Sizzle
Heather Richardson » U.S. speedskater locked up a spot in her third Olympic event by winning the 1,500 meters at the U.S. Speedskating Championships on Tuesday after previously making the team for the 500 and 1,000 meters.
New York Jets » Thanks to the Colts’ lack of vanity, Rex Ryan and the Jets have been given a shot at the postseason. When Indy shut down Peyton Manning & Co., that allowed New York to control their own destiny this weekend against Cincinnati.
Fizzle
Cincinnati Bengals » Won the AFC North, which is impressive. More impressive — or rather shocking — is that the Bengals failed to get one Pro Bowl selection.
Matt Schaub » Playing for the Texans hasn’t hurt Andre Johnson, who made the Pro Bowl, but Schaub was left out in the, err, sun, as Tom Brady‘s notoriety trumped Schaub’s NFL-best 4,467 yards and sixth-best QB rating of 99.1 (vs. Brady’s 4,212 yards and 97.4 rating, 4th and 8th respectively).
