It's Got to Be the Morning After
-And Stanford hires...Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh was an NFL QB, most famously with the Bears and the Colts. and was the coach of the University of San Diego, not exactly a DIvision 1A team. His record there, though, was 29-6 with 27 wins in his last 29 games which isn’t too shabby. But is it a reach? Or a gamble? And is it the right gamble?
-The Warriors road woes continue as they lose their eighth straight road loss to the Nets, 105-97. At fault is an offense that's forgetting to run and gun and instead is a little too trigger happy.
-Aaron Brooks kvetches about everything, gets job back.
-Giants' fans dream still not coming true-- the trade of Benitez to Florida hits a snag. But hey, Eric Byrnes likes the Giants' moves.
-Whither Marshawn Lynch?
-Ann Killion of the Merc says no to Big Mac for the Hall of Fame.
-Ira Miller sizes up the NFL
-Athletics Nation ponders what the A's want for Christmas.

Harbaugh is the real deal. Great move by Stanford. Mark these words: Harbaugh will be a big-time college, then pro coach before it's all said and done. He did a great job at USD -- it doesn't matter that it's a small school. Harbaugh has presence and a system that works -- those are things that work at any level. It may a year or two, but with Harbaugh at the helm, Stanford will be back.
