The December Curse Is Over For The Dallas Cowboys
The curse has to end sometime. Just ask the Boston Red Sox. Ask all the Chicago Cubs fans that are still crossing their fingers, saying their prayers, and dreaming those dreams. Even if it hasn’t happened yet, it eventually will. Most (if not not every) record will be broken. Games that shouldn’t be won will [...]

Christmas was anything but kind to the Tennessee Titans, as their playoff hopes were crushed by the visiting San Diego Chargers, who won their 10th straight with Friday night’s 42-17 rout in Nashville.
