Cullen Jenkins sacked Dalton and knocked the ball away

An unnecessary roughness penalty on Adam "Pacman" Jones a few plays later gave the Eagles a first down at the 3, but Folesthrew three straight incomplete passes. Henery kicked a 22-yard field goal to tie it at 10.

After the two-minute warning, Cullen Jenkins sacked Dalton and knocked the ball away. Darryl Tapp recovered and ran 4 yards to the Bengals 12. But the drive stalled at the 1 and Henery kicked a 20-yarder for the lead.

Foles made his fifth straight start for Michael Vick, who just returned to practice this week after sustaining a concussion on Nov. 11.

Samuel is looking forward to playing against Eagles quarterback Michael Vick

Samuel was steaming mad about the comment. But, he seems to have cooled down a bit with kickoff approaching.

"No decline in 22, right?" said Samuel, when told of Reid'scomments. "He just wanted to clear that up?"

Samuel is looking forward to playing against Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.

"He's a great talent," Vick said. "Seeing him on the other side of the ball is going to be different."

In a little tweetfest, Samuel claimed that he didn't take any shots at Reid, who fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo on Oct. 16.

Brown said it's important to make Bryant sit out when it's necessary

Brown said it's important to make Bryant sit out when it's necessary.

"I remember in training camp last year he turned his ankle really bad and I told him to go sit down," Brownrecalled. "He tied his shoe, and when I wasn't paying attention, he was back on the court playing. He's just weird like that."

This time, Bryant sat in the locker room and underwent further treatment.

He also held an extended and very lighthearted session with reporters.

Jennings came down with the ball

Jennings came down with the ball. By rule, by sight and by every other metric, he should have been given an interception. But one official, with his sight obscured by a huge scrum of humanity, raised his arms for a touchdown formation and the NFL now has the controversy of the decade on its hands.

"They should give Green Bay the game is what they should do," Grudensaid. "There's no way Green Bay should fly 6,000 miles home after losing a game like this. That's what instant replay is for. I don't like the way this game ended. I have a bad taste in my mouth."

Williams finished with nine aces

Her win over the 10th-seeded Erraniof Italy turned out exactly the way it looked beforehand on paper.

Errani spun in serves at an average of 83 mph, while Williams was consistently in the 110s.

Errani hustled from side to side, retrieving balls and trying to get into long points, while Williams stayed patient — but only as patient as she had to be — setting herself up for 38 winners against only 21 unforced errors.

Williams finished with nine aces and heads into the final with 50 for the tournament. Errani's total: Zero.

"My objective was to prolong the match as much as possible," said Errani, who did, in fact, stay out there for 1 hour, 4 minutes.

The commercial, which features Hertzfeld and other members of the original Mac team

The commercial, which features Hertzfeld and other members of the original Mac team discussing their baby, never appeared on TV "because Apple deemed it too self-congratulatory, although it was used in some promotional materials sent to dealers," Hertzfeldwrote.

"So we set out to capture the greatness of Lisa in something affordable to individuals rather than corporations," he says in the unaired ad, in which he's identified as a Macintosh "software wizard." Hertzfeld was referring to Apple's business-targeted, graphical interface-sporting Lisa computer released in January 1983.

Also appearing in the ad are Mac team members Andy Hertzfeld, George Crow, Bill Atkinson, Mike Murray, and Burrell Smith—though the most famous architect of the Mac, Steve Jobs, does not appear.

The pain might have been mitigated a bit by the early lead

He turned it around Sunday, pitching seven innings, giving up four hits and three walks, and striking out eight. In the process, he lowered his earned run average to 2.83. It was not quite the wondrous ease he showed a month and a half ago, but it was a highly effective performance nonetheless, and made him the National League's first 14-game winner.

"I felt like I had a good knuckleball pretty much the whole night," said Dickey, who battled nausea and stomach pains all game.

The pain might have been mitigated a bit by the early lead his teammates had given him. In the first inning, David Wright blasted a double off the base of the wall in right-center field, bringing in Daniel Murphy from first base.
