NFL Week 12: Bubbler gets his Lisch

If there was ever a proven point-shaving scandal, involving players or officials, the fallout would be widespread. Not saying it would kill the league, but that's a commissioner's worst nightmare.

Harbaugh with a nice moment of having his cake and eating it too -- he calls Alex Smith "our starting quarterback," insists Kaepernick isn't a backup, and says he'll announce a decision Wednesday on who starts next week.

The NBA seemed to recover nicely.

This is so insanely ridiculous -- the NFL yanked Rich Eisen's Thanksgiving interview with Bradley Cooper. The actor stars in a movie where he moves home with his parents while dealing with his bipolar disorder. His dad, played by Robert DeNiro, is a small-time bookie. And although the gambling connection wasn't part of the NFL Network interview, the fact that there is gambling in the movie at all was enough for the NFL to put the kibosh on.

In this light, I fully expect Al Michaels to be flogged at Rockefeller Center for his subtle reference to the over/under in the Packers-Giants game last night.

Man. If the game can ever lose its spot atop the pecking order, it will be because of these humorless and controlling fucks.

Meanwhile, the NFL looks the other way on Suh's kick to Shaub's nuts.

No, the referee gambling thing was a disaster for the NBA.

The real trick was how David Stern waved his magic wand and made it all go away ...
