  AMES, Iowa (AP) — Chris Brown ran for two second-half touchdowns and No. 4 Oklahoma survived a major scare from Iowa State, beating the Cyclones 17-7 Saturday.

D.J. Wolfe’s end-zone interception midway through the fourth quarter helped turn the tide for the Sooners (7-1, 3-1 Big 12), who won at Iowa State for the 20th straight time.

Is Steve McClaren ready for a “John the Baptist” moment? The crowds are calling for his head… especially if Hiddink’s Russia beat Israel.

In my mind, McClaren has gotten in over his head (no pun intended) but I blame the incompetent bureacracy of the FA.

So who will replace the unlucky man?

The final weekend of play and four of the six matches have something riding on them. This is both a fun aspect of the US game and an annoying one. It is always interesting when teams are still playing for something at the end but it is also annoying when you realize that only three of the 13 teams are out of the playoffs this late in the game. But the good news, one of those four meaningful games is not for a playoff spot but for the top of the conference.

Columbus Crew (34pts) vs. DC United (55pts)
7:30pm ET/4:30 pm PT
TV: Direct Kick
Internet: MLStv
The Crew are already out of the playoffs and United have won the Supporters’ Shield so neither of them have much to play for. Still, United has looked a bit soft of late so they need to use this game as a warm up for whoever awaits them next week. For the Crew, this season was not one to remember but beating United on the final day would at least give them a big splash at the end. Plus, this could be Sigi Schmid’s final game in charge.
Predictions: Me CC 1-2 DC, Wife CC 0-3 DC

The experts are telling us two things these days. First, we don’t get enough exercise. We sit-a lot! We sit at our desks, on our couches, at our tables, in our cars, at restaurants and much more. Now, mind you, sitting is not altogether a bad thing, the problem is that we’ve got the whole sitting thing out of balance. We sit too much. The result is that we’re all becoming fat!

It seems that in our modern world, we just don’t move around like we used to. We should spend more time running, jogging or even walking. We should be taking more stairs and less escalators. The American Cancer Society reported recently that people who don’t exercise are endangering their health just as much as people who smoke! Not only that, but people who don’t exercise–even a small amount–are twice as likely to get heart disease as people who exercise.

Drogba: A lot to answer for

After a midweek in which Steve McClaren played Russian roulette with England’s Euro 2008 qualification hopes and proceeded to shoot himself in the foot, it is back to the hurly burly of domestic action this weekend.

Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton began his quest to secure the Formula One championship by setting the fastest time in opening practice Friday for this weekend’s season ending Brazilian Grand Prix.

Following a damp morning session in which the Ferrari duo of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa set the quickest time, Hamilton took advantage of a drying track in the afternoon to post a top lap of 1:12.767.

SURFERS PARADISE, Australia (AP) — Oriol Servia had a solid qualifying performance Friday for a guy who wasn’t expected in Australia.

Servia, a late replacement for Tristan Gommendy on the PKV Racing team, had the fastest provisional qualifying time of 1 minute, 30.862 seconds for the Lexmark Indy 300 on Sunday.

Will Power of Australia was second-fastest in 1:30.895, followed by Justin Wilson of Britain (1:31.365). Sebastien Bourdais crashed for the second time in three days and finished eighth.

Last Spring, the Minnesota Wild felt the disappointment of falling in the playoffs for a 2nd time to the hands of the Anaheim Ducks. To literally add insult to injury the Wild felt abused in the series which capped off by an ugly sucker punch by Brad May to unsuspecting Minnesota defenseman Kim Johnsson sending him to the ice with a concussion. May would receive a pathetic 3 game suspension, and Minnesota was bounced in Game 5. Since that defeat, the Minnesota Wild and its fans have had this game circled on their calendar. A chance at least in small part revenge. Wild fans have been salivating at the chance of the Wild giving some serious payback to the ‘Dirty’ Ducks. Will they get some level of redemption tonight?

Right from the first shift, you could feel the tension in the air at Honda Centre perhaps personified by Wes Walz putting a good check on Anaheim’s Travis Moen near the Ducks’ bench. Both teams were wary of the other’s top lines, but it was the Wild carrying most of the play throughout the first half of the period. The Wild would earn an early power play when the hated Brad May was called for hooking. On the man advantage the Wild work the puck around the perimeter rather well; with Marian Gaborik drawing the defense down low before finding Brent Burns all alone in the slot. Burns got the puck and fired a wrister that found the outside of the pipe, a big opportunity missed by the young rugged defenseman. The Wild would also generate some point blasts from Kurtis Foster, including one laser that found Todd Marchant’s skate having the Buffalo, New York-native limping. As the period would go on, things would step up physically, and Derek Boogaard would drop the gloves with Brad May. The much smaller May must be given credit for accepting Boogaard’s challenge but it was a clear mismatch. May tried to just hold on and put his head as far away from Boogaard’s long reach as possible. Boogaard was firing right hands landing a few on the back of May’s head, and then pummeling the body to try to open him up for a big haymaker. Yet, the veteran May was happy to let his body take the beating and eventually the officials stepped in to prevent a massacre. The Wild would get into some penalty trouble and rather quickly there were two Wild players in the box, Brian Rolston and Keith Carney respectively. Yet, this is not the hyper lethal Ducks power play of a year ago, its the rather ordinary power play but they still have some firepower from two rather potent point shots from Chris Pronger and Francois Beauchemin. Both Pronger and Beauchemin would launch blasts at Josh Harding who was sharp tonight. Harding demonstrated tremendous rebound control, and preventing the Ducks from getting the 2nd chances they were so good at taking advantage of last season. The Wild’s penalty kill would manage to kill off the 2-man advantage, but the chippiness was still very evident. After a fairly benign looking shot by Anaheim’s Ryan Getzlaf he gave a small shove to Kim Johnsson and this caused Nick Schultz to come to his defense and the gloves came off. Nick Schultz is certainly not your usual fighter for the Wild, but he isn’t afraid to scrap from time to time. The two had a fairly intense close-in struggle but neither were able to really launch big punches at one another before Getzlaf finally wrestled the feisty Schultz to the ice. Throughout the period the Wild were bailed out by the great goaltending of Josh Harding who did a great job of corraling the loose pucks near the crease and the game would be knotted at 0-0 going into the 2nd.

Do you find that amongst the people you know, some are just Law of Attraction Magnets? Like magnets attracting pins to it, everything – wealth, health, great jobs, excellent relationships, love and happiness – seems to leap and land on their laps. They live their lives as if there are no limits and nothing can stop them. And yet, we all know, some of us continue in our struggle to get by each day. We attract nothing but the opposite of what these Law of Attraction Magnets get.

Do you want to know why they are such Abundance Magnets?
