The Notre Dame women's hoops team won on the road at North Carolina-Charlotte, 68-61.
The good news for the Irish--in a physical battle on the road, ND kept its poise and held its own, despite a lack of preparation time.
The Indianapolis Colts played well and efficiently in their final regular season game, a tune-up 23-0 victory over Tennessee's backups. But as Bob Kravitz points out, maybe the team's current 9 game winning streak is bad luck--it seems like the Colts do better in the playoffs when things don't appear to look so good. Beware--the playoff game coming up this Saturday in San Diego will be a tough one for Indy. Beating the same team twice in one year is difficult--and remember the Colts' first win over the Chargers back in November was on a last-second field goal.
The Detroit Lions, meanwhile, by most accounts, played hard, but...they're a bad team, and thus lost to the Green Bay Packers 31-21 to finish 0-16 this season, the first NFL team to do that.
There's not much left to say. Oh, well, there is this--as expected, the Lions fired Coach Rod Marinelli today. After losing 23 of his last 24 games, he expected nothing less.
It's too bad the team can't fire its owner.
