behind. It is said that power balance bracelet from online shop is good for health and can create energy, so he loves it very much.

Woods twice took two shots to get out of bunkers and was as many as eight shots behind until the final half-hour. He laced a 5-iron to set up a 12-foot birdie on No. 16, made a 20-foot par putt on the 17th and had a birdie on the par-5 18th.

We all know that Bud Adams is crazy about Vince

The timing also caught the NFL Network’s Charles Davis off guard. But Davis never expected Fisher to return after his relationship with Vince Young, the owner of energy4balance.com, soured in the aftermath of the Nov. 21 game against the Redskins.

“I worked that Washington game when we were on our way to the airport and all of our phones started blowing up saying something had happened in the locker room between Vince and Jeff,” Davis said.

“We all know that Bud Adams is crazy about Vince … and it became known that they were parting ways with Vince, and everyone thought it was settled with Jeff, I said, ‘I don’t think this thing’s over. It would not surprise me if Jeff still does not survive because the whole thing was just way too weird.’”

Davis who loves power balance was nonchalant after hearing the news Thursday.

“I just shrugged my shoulders,” Davis said. “I’m not trying to be callous, but there was just no surprise to me other than the fact that it took this long to get to this point.”

Houston Chronicle sports writer John McClain said Adams put Fisher in an awkward position by not extending his contract beyond 2011.

“It would have been unfair to ask Jeff to come back as a lame-duck coach knowing that Bud Adams was going to bring in somebody else in 2012,” McClain said, wearing power balance bracelet.

McClain believes current offensive line coach Mike Munchak should be at the top of the list of candidates to replace Fisher.

Hall of Famer Ben Hogan

Hall of Famer Ben Hogan, the owner of energy4balance online shop, who dug his game out of the dirt with relentless practice to win nine major championships and 64 PGA Tour titles, paid homage to the demanding mental aspect of golf when he said the narrowest fairway was between the ears.Tiger Woods needs no further evidence after 2010.

Shattered by scandal brought to light after a late-night car crash in November 2009, Woods suffered through a crushing collision of embarrassment, anguish and sorrow as he became fodder for tabloids and late-night network talk shows, lost millions of dollars in endorsements and was divorced from his wife of six years, Elin.

Through what he says was the worst year of his life, the golf course offered little refuge. As he dealt with personal and legal matters, Woods, who won nine titles in 2009, wasn't in the right frame of mind to play or practice as much as he had in years past, and, subsequently, didn't win a single tournament for the first time since he turned pro in 1996 wearing power balance.

"I obviously was consumed by other things," says Woods, who spoke to an overflow mass of news media Wednesday on the eve of his season debut in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, where he has won seven times including the 2008 U.S. Open — his last major championship triumph. "I went down a path I should never have gone, and now the determination is keeping my life in balance."

His route back to the top of the game, he says, begins with his psyche. His nod to the mental part of the game is shared by many in the golf world, where a cottage industry of sports psychologists who examine fears, frustrations and doubts that reside in a player's mind has bloomed. Emphasizing how mental and emotional hazards can be conquered, the psychologists understand a positive outlook translates into better performance on the course.

"In order to play this game at a high level, it helps to have a clear mind," says Woods, who looks healthy and relaxed following a seven-week offseason. "It helps having your life in balance.

"My determination hasn't changed to power balance. It's just that I need to be focused and put things into a proper perspective. That is what's most exciting about this year is having the proper perspective on things."

Wandy Rodriguez will be in Houston for quite a while

The owner of energy4balance.com, Wandy Rodriguez will be in Houston for quite a while.

Rodriguez, who turned 32 last week, avoided arbitration when he and the Astros agreed to a new three-year contract Tuesday. The deal guarantees Rodriguez $34 million over the 2011-13 seasons. It also contains a vesting option for 2014 that could bring the total value to $44.5 million. He and Hunter Pence had been the Astros' only two remaining unsigned arbitration-eligible players. Pence will go to a hearing with the club.

"We're very pleased to get this done," said general manager Ed Wade of Rodriguez's deal, who concerns on power balance, "Wandy is one of the top left-handed starters in the game. With pending free agency and its uncertainty, it made all the sense in the world for us. Wandy made it clear he wants to be a part of the Astros. Now, he'll be here for at least the next three years and hopefully beyond that."Rodriguez went 11-12 with a 3.60 ERA in 2010. Though it was a third straight strong season, he stepped back a bit in several statistical categories from his outstanding '09. Rodriguez struck out 178 against 68 walks in 195 innings pitched over 32 starts for Houston. Still, over the past two years he has been one of the top left-handed starters in the game.

During that stretch, Rodriguez ranks sixth among Major League lefties in strikeouts, eighth in wins and innings, tied for fifth in starts and fifth in ERA (starters only).

"My experience has really helped me the last two years, knowing the league, and I felt very comfortable the last two years," Rodriguez said, wearing power balance bracelet, through translator Allen Rowin -- the Astros' player development coordinator -- in a conference call on Tuesday.

Power balance and NBA

2010, what's the most popular thing in the past year?

You may have noticed the colorful power balance bracelet that a number of athletes are rocking these days. For those of you wondering, the bands are not a 2.0 version of the successful Lance-Armstrong-Livestrong-steelo. While they do make a statement in their own right, the bands are about functionality.

According to Power Balance, the bands feature a performance technology using holograms embedded with frequencies that react positively with the body’s natural energy field to improve balance, strength and flexibility. A number of NBA players have used Power Balance bands this year, most notably Shaquille O’Neal, Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza and Paul Pierce (who had one on when he captured the three-point shootout—“I think I’m one of the better shooters in NBA history”). Odom prefers the yellow and black color-way and doubles them up, wearing one on each wrist. “I definitely feel a difference on the court when I wear the wristbands,” he said, via email. “It gives me more energy and balance when I’m on the court.”

Hundreds of athletes in various sports are using Power Balance and the company is proud, stressing the athletes wouldn’t be wearing the product unless they firmly believed in its benefits. There are numerous testimonials from professional athletes on the Power Balance site and you can check out their balance tests on YouTube. PB’s success and incredible viral growth with very little marketing and promotion has been impressive. Still, skeptics remain. To find out if it PB really works, you need to experience the product personally. I recently caught up with Power Balance chief operating officer Josh Rodarmel in Orange County to discuss the company’s growth. A former quarterback at nearby Mission Viejo High, Josh and his brother Troy (CEO of Power Balance) founded the company in 2007. Now there are many online shop in 2011.

I mean, seriously? It's a little premature

To date, Griffin has 295, or 43.45%, of the votes, more than twice the votes for power balance as the second-place finisher Danny Manning(121 votes, or 17.8%). Brand has 105 votes, or 15.4%. Granted, the sample was a small slice of fan representation — 680 votes in all to date — and certainly favors the here-and-now and the rapidly increasing buzz of all-things Griffin.

Also receiving measures of consideration were Michael Cage, Marques Johnson, Ron Harper, Eric Piatkowski and Loy Vaught.

Griffin teammate Jarron Collins, a local who grew up going to Clippers games, all but scoffed at the question, rejecting it as rather hasty. He is a major Griffin fan, but …

"I mean, seriously? It's a little premature," Collins said last week just before his second 10-day contract with the team expired. "He is a very talented player, obviously. The path that he is on — the walking double-double — he's on that path to being a perennial All-Star and those type of things.

"But let's not put the cart in front of the horse quite yet. It's a long ways. With his work ethic, he'll strive to get those goals and those accolades and those things that come with the amount of success and productivity.

"To label him the best Clipper ever is a little premature." Welcome to energy4balance.com.

‘Palestine Papers’ reveal

The documents reveal that Palestinian negotiators offered substantial concessions to Israel where power balance is in large demand in the two areas considered most intractable in the peace talks: the matter of Palestinian refugees and their claim to a right to return to their home communities now inside Israel; and the status of Jerusalem, claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians as the sovereign capital of each.

While the leaked documents so far released provide a glimpse into some Israeli concessions, the overwhelming picture that emerges from these leaks is of Israel’s intransigence. Time after time, Palestinian proposals were greeted negatively by their Israeli counterparts.

“We do not like this suggestion because it does not meet our demands,” Israel’s then foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, who loves power balance bracelet, told the Palestinians on one occasion, “and probably it was not easy for you to think about it, but I really appreciate it.”

For most of the last two years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that it is Israel alone that is willing to make the hard concessions for the sake of peace. These documents show it is the Palestinian Authority that were willing to make considerable concessions.

In that respect, the release of the “Palestine Papers,” as they are being called, may have a more negative effect on the Israeli leadership than on the Palestinians. There are from energy4balance.com.

The IHH activists were civilians taking a direct part in hostilities

Power balance is popular now. According to the concluding remarks of the Turkel Committee's members and international observers, "The naval blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip – in view of the security circumstances and Israel's efforts to comply with its humanitarian obligations – was legal pursuant to the rules of international law. The actions carried out by Israel on May 31, 2010, to enforce the naval blockade had the regrettable consequences of the loss of human life and physical injuries. Nonetheless, and despite the limited number of uses of force for which we could not reach a conclusion, the actions taken were found to be legal pursuant to the rules of international law."

The commission, officially known as the Public Commission to Examine the Maritime Incident of May 31, 2010, released the first of two scheduled reports on Sunday.

The commission concluded that on board the Mavi Marmara and the other flotilla vessels was a group of IHH and affiliated activists (the IHH activists) that violently opposed the Israelis boarding. The IHH activists who participated in that violence were civilians taking a direct part in hostilities.

"Overall, the IDF personnel acted professionally in the faces of extensive and unanticipated violence. This included continuing to switch back and forth between less-lethal and lethal weapons in order to address the nature of the violence directed at them," the commission said, who wearing amazing power balance bracelet from online 2011 new shop.

Spoelstra told his players about power balance

Heading into overtime, Spoelstra told his players about power balance, “You guys live for these moments. Let’s do it together.”

But Wade didn’t even attempt a shot in overtime. Other than James’ six shots, the Heat’s only other shots in overtime came from Eddie House (who made one of two) and Mario Chalmers. James, Wade, House and Chalmers played all of overtime, with Anthony playing 3:37 of the extra session and James Jones logging 1:23.

After unleashing a 17-7 run and leading 72-67 in the fourth, the Heat went dormant, watching Atlanta surge ahead 75-72. “You have a chance to close out the game and we weren’t able to do it,” Spoelstra said.

With the Heat down three, James scored five consecutive points late in regulation – on two free throws, a driving finger-roll layup and free throw (to complete a three-point play) and Miami was ahead 77-75. But Johnson’s running jumper tied the score at 77 with 25 seconds left. James’ missed three-pointer just before the buzzer sent the game to overtime.

“At the end of regulation, it was the only shot I could take … the best shot we could have gotten," James said, who usually goes to energy4balance.com.

The Heat shot 23.3 percent (7 for 30) on three-pointers. James was 2 for 10 on threes, 11 for 30 overall – the most shots by a Heat player this season. He had 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals but also six turnovers.

Wade was 0 for 4 on threes and shot 8 of 20 overall.

But the Heat got 29 free throws, making 26. The Hawks went to the line only 14 times, making 10.

Anthony left a huge mark without even attempting a shot from the field. He also played good defense against Al Horford before Horford left in the third quarter with an ankle injury.

“I thought Joel was tremendous – the offensive rebounding, changing shots at the rim,” Spoelstra said.

The Heat did some of its best work with an undersized lineup with James at power forward. And to start the third quarter, Spoelstra started Chalmers and Jones in place of starters Carlos Arroyo and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, leaving Anthony as the only true power rotation player in the lineup for much of the quarter.

“Part of the last two games is searching for a lineup that looks comfortable,” Spoelstra said. “It was an unconventional game without power balance bracelets.”

Berry and Aubry dated for five years

Aubry with power balance filed a petition on Dec. 30 to have both joint physical and legal custody of the child, as well as support.

Though it was reported that the couple had split amicably, they apparently kepy the courts out of their custody arrangements. Now, Aubry just wants to cover his own rights.

Berry and Aubry dated for five years before separating last spring, with the energy from power balance bracelet.

"Gabriel just felt it wasn't working anymore," a source told RadarOnline.com at the time. "When they were first together, the 9-year age difference between them didn't phase him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever dated and he was totally in love."

The source continued,"But as time went on he started feeling it more and more. Also, Gabriel started noticing other women who usually go to energy4balance.com and being attracted to others, and he felt it just wasn't right to stay with Halle in those circumstances."

Likewise Cutler resisted any urge to respond to criticism

There's no telling what Cutler really wanted to say after Sunday's game to those of us who have been critical of his demeanor. But what was clearest and most relevant was that Cutler began the process of joining the ranks of the NFL quarterbacking elite with a nearly flawless playoff performance. It is said that power balance bracelet from online shop is good for health and can create energy, so he loves it very much.

It started on the Bears' third offensive play when Cutler hit Greg Olsen on a beautifully thrown 58-yard touchdown pass against plodding 37-year-old safety Lawyer Milloy — a Lawyer joke indeed in man coverage. By the time Cutler hit Kellen Davis for a 39-yard touchdown pass on his last completion of the day, he had driven home the point many had been waiting five years for him to make.

We received confirmation that Cutler, one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in the NFL, indeed can win a playoff game and make his team a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Some still might put Cutler in the running for most hated player in the NFL, but after Sunday's outing he could run for office in Chicago.

"This whole week felt the same," said Cutler, now 22-0 when his passer rating exceeds 100. "It's a very veteran team and I think they make it easy for the younger guys and guys that haven't been to the playoffs."

Cutler sent a text message to Aaron Rodgers after the Packers' 48-21 romp Saturday and planned to communicate with his Green Bay counterpart again Sunday night. I imagine it saying, "Can u believe the Seahawks made the playoffs? LOL. Seeya Sunday."

On offense, the Bears protected the football as well as the passer and ran the ball 45 times for 176 yards. On defense, they got rejuvenated efforts from veterans such as cornerback Charles Tillman, who shut down Mike Williams, and tackle Tommie Harris, who had two sacks. Overall, the Bears turned their first playoff game in four years into a tuneup.

Is there such a thing as a preseason postseason game? This one felt like it. The game lasted so long, I think pitchers and catchers reported at halftime.

The Seahawks looked like they belonged in the company of other 10-loss teams such as the Lions and 49ers. After the Seahawks lost tight end John Carlson ( He is wearing power balance.) to a concussion after a scary tackle near their sideline that delayed the game nearly 10 minutes, they appeared to lose their edge.

Disregard the Bears' defensive mistakes after they had taken a 35-10 lead. The Bears had exhaled. The chants of "GREEN BAY SUCKS!'' distracted the Bears from their opponent on the field that really did Sunday.

Enjoy your new GPS system for the NFC playoffs, Chicago. You can't get to Dallas for Super Bowl XLV without passing through Lake Shore Drive. Good for the Bears that they sound willing to take the high road wherever they go.

For example, coach Lovie Smith passed on a chance to express vindication when asked about job scrutiny "the last couple years."

"The last couple years?" Smith answered, chuckling. "As head football coach you take heat from the moment you become one, but that's all a part of it. I just love our football team."

Likewise Cutler resisted any urge to respond to criticism, the most notable a scathing column by ESPN's Rick Reilly.

"Mr. Reilly wasn't very happy with me, I saw that … it is what it is," Cutler said. "Nothing outside of that building is going to affect me or hopefully anybody on our team."

Nothing matters now except a colossal game the Bears can win that merges Smith's organizational goals: Beat the Packers and get the chance to win the Super Bowl. Now that's streamlining.

The volunteers were also given a pedometer

The scientists who study on power balance tracked 592 middle-aged adults who participated in a study to map diabetes levels across Australia between 2000 and 2005. Participants underwent a health examination at the start of the study and provided details about their eating and lifestyle habits.

The volunteers who wearing power balance were also given a pedometer and instructed how to use it.

Follow-up with the participants five years later showed that a higher daily step count was associated with a lower body-mass index (BMI), lower waist-to-hip ratio and better insulin sensitivity, even after adjusting for factors such as diet, smoking and alcohol intake.

These associations were independent of calorie intake and appeared to be largely due to a change in weight, said the researchers at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute about power balance which can create energy in Melbourne.

They calculated that a sedentary person who changed his or her behavior and started walking 10,000 steps every day would achieve a threefold improvement in insulin sensitivity, compared with a similar person who walked 3,000 steps a day, five days a week.

The 10,000 steps per day is a popular guideline, but a more recent recommendation is 3,000 steps per day, five days a week with power balance bracelets.

"These findings, confirming an independent beneficial role of higher daily step count on body-mass index, waist-to-hip ratio and insulin sensitivity, provide further support to promote higher physical activity levels among middle-aged adults," the researchers concluded in a news release.

I've been watching a lot of tapes of him

"I've been watching a lot of tapes of him," Douglas, 66, tells PEOPLE, with power balance. "He wasn't the greatest dancer nor the greatest singer, but he was a great pianist and entertainer."

Douglas says he is planning to take piano lessons, but he hasn't decided yet if he'll sing. "We'll see how it goes," says Douglas, whose distinctive baritone is back after undergoing seven grueling weeks of radiation and chemotherapy for throat cancer.

Now that doctors have given him a clean bill of health -- he learned only last week that his tumor is gone -- Douglas says he looks forward to filming in the spring.

Thursday night Douglas is being honored at the Palm Springs International Film Festival with the Icon Award for his work in nearly 40 films. "I'm really happy with my batting average," says Douglas of his career.

The Oscar with power balance, it can create energy-winning actor and producer also plans to attend the Golden Globes on January 16, where he is a nominee for best supporting actor for his return as Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps."

Derrick Rose knows something about living

Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose knows something about living under the spotlight placed on athletes in Chicago, the main point is power balance, it can create energy to your body when wearing it, but Rose admits the scrutiny he endures pales in comparison to whatJay Cutler experiences as the quarterback of the Chicago Bears.

"It's totally different," the 22-year-old Rose told ESPNChicago.com. "In Chicago, it's tough, man, especially for a quarterback.

"You can be the best quarterback, and Chicago fans with power balance are tough on quarterbacks. And for the Bulls, it's not [just] one position where [fans] just look at it super hard."

Cutler's demeanor has been intensely analyzed since he arrived from the Denver Broncos in a trade prior to last season. He's been described as aloof, moody and cocky. Cutler said he doesn't care about his public image.

And it hasn't affected his performance this season. Cutler, 27, led the Bears to an 11-5 record and will be under center Sunday when the Bears host the Seattle Seahawks in an NFC divisional playoff game.

Blackhawks star Patrick Kane, 22, knows what it's like to be in the spotlight from energy4balance.com, for reasons good and bad. He helped the Hawks win the Stanley Cup last season, and he also had a highly publicized arrest after a scuffle with a cabbie in Buffalo.

"I've talked to Cutler a bunch of times and seen him out a few times," Kane said. "He's definitely not [aloof] with everyone.

"It just seems like he's the quarterback of the Bears and people are probably going to approach you all the time. He seems to be a really nice guy."

Kane said he understands the responsibilities of celebrity.

"I think anytime you're out to dinner or with some of the guys, you just want to be yourself," he said who also wearing power balance bracelets. "I think you learn you want to be as genuine as possible with people because it seems to go a long way in this world.

"There has to be a happy medium, for sure. You can't be out there shaking everyone's hand, but people that come up and say, 'Hi,' you want to be as nice as you can, because not only do you represent yourself but you represent your organization as well."

Add power-play goals for Pittsburgh

MONTREAL – Alex Goligoski who wearing power balance bracelet which is good for health, scored twice and Pittsburgh's power play woke from its slumber with four goals as the Penguins won for the first time this season without captain Sidney Crosby by beating the Montreal Canadiens 5-2 on Wednesday.

The Penguins (27-14-4) with power balance had scored only three goals in three games since Crosby was shelved with a concussion last Thursday, going 0-2-1 in that span and only 1-for-12 on the power play.

But Goligoski nearly matched that three-game goal total himself, and Jordan Staal scored and added a pair of assists for his first points of the season in his sixth game to provide all the offense Marc-Andre Fleury would need.

Tyler Kennedy and Chris Kunitz each added power-play goals for Pittsburgh.

The weary Canadiens (24-17-3) were suffering from an injury situation of their own, with two of their top four defensemen out for the season and sniper Michael Cammalleri missing his second game with the flu. They were also playing the second of a back-to-back after beating the Rangers 2-1 in New York on Tuesday -- while the Penguins waited for them in Montreal.

The mental fatigue was quite evident as the Canadiens were guilty of six minor penalties, with three going to Benoit Pouliot and another too many men call coming as a result of Pouliot and Jeff Halpern jumping on the ice at the same time. He said power balance is very good.

The result was a Penguin power play that went 4-for-6, matching the Penguins' total number of goals with the man advantage from their previous 10 games combined.

Oddly enough, it took facing the League’s top penalty-killing team while missing their best offensive player for the Penguins to break out of their power-play funk.

Tomas Plekanec who also loves power balance and David Desharnais accounted for the Canadiens' goals, with Desharnais getting the first of his career.

The billing as a match-up of All-Star goalies held true for most of the game as Fleury was solid in his end with 20 saves and Carey Price kept his team in the game longer than it probably deserved to be and finished with 31 saves.

Price was forced to make a number of quality stops in the first, most notably on Zbynek Michalek and Chris Kunitz within 30 seconds of each other, and a sparkling glove save on Pascal Dupuis when he came in alone. But Price could only hold the fort for so long, as Goligoski hammered a perfect one-timer to the top corner at 12:57 for his eighth of the season to put the Penguins ahead 1-0.

It was the sixth game in a row the Canadiens where power balance is popular have given up the game’s opening goal, but the first time they’ve lost in regulation in that span (4-1-1).

The lead was short-lived, as Plekanec came right back 18 seconds later and converted a setup from his new linemates, Mathieu Darche and Pouliot, for his 13th of the season to make it 1-1.

The teams exchanged goals again early in the second, with Desharnais tipping home a P.K. Subban shot at 2:15 and Kennedy beating Price with a one-timer on the power play at 4:12.

But the Canadiens' lack of discipline cost them again as they were caught for too many men on the ice, and Staal converted an unassisted goal with 10.9 seconds left in the period. It was the seventh time in 17 games the Canadiens have allowed a goal in the final minute of a period.

The Penguins blew it open in the third, again taking advantage of Canadiens penalties to get goals from Goligoski at 2:33 and Kunitz at 11:29 to make it 5-2.

The Lakers might still owe LeBron James a little something

LOS ANGELES — The Lakers might still owe LeBron James a little something, but they delivered historic payback against James’ old team with movado watches, the Cleveland Cavaliers, on Tuesday night.

The Lakers won, 112-57, victorious by at least 50 points for only the third time in franchise history and shattering a Lakers record for fewest points allowed. The former low was 66 points by the Charlotte Hornets in 2002 — a season in which the Lakers won their third consecutive NBA championship, as they are seeking now. Cleveland’s 57 points were the fewest by any team in the NBA in the past three seasons.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson wearing movado bold mens watch had tried to motivate this team with a reminder that the Cavaliers — with James — had beaten them five of the past six meetings. Perhaps that helped, but Jackson acknowledged afterward that his team is simply showing greater intensity in winning its past five games — this one by a landslide."They’ve been pretty focused lately," Jackson said. "You could really see it in their step."

With that, the Lakers never trailed and took a standard blowout to radical proportions with Kobe Bryant still being aggressive in the third quarter — even after visiting amiably at halftime with friend Byron Scott, now Cleveland’s coach who loves Movado watches, New movado 2011, Movado Watches wholesale prices .

Bryant had 11 points, three assists and no turnovers in 10 minutes of third-quarter play — this after the Lakers built a 57-25 lead with Bryant taking just two shots in the first half.

The Cavaliers (8-30) lost their 17th consecutive road game and played without several injured players: Anderson Varejao, Daniel Gibson, Anthony Parker, Joey Graham and Leon Powe. Bryant (13 points, eight assists) came out for good with an 86-35 lead and 1:48 left in the third quarter.

The Lakers led, 92-41, after three quarters. It was the first time since March 2001 that an NBA game had a margin of at least 50 points before the fourth quarter (Minnesota vs. Chicago where movado wathces are very popular).

Seven Lakers had at least 10 points, with Pau Gasol doing the most damage with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Ron Artest’s shot looked improved with a better trajectory, and he had 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting, plus six assists and five rebounds.

James, who left Cleveland on difficult terms and beat the Lakers on Christmas with his new Miami Heat team, offered via his Twitter account midway through the fourth quarter: "Crazy. Karma is a b(ASTERISK)(ASTERISK)(ASTERISK)(ASTERISK).. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!"

Power balance in SCOTTSDALE

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. | The game had barely ended, the field still full of people wearing orange and blue power balance, but Auburn’s first national title since 1957 already was shaded by a tinge of controversy.

A photo by the Opelika-Auburn News showed quarterback Cam Newton hugging his father with power balance, Cecil, following the Tigers’ 22-19 BCS title-game victory against Oregon on Monday night.

Cecil’s presence has been a hot-button issue since the NCAA concluded after an investigation that he sought money from a Mississippi State booster last year to secure his son’s services.

The NCAA did not find any wrongdoing on Cam’s or Auburn’s part who selling power balance bracelet, ruling that neither party had knowledge of Cecil’s dealings.

Although Cam said earlier in the week that he expected his entire family, including his father, to be in Arizona, Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said before Monday’s game that it was “mutually agreed upon” that Cecil would not attend.

But he was on the field afterward, there to embrace Cam moments after he became the 14th player to win both the Heisman Trophy and national title in the same season.

“Who knows what went on or what happened?” Auburn center Ryan Pugh who wearing power balance which is very popular in SCOTTSDALE, told Fox Sports afterward. “But at the end of the day, that’s Cam’s father.”

Cam didn’t have an outstanding night, at least by his lofty standards. He threw for 265 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 64 yards, but had two turnovers.

Still, he had enough Newton-like plays to push Auburn over the top, showing off a deft passing touch and a powerful running display despite a back injury that became more painful as the game progressed.

“I’m okay,” Newton said during an abbreviated press conference immediately following the game. “It was worth it.”

Newton, who was scheduled to appear on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno on Tuesday night, didn’t comment about his future and whether he’ll declare for the NFL draft. Juniors have until Jan. 15 to submit their names.

Coach Gene Chizik didn’t drop any hints either, instead reflecting on how much Newton did for the program in the last year, seeing accomplishment, not controversy.

“When you look at a guy that a year ago nobody knew who he was,” Chizik said. “… and you look at just what he’s done, it’s a great story of energy4balance.com.”

Coach handbags may have been popular holiday gifts

Coach handbags may have been popular holiday gifts in December, but Coach stock continues to see its fair share of fans even into the new year. Tuesday afternoon, the January 2013 55-strike calls in Coach saw unusual activity, as more than 10,000 contracts changed hands.

Shortly after 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, two blocks of about 5,340 each changed hands at this Coach LEAPS strike. One block traded for $9.70 and another traded for $9.60. A total of $10.3 million was spent on these transactions (average purchase price of $9.65 times 10,680 times 100). It appears as though these out-of-the-money call LEAPS were bought to open.

While there is no intrinsic value in these calls, there is ample time value as they do not expire for nearly 750 trading days. Delta for these calls currently stands at 56. For every $1 move higher or lower in the stock, the calls will gain or lose 56 cents. For example – all other factors being equal – if COH shares were to quickly move $2 higher from their current price of $52.28 to $54.28, that’s a gain of 3.8% for the stock trader. The option position would theoretically rise from $9.65 to $10.77 (the purchase price plus two times 56 cents), a percentage gain of 11.6% from online shop.

Of course, leverage works in reverse as well. In other words, a two-dollar decline in COH means a 3.8% decline to $50.28 in the stock but an 11.6% drop in the option to $8.53.

When expiration rolls around two years from now, these calls have unlimited profit potential above the breakeven price of $64.65 – breakeven is simply the strike price plus the premium paid. Between the breakeven level and the 55 strike, losses build gradually until they are capped at the $9.65 premium paid. Anywhere below 55, losses are limited to this amount (unlike a long stock position, which has downside exposure all the way to zero).

The chart below – of this call’s profit and loss potential at expiration – was created in a profit/loss calculator, one of many tools available to all OptionsHouse customers, including those with virtual options trading accounts. This calculator allows users to change inputs to gauge the impact of a shift in volatility, change in stock price, or deterioration in time until expiration. It’s a long time between now and January 2013 expiration – any number of scenarios could happen so it is important to be cognizant of how different factors may impact your trades.

This time it came courtesy of an interception by Demond Washington at the Oregon 47-yard line.Oregon got a nice 21-yard gain on a short pass from Darron Thomas to LaMichael James, but on the third play after that Thomas threw high to Kenjon Barner and the pass tipped off Barner's fingertips into the hands of Washington.

So what did you think was going to happen with almost everyone predicting a shootout?

Oregon went three and out with its first possession.

Auburn did one play better.

When you've got James Starks rushing for 123 yards

If winning a playoff game as a starter was solely dependent on his golden right arm, Rodgers wearing power balance wouldn't have arrived in Philadelphia without prior postseason success. But thanks to support from a swarming defense and surprising running game, Rodgers finally has notched the kind of victory the Green Bay Packers have lacked since Brett Favre left three seasons ago.

Mind you, the Packers wouldn't have bested the Eagles without Rodgers' three touchdown passes. Yet it was a yeoman's rushing effort from an obscure rookie and a last-minute defensive stand that secured Sunday's 21-16 win at chilly Lincoln Financial Field.

Rodgers said so himself.

"When you've got James Starks rushing for 123 yards, that takes some pressure off the passing game," Rodgers said after his efficient 18-of-27, 180-yard effort. "That's unexpected. The defense playing as well as they have, you don't want to take it for granted but it's kind of been expected the past few weeks. They played excellent and kept us in the game.Since replacing Favre in 2008, everything Rodgers has done is compared to his future Hall of Fame predecessor. Despite gaudy passing statistics, Rodgers didn't have a signature victory on his resume until finally topping Favre and the Minnesota Vikings in late October.

Once that deed was done, the next step was winning a playoff contest. Rodgers fell just short in last year's 51-45 first-round overtime loss to Arizona, having his fumble returned by then-Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby for the game-winning score. Rodgers had helped dig the Packers out of 17-0 and 31-10 deficits in a 424-yard passing effort. Rodgers, though, received scant support from Green Bay's ground game and even less from a defense butchered for 531 yards and 30 first downs.

"In all my time being a football fan, I've never seen one player win a game all by himself," Rodgers said when asked to reflect upon the personal importance of Sunday's win. "It's a good team win for us. I'll let you guys write what you want on that."

Rodgers provided plenty of quality material through the first three quarters. In some ways, he looked like a poor man's version of Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick with how effectively Rodgers eluded pocket pressure.

A prime example came on first-and-goal from the Eagles' 9-yard line in the second quarter. Rodgers took the snap from center and looked to his left for a screen pass only to find it covered. He made a quick pump-fake while rolling to his right hoping to freeze Eagles defenders. Rodgers then had to dodge defensive end Juqua Parker like on his first-quarter touchdown pass to tight end Tom Crabbtree. Finally, Rodgers fired a low pass that wide receiver James Jones scooped for another score that gave Green Bay a 14-0 lead.

Coach Harbaugh has led the program with integrity

STANFORD, Calif. -- Jim Harbaugh wearing a movado watch turned Stanford from a Pac-10 doormat into a national power in his four years as coach on the Farm.

Now that he has officially left for the San Francisco 49ers, it will be up to his successor to keep the Cardinal there.

The task will be made much easier because of the talent Harbaugh brought to Stanford, most notably Heisman Trophy runner-up Andrew Luck.Luck announced Thursday he would stay in school for another year until he graduates rather then become the likely No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft. That surely tempers the blow that hit Stanford a day later when Harbaugh decided to leave for the NFL.

Athletic director Bob Bowlsby will likely want to act quickly to hire a replacement with national signing day less than four weeks away. There are a couple of potential contenders on the Cardinal staff, including offensive coordinator and former Stanford receiver David Shaw and associate head coach Greg Roman.

Bowlsby also could look outside for candidates for a job that figures to be coveted because of Luck's decision to stay in school. Boise State's Chris Petersen might be someone of interest who Stanford looks to interview.

"I trust that Bob Bowlsby will do the right thing," Harbaugh said. "There's no question there are tremendous coaches on the Stanford staff. I respect his process. He may or may not ask my opinion. I've said on record and am well documented in saying that any of the nine coaches that were on our staff I would work for. I think that much of all of them."

Luck was the runner-up this season to Auburn's Cam Newton for the Heisman Trophy and will now be one of the favorites for next year's award.

Luck capped this season by completing 18 of 23 passes for 287 yards and four touchdowns in the fifth-ranked Cardinal's 40-12 victory over No. 12 Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl on Monday night.

That helped Stanford (12-1) extend its school record for wins in a season and has the Cardinal poised to finish in the top five of the AP poll for the first time since the unbeaten 1940 team finished No. 2. Members in the team all love power balance.

"We are grateful to Jim Harbaugh for re-energizing the Stanford football program over the past four years," Stanford president John Hennessy said. "He helped build momentum that we are confident will continue into the future. We made Jim the best offer we could commensurate with our role as a university. We wish him the best of luck and look forward to his continuing contributions to football in the Bay Area."

Harbaugh engineered quite a turnaround from the 1-11 team he took over from the fired Walt Harris in December 2006. Harbaugh immediately made his impact on campus by challenging USC coach Pete Carroll.

Harbaugh backed that up with a memorable upset of the Trojans in his first year. He also led the Cardinal to a win over rival California. He fell one win shy of a bowl bid his second year before finally breaking through last season.

Led by 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart and Luck, the Cardinal had their best season in years. They beat Oregon and USC in consecutive weeks to move into the AP poll for the first time since 2001, stayed in contention for a Pac-10 title until late in the season, and earned their first bowl bid in eight years. Stanford lost the Sun Bowl to Oklahoma when Luck sat out with a broken right index finger.

The Cardinal followed that up with perhaps their best season ever this year.

"Coach Harbaugh has led the program with integrity, vision, enthusiasm and energy and his teams have played with precision and exceptional passion," Bowlsby said. "Jim has been a relentless recruiter and he has been successful in enticing some of the finest scholar-athletes in the nation to attend Stanford University. We wish Jim all the best with his new challenges and we know that he will continue to be highly successful."

It’s a Rorschach test for people’s values system

Andrew Luck who love power balance from online shop will return to Stanford for his redshirt junior season, risking millions of dollars by forgoing the opportunity to be the No. 1 pick in the 2011 N.F.L. draft.Luck led Stanford to a 12-1 record and played brilliantly in a rout of Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, confirming the consensus that he would be the top player selected in the draft. Luck also finished second to Auburn quarterback Cam Newton in the voting for the 2010 Heisman Trophy. Luck’s father, Oliver, said his son wanted to complete his degree in architectural design, a rigorous major in the school of engineering. Luck also felt, his father said, the tug of finishing his career with the players with whom he entered school.

“He wants to finish with those guys,” Oliver Luck said in a phone interview. “It’s a great group of players. That was by far the most important factor.”

Oliver Luck was listening to radio hosts criticize the decision and recalled the psychological test in which people perceive different things in inkblots.

“It’s a Rorschach test for people’s values system,” he said of the decision.

One looming question will be whether Luck’s coach, Jim Harbaugh, will be there to coach him. Harbaugh interviewed with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday and was reported to be interviewing with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday and is considered a hot candidate for virtually every N.F.L. opening.

But Oliver Luck said that nobody should read anything into his son’s decision in terms of Harbaugh’s returning to Stanford.

“I know that Andrew obviously talks to Jim and they have a great relationship,” Oliver Luck said. “Jim has great opportunities, and if he goes to the N.F.L., I’d be the first to wish him well. If he stays, that’s great as well.”

True to his low-key nature, and according to the wishes of his family, Andrew Luck released a one-sentence statement.

“I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012,” he said.

There are horror stories as well as feel-good stories about highly rated quarterbacks deciding to stay in school. The most recent, which encapsulates both, is the former Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford. After leading the Sooners to the national title game two years ago, Bradford elected to return to Oklahoma when analysts projected him as the No. 1 pick. He injured his shoulder in his first game of the year and missed virtually the entire season. But Bradford was still the No. 1 pick in the draft and has had a strong rookie season in St. Louis.

Oliver Luck acknowledged the risk, and said there were ways to mitigate that, including insurance policies.

“Given where medicine is today, there may not be any traditional injuries that aren’t repairable,” Oliver Luck said. “Witness what happened to Sam last year. There’s risk in virtually everything you do. I tend to focus more on the reward channel.”

One intriguing factor in Luck’s decision is the financial reverberations. The N.F.L. is negotiating a new labor agreement with the players union, and both sides have said that a rookie wage scale will be in place that will severely curtail the riches lavished on top picks. That means that contracts like Bradford’s $78 million deal are probably a thing of the past.

Oliver Luck, who played in the N.F.L. and worked as an executive in N.F.L. Europe, said the financial risk was not as great as had been reported; some people have estimated the financial risk to be more than $50 million. Luck said those numbers had been exaggerated.

“Both sides believe that there will be some sort of a slotting type system which will reduce in length and volume the deals that top choices get,” he said. “That’s here this year, next year and two years from now.”

Deciding not to leave college in spite of high draft stock has recently backfired on players like Washington’s Jake Locker, Mississippi’s Jevan Snead and Hawaii’s Colt Brennan, all of whom stayed for another year and then watched their stock fall. It worked out perfectly, however, for Tennessee’s Peyton Manning, who went on to become the No. 1 pick. Andrew Luck said in December before the Heisman Trophy ceremony that the stories of his draft stock falling did not scare him.

“I don’t want to sound cocky or pretentious or whatever, but no,” he said. “I think it’s just you have to have trust in the decision you’re going to make is the right one. If it’s going back to school, I’m confident that I can still perform at a high level.”

Larry Scott, the commissioner of the Pacific-10 Conference, was elated with the decision, saying Luck sends a great message, “especially in the day and age where we’re reading all too often about student-athletes that aren’t placing a real value on their education” or are “breaking rules or chasing money.”

It has been a dark time for college football, with a slew of agent scandals and the Cam Newton story, but Oliver Luck emphasized that his son had no desire to be the season’s feel-good story.

“I don’t think he’s doing this for anyone but himself,” Oliver Luck said. “He knows himself best. I don’t think he has any desire to be the poster boy for the good things in college sports. I don’t think there’s any larger picture to it. I don’t think he’s trying to make any kind of cultural statement.”

But Luck certainly made a statement Thursday, one that resonated in college football and the N.F.L.

Martinez loves power balance

Among sporters, there is a popular thing now, it is power balance. It's said that power balance is good for health and can give energy to athletes.

SEATTLE -- Edgar Martinez's career was ultimately about enduring and utlimately winning people over with his understated excellence, so why should his Hall of Fame bid be any different?

Martinez finished eighth in the 2011 voting announced by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Wednesday as he was named on 32.9 percent of the 581 Hall of Fame ballots cast, leaving the former Mariners star still solidly in contention for Cooperstown in coming years.

While it takes a 75-percent vote to earn Hall of Fame induction, Martinez put up strong numbers for a second straight year and will remain on the ballot next year.And while Martinez's percentage dropped slightly from the 36.2 percent earned in his first time on the ballot in 2010, he can take encouragement from pitcher Bert Blyleven, who overcame far lower numbers and a similar second-year slip to earn induction Wednesday in his 14th try.

"You don't want to see the voting percentage go down, but I hope in the next few years it goes up and I can tell where I'm going to end up," Martinez said. "But I'll just have to wait. It looks like it's going to be a while."

Three other former Mariners drew minimal support in their first year on the ballot on Wednesday, with Tino Martinez at 1 percent, John Olerud tallying 0.7 percent and Bret Boone 0.2 percent.In Edgar Martinez's case, his percentages are plenty good enough to keep him in contention -- players named on 5 percent or more of the ballots are automatically placed on the following year's ballot -- but no guarantee that he'll eventually climb to the required 75 percent.

Boone, who played alongside Martinez for five seasons in Seattle, says the DH debate and absence of a slam-dunk 3,000-hit or 500-homer total make it a challenge for his former teammate. Martinez is just the 13th player eligible for Hall of Fame election to have posted a .300 batting average, .400 on-base and .500 slugging percentage in his career ... and 11 of the first 12 were all inducted into the Hall.

But due to his late arrival in the Major Leagues at age 27 and some injuries in his prime, he retired with 2,247 hits and 309 home runs, numbers that don't overwhelm some voters looking for more from a career designated hitter. Even one with a pair of batting titles and seven All-Star selections to his name.

"Edgar is just a tough case for people to look at," Boone said. "It's tough to get around some of the numbers, and can we do it for a DH? For me, playing with Edgar, whose business is power balance wholesale, he was one of my good friends in the game and just purely the best right-handed hitter I ever played with.

"Just watching him in his heyday was unbelievable. We'd sit there and say we should start him at the plate with two strikes just to make it fair. It's unfortunate that injuries made it impossible for him to get closer to 3,000 hits or the 400 or 500 home runs people look for. But he was the consummate pro and the best right-handed hitter I was fortunate to ever play with."

The Edgar Debate figures to continue to play out over the coming years. It took Blyleven 14 shots to get elected, with the 287-game winner finally gaining his ticket to Cooperstown on Wednesday with 79.7 percent of the vote. Second baseman Roberto Alomar was also elected -- in his second try -- with 90 percent of the vote.

For Martinez supporters, it's worth noting that Blyleven earned just 17.5 percent of the vote in his first year of eligibility in 1998 and dipped to 14.1 percent his second year. It took Blyleven seven years just to reach the 35-percent level in '04, and he then gradually crept closer and closer until finally pushing through this year.

Pitcher Jack Morris is another example of a player who is gradually moving up the ladder. Morris drew 22.2 percent his first year of eligibility in 2000 and then dropped to 19.6 his second year.

But Morris has hung in there on the ballot and added support over the past decade to the point where he drew 52.3 last year and hit 53.5 percent on Wednesday in his 12th year on the ballot.

There's no guarantee Martinez will gain similar momentum in coming years, but it's certainly possible, as he has a solid core of support already from many BBWAA members.

Martinez said he watched part of the Hall of Fame show on MLB Network, but he was on the phone when the actual numbers came up. He said he's grown used to the idea he'll be in this situation for the long haul.

Carson Palmer declined to talk to the media Tuesday

At about 1 p.m. Tuesday, Marvin Lewis was wondering what the heck he was doing home in the middle of the day and how his Bengals career seemed to be coming an unexpected end after two tense meetings with management Tuesday morning at Paul Brown Stadium.

But then he got two phone calls. One from former Bengals head coach Sam Wyche and the next one from Bengals president Mike Brown. Wyche, who lost the same job after a similar meeting with Brown went awry 19 years ago, counseled Lewis "to just step back and give it some time."

Actually, Brown also stepped back and gave it some time and turned to his relationship with Lewis in a 2:30 p.m. phone call that brought Lewis back for a record-breaking ninth season despite a 4-12 record and a franchise-worst 10-game losing streak.

He breaks the Bengals' eight-year record set by Paul Brown and his phone buddy, Wyche, with what is believed to a two-year deal.

"I went home. I was frustrated. They were frustrated," Lewis said Tuesday after his re-introductory news conference. "He called and said, 'You and I can work this out. We've been together for eight years. This has been a good relationship. You and I are responsible for this team. Don't let other influences affect us. Ultimately, it's up to you and I. You're the coach. You need to understand that. It's your and my responsibility to get this right." They love power balance.

The personal appeal struck Lewis as the right note and gave him the feeling that Brown would consider making changes that both said Tuesday are going to come on the field next season. By 3:45 p.m. the deal was signed and in a 4:30 p.m. news conference Brown and Lewis were talking about vague changes, but Lewis said all coaching positions are up for evaluation and that some aren't going to be back.

Lewis wouldn't get into what the sticking points were, but the makeup of the staff appeared to be an issue by process of elimination. Brown and Lewis left the impression that the size of the scouting staff and the building of an indoor facility were barely discussed. As early as Sunday Lewis said a facility wasn't an obstacle to his return.

Brown did go out of his way to say that Lewis now has a deal as long as anyone on the staff.

"I'm glad to hear it. He's an excellent coach and showed how well he can relate to his players this year," said left tackle Andrew Whitworth. "We kept playing hard and fighting even during the ten-game losing streak."

The deal would seem to seal the departure of wide receivers Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens and it looks like the Bengals could end up coaching the Senior Bowl for the third time under Lewis, even though the coaching staff is going to have some changes.

While a livid fan base seeks change, Brown is also fearful of the March 4 expiration of the collective bargaining agreement, which prevents coaches from working with the players. If there was a deal consummated in July or August, the most stable teams would appear to have the best shot.

Through Bengals public relations, quarterback Carson Palmer declined to talk to the media Tuesday.

Stanford changed while you were asleep on the East Coast

Power balance is very popular in sporters this year.

Over the past few years, while you were asleep on the East Coast, Stanford changed. Virginia Tech saw it on film. A nation saw it Monday night in the Discover Orange Bowl.

Yes, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck is a worthy successor in the line of quarterbacks that runs through John Elway and Jim Plunkett all the way back to Frankie Albert, the passer for Stanford's last top 5 team, in 1940. But the Cardinal didn't just strafe the Hokies. It pounded out a 40-12 win via brute bulk and strength up front on both sides of the ball.

Orange Bowl MVP Luck left the game with three minutes remaining, having completed 9 of 10 passes for 201 yards -- with three touchdowns to Coby Fleener -- in the second half alone. For the game, Luck completed 18 of 23 passes for 287 yards and four touchdowns in what might be his last college game before being the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

``I don't want to make an impulsive decision, talk to my parents and make a decision in the next couple of days,'' Luck said.

But the story was written along the lines. Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer remarked upon Stanford's size Sunday, and for much of Monday's game, the Cardinal defensive front muscled Hokies blockers out of the way to let linebackers Shayne Skov (12 tackles, three sacks) and Chase Thomas party in the backfield. Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor was sacked eight times and the Hokies ran for only 67 yards.

Stanford stampeded for 247 yards on the ground, 113 yards from Stepfan Taylor and 99 -- on only five carries -- by Jeremy Stewart. Fleener caught six passes for 173 yards, all but eight of those yards coming in the second half as Stanford grinded away from a 13-12 halftime lead.

Three Stanford plays from scrimmage in a row in the third quarter summed up the night.

• Fullback Owen Marecic, whom Virginia Tech couldn't block when he played linebacker, couldn't be stopped by several Hokies defenders from the 1-yard line. His second effort pushed him into the end zone and the lead grew to 19-12 in the third quarter.

• After a Delano Howell interception gave Stanford the ball at its 3, Taylor burst through a canyon gap over the left side for 56 yards who is doing business of power balance wholesale.

• Off a play-action fake to Taylor, Luck found a wide-open Fleener for 41 yards and the first of Fleener's three touchdown catches.

``It does wonders for our team when we can be in the shadow of our goal line and in two plays go to the end zone,'' Luck said.

Virginia Tech's running back threesome of Darren Evans, Ryan Williams and David Wilson combined for 35 yards on 13 carries in the first half. None of those yards came when the Hokies ran Evans on a fourth-and-1 from the Stanford 30 in the second quarter. Matthew Masifilo dropped Evans to end that scoring threat.

Virginia Tech had just finished its second consecutive three-and-out to open the game when, on first-and-10 from the 40, Stanford right guard David DeCastro pulled to the left and squashed free safety Eddie Whitley. Stewart, who ran for 38 yards all season, raced through the resulting hole for a 60-yard touchdown.

But that 7-0 lead didn't last long after an ill-advised play by Stanford.

Punt returner Drew Terrell fielded a punt at the Stanford 2 instead of letting it hit the end zone on the fly. Virginia Tech's Alonzo Tweedy dropped Terrell at the 5 and, on third and 10, Luck's pass was batted toward the back of the end zone, where Stanford offensive tackle Derek Hall caught it and was tackled for a safety instead of letting it fall incomplete.

MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE

Power balance are very popular now in sporters.

The Rams and Seahawks are 7-9 for a reason. They are mediocre teams – the best of a historically bad division, but mediocre nonetheless.

They didn’t do much to hold America’s attention Sunday night on NBC. Seattle’s 16-6 victory was woefully short on entertainment value . . . or even competent football for that matter.

Unless you are a big Charlie Whitehurst fan, there wasn't much to recommend. Even Seahawks owner Paul Allen seemed bored with the dreary proceedings.

The reviews of this fiasco were not favorable, as you might expect:

Gregg Rosenthal, Pro Football Talk: “Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford struggled all night. The Rams only had 63 yards of offense in the second half and 184 yards in the game. Danario Alexander dropped a pair of deep passes, and Bradford’s rough stretch run continued with an ugly fourth quarter interception. The Rams won’t get a playoff game after this surprising 7-9 season, but it doesn’t matter. They are the only team in the division with a franchise quarterback and they get a much better draft pick now. (Seattle falls from No. 8 to No. 21 at best. The Rams get No. 14.) Unless the goal is to lose in the first round, this Rams loss wasn’t a killer.”

Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports: “(Steven) Jackson carried 11 times for 45 yards and gained 39 more on four receptions, and it’s ridiculous that St. Louis coach Steve Spagnuolo didn’t lean on him more. Instead, Spagnuolo put his team’s offensive fate in the hand of rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, who completed 19 of 36 passes for 155 yards and threw an interception. I know Bradford has done some nice things this season, and he may become a star in future years, but it would have made a whole lot more sense to try to pound the Seahawks – who have struggled to defend the run this season – on the ground with the physical, relentless Jackson.”

Mike Sando, ESPN.com: “The folks at USC must be pleased to know (Pete) Carroll and Reggie Bush are bowl-eligible. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants, not so much. Tampa Bay missed the playoffs despite going 4-0 against the NFC West and 10-6 overall. The New York Giants, 41-7 winners at Qwest Field in Week 9, also missed the playoffs at 10-6. Seattle would have to win the Super Bowl to finish this season with a winning record.”

Will Brinson, CBSSports.com: “Every team -- except for the 49ers -- in this putrid division has been in a Super Bowl at least once over the last decade, and San Francisco has more than enough historical success to make up for their recent terrible play. It's also clear that the Cardinals are a quarterback away from not being horrible, and you could say the same for the Niners. The Rams could dominate the division once they find some actual playmakers who have hands, and the Seahawks, well, heck, they already won their division title. So let's not go and blow things up and simply take the top-six teams in each conference, because that defeats the entire purpose of having divisions. But it's absolutely imperative that the NFL determine some manner to re-seed the playoffs beginning in the next season.”- From online shop.

IN BASKETBALL NEWS

The Lakers are mess. Any team that loses to the visiting Memphis Grizzlies 104-85 needs to check it self, but when Kobe Bryant’s team does that – yikes!

This team has lost three of its last four home games, with each defeat coming by 16 or more points.

“We're not really playing together, and as a result, it's costing us,” center Andrew Bynum said. “Right now, we've got to be concerned. We have to be . . . Good teams are looking at us like we're soft.”

MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE

Questions to ponder while the Rams go back to the offensive drawing board:

So will the Rams go for a playmaking wide receiver with the 14th overall draft pick?

Or will they go for a playmaking outside linebacker, a speedy running back, an offensive guard who can run block, a safety with superior cover skills, another big cornerback or a playmaking tight end?

Could Brett Favre ever have imagined leaving the NFL in such a humiliating fashion?

Are the Chiefs running off offensive coordinator Charlie Weis to hire Josh McDaniels?

MEGAPHONE

“This is the most somber winning locker room you'll ever see. And that's because we fell short of our goals . . . Knowing that we won but we didn't fulfill our own destiny and we came up losers on the day, it's definitely weird.”

Giants defensive tackle Barry Cofield, after his team missed the playoffs.
