Oklahoma State Vs. Arizona: Your Rootability Index For The Alamo Bowl

At 9:15 p.m. EST, Oklahoma State and Arizona do battle in the Alamo Bowl. Need to decide on a team to root for? Spencer Hall is here to help.

PAGLIACCI CONSIDERS YOUR ANTICS TOO THEATRICAL. If we're comparing the coaches, it's really just a matter of taste. For you drama queens, there's Oklahoma State coach Mike Stoops, who complains a quantified and verified 51.2% of the time he is shown on television.

In another universe, Arizona's Mike Stoops is an accomplished actor in Hong Kong films. He plays a heavy named "Oh-san," a devious British artistocrat and shipping magnate determined to rob China of its cultural heritage by stealing its artifacts. Heavy-emoting Mike Stoops was born for this role.

Anyway, there's Gundy on the other sideline, who despite his epic work "I'm a Man, And I Am Forty" is fairly low-key. it's a strange world we live in where Mike Gundy is the stoic in the group, but here we are, cowboy.

SPEAKING OF COWBOYS. Stylistically, neither team will disappoint for lack of flair. Arizona's gameplan usually involves more than a few heaves downfield to Juron Criner, who while not a burner is more than capable of playing jumpball with anyone in the country. They're anything but mundane, right down to the flowing locks of hair on the Arizona defensive line and Nick Foles' epic mane.

They don't compare offensively to Oklahoma State, however. Few teams do, since most teams don't have a 4,000-yard passer (Brandon Weeden), a 1,600-yard wideout (Justin Blackmon, and that's WITH a suspension for a DUI arrest on the year), and a 1,500-yard rusher. The appropriate defensive coordinator's response to this is to leap headfirst from the pressbox, which you may see at one point this evening. Arrange padding appropriately, AlamoDome personnel.

VIDEO: Hedo Turkoglu Can't Melt Stan Van Gundy's Icy Heart

Hedo Turkoglu has returned to the Orlando Magic, bringing great joy to all of the humans of central Florida. Well, almost all of the humans.

Turkoglu hit four three-pointers in Orlando's come-from-behind victory over the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day, helping contribute to his game-high +30 on-court plus-minus mark. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy's reactions, though, tell me the shots were outside the context of the offense. From The Basketball Jones, some SVG anti-celebrations:

Illinois Vs. Baylor: Your Rootability Index For The Texas Bowl

At 6 p.m. EST, Illinois and Baylor do battle in the Texas Bowl. Need to decide on a team to root for? Spencer Hall is here to help.

WELCOME TO WACO SOUTH: The purpose of the Rootability Index is to help you determine how you, the neutral fan, uninvested in either team on a personal level, should feel about the two teams in the Texas Bowl. For the Texas Bowl, you should root for Baylor, as there is quite literally no reason to pull for illinois here.

Baylor is appearing in its first bowl game since 1994. They remain a historical underdog known for taking brickbeatings at the hands of Oklahoma and Texas in the Big 12 South and for having a good med school. Going to a bowl game isn't in the plans for Baylor ever. At this time in most years, Baylor football players are enjoying marathon XBox sessions, icing their knees, and rearranging their class schedules to accommodate waking up late.

This year they will be playing a game in front of at least 60,000 people in Houston, most of whom will be Baylor Bears fans. Robert Griffin had a triumphant season in coming back fully from his ACL injury suffered in his freshman year, passing for over 3,000 yards and living up to his massive potential. As the most excited 7-5 team in the known universe, Baylor is the one team among many not just mouthing the lines "ohyeahwererealhappytobehere." Sure, we'll take the mechanical bull challenge; why of course we will enjoy the team bowling competition!

The Original Space Jam Website, A Lost Treasure Of The Internet

We're now just days away from 2011, which (obviously) means we're drawing ever closer to the 15th anniversary of the greatest movie starring Michael Jordan alongside an animated rabbit ever released: Space Jam.

And in one of the more amazing Internet discoveries ever, it turns out that the original Space Jam website is still in existence, seemingly untouched from the day it launched 15 years ago.

It's truly magnificent in every sense of the word.

Baseball Hall Of Fame Voter Logic, As Applied To Everyday Situations

Jeff Bagwell should, and probably will, join the 2011 class of Baseball Hall of Famers. His numbers are great, he's a well-liked one-team player, and nobody is accusing him of steroid use. At least, not directly. On Monday, Danny Knobler at CBS Sports wrote that he is only voting for Jack Morris and Roberto Alomar.

There are players I'm not voting for this year because I strongly suspect they built their credentials by cheating. And I've decided, after much consternation, that I'm not going to vote for them.

Who are they? I can't tell you.

He can't tell you. On the other hand, he did tell you. There's no way Bagwell's credentials aren't enough for Knobler; as Hardball Talk points out, he implicated him without mentioning him.

I don't mean to single out Knobler here -- BBWAA voters have famously employed all kinds of strange lines of logic, including the staggering "I didn't vote for him because players shouldn't be voted in unanimously" defense. If you operated by Hall of Fame voter logic in everyday life, what would your life be like? This is how I imagine the morning routine:

Farewell Brett Favre? Not So Fast...

Amidst endless shots of Brett Favre on the sidelines and one memorably maudlin montage, Tuesday night's Eagles-Vikings game was punctuated by the arrival of Joe Webb as Willie Beamen to Brett Favre's Cap Rooney.

After a performance like that, can you blame Vikings fans for imagining what the 2010 season would have looked like with Webb and Leslie Frazier instead of Brad Childress and Brett Favre? 'Course, that doesn't mean Vikings fans won't get one last taste of Favre:

...Coach Leslie Frazier made it clear afterward that if veteran Brett Favre can pass his concussion test before Sunday's regular-season finale in Detroit that the future Hall of Famer will get the start.

"If Brett can go, Brett will be our quarterback for sure, if he were able to pass the concussion test," Frazier said. "So it wouldn't be an issue for me or our team if Brett were able to go."

Oh, AWESOME. But let's talk about that montage.

Oney Guillen Flings 400 Words Of Twitter Rage At Bobby Jenks

In the evening hours, if I'm online, I tend to turn off Twitter because it's 90 percent guttural out-of-context reactions to sporting events you aren't watching, and 10 percent athletes stating whether they are or are not on an airplane. For some reason, I didn't on Tuesday night, and I was rewarded with Oney Guillen's real-time exploding of Bobby Jenks.

Oney Guillen, son of White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, resigned from his position earlier this year over his Twitter activity. Jenks was the team's closer until heading to Boston, and on Tuesday he told FanHouse:

"I'll always respect (Guillen) as a person and give him credit that's due," Jenks said. "But I want to play for a manager who trusts his relievers, regardless of what's going on."

He added: "Why would I come back to that negativity? I'm looking forward to playing for a manager who knows how to run a bullpen."

Those are pretty harsh words. They are not nearly as harsh as the words that were waiting for him on Twitter. I'm just going to step back for a moment and let Guillen's tweets speak for themselves. There are cusses. Reader discretion advised:

Michael Vick Should Have Been Executed, Says Fox News' Tucker Carlson

Michael Vick suffered an injury on the first play of Tuesday night's Eagles-Vikings game, but for some people, that sort of comeuppance isn't nearly enough. Yeah, he probably should have been executed.

That's how Fox News' Tucker Carlson sees it:

"Now I'm a Christian ... But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did it in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should have been executed."

Maybe this was inevitable. There's no more emphatic endorsement of Vick's reformation than a vote of confidence from Barack Obama, so I guess we needed to an equal and opposite reaction from someone like Carlson. But it's still completely disgraceful, right? Right.

Video of Carlson's comments is after the jump.
