At the end of the Dallas Cowboys versus Arizona Cardinals game, Jason Garrett sent his field goal unit out to win the game. Before the ball was snapped, Garrett called a timeout and then the kicker made the field goal. It didn't count, and then the cowboys missed the field goal when they lined back up. Some are saying Garrett iced his own kicker. Watch the video and then answer the question:

On the morning of Thursday, December 8th, 2011, the Los Angeles Angels and Albert Pujols agreed to a ten year contract worth $250 million. The Miami Marlins and the St Louis Cardinals were also in the hunt to sign Pujols.

Hillary Clinton's State department provided the United Nations the Justice Department's lawsuit against the state of Arizona's immigration law. It was included in a United Nations human rights report. Clinton said she included the report to serve as an example to other states. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has called this move offensive stating "[t]he idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional." Does Brewer have a point? Should the State Department have linked the illegal alien law to Human Rights Violations?

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson got pranked by his players on their flight to Kansas City last week: Every one of them was wearing a tie bearing a picture of Gibby taking a bubble bath.

The compromising image was from a 1989 commercial Gibson did for Right Guard, back when he was a Dodger and embracing Hollywood values.

Somebody found it on YouTube, of course. Maybe reliever J.J. Putz, a Michigan Man from Trenton trying to needle his Sparty manager.

"There will be retribution at some point this year," Gibson told Fox Sports Arizona. "I don't aim to get even, but I do aim to get ahead."

Fort Worth (Texas) quarterback T.J. Millweard had thought the recruiting process was over and he was looking at heading east for college. Turns out he wasn't quite sure of his commitment to Virginia Tech and ended up looking west for a college.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound signal caller switched his verbal commitment on Thursday, pledging to Arizona State. His commitment gives the Sun Devils 12 commitments for the class of 2012, the most in the Pac-12.

The Hokies landed a commitment from Christianburg (Va.) quarterback Brenden Motley yesterday as well.

There are some really important games this weekend. I think it's hard to say which is the most important.

Number 3 TCU takes on number 5 Utah, which will without a doubt shuffle the Top 5 in the BCS. One team will drop and the other has the potential to climb.

Number 6 Alabama goes to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to play the number 10 LSU Tigers. Baton Rouge is a nasty place to have to go on the road and play. This game has National Title and SEC West Title implications on the line. If Bama wins, they are still in the hunt for both SEC West and the National title games. If they lose, they are out of both. If LSU wins out and the number 2 Auburn Tigers lose to both the Georgia Bulldogs and the number 6 Alabama Crimson Tide, then they could make the SEC championship game and have an outside shot at the BCS championship game.

Number 15 Arizona goes to number 13 Stanford in a game that should separate the contender from the pretender in the PAC 10. Is Arizona a legitimate threat to Oregon? Not if they don't beat Stanford. The Ducks have several PAC 10 games left. A loss to Arizona and a loss to Oregon State, would give Stanford the Conference Title if they are able to win out. If Stanford beats Arizona and Arizona beats Oregon, then the PAC 10 is going to join the ACC, Big East, and SEC East as a sloppy mess. If Stanford loses, then Arizona controls its destiny in the PAC 10.

Number 18 Arkansas goes to Columbia, SC to take on the number 19 South Carolina Gamescocks in a game with SEC East implications. Arkansas is pretty eliminated from the SEC West title. South Carolina, however, is in the thick of the messy SEC East. They are actually in the drivers seat for it, but a loss to Arkansas would end that.

Number 21 Baylor goes on the road to take on number 17 Oklahoma State. Baylor beat Texas, but are they for real or is Texas that bad? Well, we find out this weekend. The Big 12 South is still wide open and the 3 teams (Oklahoma is the 3rd) vying for the South Title have yet to play each other. This is the first game between their top 3. Whoever wins will be in the driver's seat and have to beat Oklahoma to go to the Title game. Also, a loss by Baylor hurts TCU in the BCS. So far Baylor has been there big win and the discussion about Utah is that they shouldn't be #5 in the polls. So TCU would love for Baylor to win the Big 12 South.

All I know is we have a great slate of games for the weekend. What do you think is the biggest and most important?

I arrived in Phoenix, AZ to attend my company's BCS National Championship Party on January 8th, the day the tragic shooting rampage that killed six people and injured 13, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. I didn't know what had happened until I stopped by a gas station to grab a soda and the news from a TV mounted in the back corner of the convenient store was discussing what occurred. I asked the clerk what happened, and his reply was "one of the many crazy militias we have around here brainwashed someone into killing all them innocent people."

Opened in November 2009, it showcases Oklahoma sports memorabilia of all kinds and the collection keeps growing.

The most recent items obtained by the museum are the batting practice jersey and spikes of Stillwater native Matt Holliday of the St. Louis Cardinals.

The museum is constantly trying to grow its collection but with only 9,800 square feet for display, there is not room for most of the items in its possession, said Justin Lenhart, museum director.

“That's big for a house but not that big for a museum,” Lenhart.

That's why the museum rotates exhibits twice a year, so even if you have been before, you likely will see something new on your next visit.

The same is true for memorabilia from the 127 members in the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame.

“In order to give everybody their due, we rotate people through,” Lenhart said.

The Jim Thorpe Musuem also operates the Oklahoma Sports Museum in Guthrie.

In October, the museum is scheduled to open a 700-square foot gallery of Oklahoma sports history in the Oklahoma City Arena.

Exhibits in that gallery will be rotated annually, Lenhart said.

The Cardinals had two close calls go against them Saturday at Busch Stadium, but it was the things they failed to do around those pivotal moments that decided the game, not a couple of gestures from the umpires.

A safe call on a play at first base helped fuel Toronto's five-run rally and a strike call on a fastball at home plate ended the Cardinals' best chance to answer in a 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays. The Cardinals could have made a pitch or collected a hit that negated the impact of either call.

They didn't.

"That's the nature of a rut. It's one of those things that seem to compound itself," first baseman Lance Berkman said. "We have to do an overall better job. You can't lay it all at the feet of one thing. We've got to pitch better. We've got to play better defense. We've got to create better opportunities for ourselves. The big hits will come if you give yourself situations to come through. We haven't had many of those."

The Cardinals lost for the 11th time in 14 games and slid closer to third-place Pittsburgh in the standings than to division-leading Milwaukee.

Toronto's Juan Rivera clubbed a three-run homer in the third after the batter head of him, J.P. Arencibia, was ruled safe at first base on what manager Tony La Russa called a "bang-bang" play.

Down by three in the eighth, the Cardinals brought the tying run to the plate in Matt Holliday only to have the No. 3 hitter called out on a strike three that he felt was inside enough to argue. He was ejected by home plate umpire Marvin Hudson.

The Cardinals are becoming used to contending with depleted lineup as they continue the first week of life without Albert Pujols and await the return of several would-be regulars. The rolling absences have coupled with the unsteady bullpen to put a premium on crisper, tidier play. The margin for error is slimmer without the offense or sharp rotation to mask soft spots.

As an example for Saturday night, Berkman cited the fountain drink rule. Sponsors don't base promotions for deals on donuts and drinks on things that happen often.

"You get down 5-1 early and it's an uphill battle," he said. "At that point you're talking about having to score six runs off a pretty good pitching staff. If you did that, I think everybody gets a (discounted soda). That's not something you do every night when you have all your horses. It's just that we have not played well, that's the bottom line."

The Blue Jays arrived in St. Louis on a four-game losing streak during which they scored three runs total.

Rivera got that many with one swing.

He got to take that swing because of a play not completed and pitches not made.

In the third inning, Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia walked the first two batters he faced, including the opposing pitcher, Carlos Villanueva (5-1). That put an inning in motion that peaked with Daniel Descalso's high throw to Berkman at first base. Toronto got five runs in the inning but had only one hit, Rivera's homer. Arencibia scalded a grounder that Descalso moved swiftly to his left to snare. His throw was errant, and Arencibia was ruled safe. Berkman thought he landed on the bag first but acknowledged umpire D. J. Reyburn had a call that "could have gone either way."

Yunel Escobar scored on the play to take a 2-1 lead and Rivera homered a few pitches later. Descalso's error meant four of the runs were unearned.

Garcia (6-3) agreed that's different from undeserved.

"The last thing you want to do is walk the pitcher, especially from an American League team," said the lefty, whose 0.88 home ERA after seven innings Saturday is still the lowest in the majors. "What I'm trying to do is hit the ball, swing the bat, put it in play, and I didn't do it. . No excuses."

Added La Russa: "Walk the first two guys and that really puts you in a position where something bad can happen."

The Cardinals had their chance to rally against reliever Jon Rauch in the eighth. Ryan Theriot opened with a single, and Rauch plunked Jon Jay to bring the tying run to the plate with no outs and the Cardinals' two best hitters looming. Holliday watched a 1-2 fastball from Rauch, and Hudson called him out. Holliday had a different opinion of the pitch's location and expressed it colorfully enough to get ejected.

The Jays brought in lefty Marc Rzepczynski to face Berkman, and the reliever got Berkman to ground into a double play on the first pitch.

"We had nine innings to score, but you set up first and second and you have Matt who's squaring the ball up all night long . you like your chances to get something good," La Russa said. "That's a tough out to give up."

The Cardinals got two of their runs on a double play and, later, a ninth-inning error. Their only RBI was Yadier Molina's in the fourth. Calls didn't determine the games.

Misses did.

On Thursday, September 9, 2011 the Arizona Wildcats visit the Oklahoma State Cowboys in week two of the 2011 college football season. Last week, the PAC 12 looked shaky:

Former Auburn quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner, Cam Newton, became the first rookie quarterback to throw over 400 yards in his NFL debut. He broke Otto Graham's record of 346 yards for the most passing yards thrown by a quarterback in their first start by throwing for 422 yards.
