Lakers Stop Boston And Streak In Process
The Boston Celtics had hoped that they could take their streak to 20 straight games, but Kobe Bryant and Paul Gasol had very different ideas on how they wanted to do things. Bryant tossed in 27 points and Pau Gasol hit baskets down the stretch when the Lakers needed him to and came away with a 92-83 victory. The Laker players probably had this date circled for a long time after losing the Championship series to the Celtics in June. For most people this was a game that would tell a lot about the Lakers and it did. they would not let the Celtics push them around and they came to play.
For the Celtics it was their third loss of the season and they will just regroup and move on. They knew they would not win every game the rest of the season they just want to play well night in and night out. They have done that so far this season and as long as they keep that up they should have no problem at all being the team to beat once again.

Christmas Party Games And Decorations Make The Holiday Festive
If you are like me nothing can get you in the Christmas holiday spirit more than a few drops of snow and putting up your Christmas Decorations. Every year it seems companies are coming out with something new to make us say wow and that really is part of the fun of Christmas. From flashing lights to air powered Globes with Winter scenes inside nothing seems off limits for our yards when it comes to Christmas.
Finding these are almost as much fun as putting them up. One of the best places I have found is Celebration.com. They have a very vast selection of Christmas decorations along with some great Christmas Party Games that will keep the family enjoyed for hours. Everyone knows Christmas has always been about families and that will never change.
Bucs Lose Title Hopes
The Carolina Panthers used the two prong rushing attack of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart as they rushed for over 300 yards and a 38-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The win puts the Panthers in sole possession of first place in the NFC South and control their destiny as far as division titles go. The Bucs had no answers for the Panthers running game as the offensive line of the Panthers blocked well and Williams and Stewart made many Buc players missed in the open field as well.
You have to give Carolina a lot of credit as they came in with a good game plan and did what they needed to do on a National stage. For the Bucs this was the worse I have seen them play all season long, but you will have games like this. All you can do is move on from it and learn from your mistakes. The Bucs still have a great shot at the playoffs so they still must keep that in their sights as well. There still is three games to play and you never know what could happen.

Popcorn Still A Great Treat For Everyone
Popcorn has been around for thousands of years as Native Americans first discovered it and today it has been refined, but still enjoyed just like it was way back then. There of course have been some major changes along the way which have included Gourmet Popcorn along with many other flavors as well. No longer is the consumer stuck with just the plain variety as we have many different varieties to choose from and baked several different ways as well.
The one thing about popcorn is it comes in all shapes and sizes and popcorn gifts are a great choice for the holidays. You can get it in big round decorative tins or just in a bag if that is what you want. It comes in a variety of flavors as well so you can find something for everyone on your shopping list. People love popcorn and that will never change as it has stood the test of time as a treat we love.
If you want to give Popcorn as a gift, do not forget to try The Popcorn Factory as they have a very vast selection to choose from that will delight any family member.

Brady Quinn Done For The Year
It looks like Brady Quinn has thrown his last pass this year as he is out for the season. Quinn tried to play with a broken finger, but did more harm to it and will be done for the season. I do look for Quinn to be the starter next year though.
One thing this does is open the door up for Derek Anderson. Anderson will now have a chance to audition for other NFL teams as I do not look for him to be back next year with the Browns. Look for him to get traded, but the Browns will not get much for him as his stock has really went down in the last few months.

Titans Stay Perfect Despite Struggles
The Chicago Bears had a good idea and that was to make the Tennessee Titans one dimensional, but that did not work either. Even though the Titans were only able to rush for 20 yards Kerry Collins threw for 279 yards, his first game over 200 this season. The Titans hadn't had a QB go over 200 yards passing since Week 13 of 2007. Tennessee seems to be doing everything right and until they make a lot of mistakes they will continue to win. As we know an unbeaten season does not mean that you will win the Super Bowl just as the New England Patriots.
