A – Amateur Boxing Promoter. Just because she got punched in the face by some dude on national television, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi thinks she knows something about boxing. The now apparently sub-100 pound Snooki has announced the formation of Team Snooki Boxing. Oddly enough, the outfit features a trio if Irish, not Italian, brothers. The brothers will fight on a boxing card in Atlanta City on Jan. 28 in a fight promoted by Snooki, who will probably sleep with all the boxers a some point leading up to the fight.

B – Bench Vomit. In what could be the strangest sports story of all time, Dallas Mavericks forward Sean Williams puked all over himself while sitting on the bench during his team's loss at home against Denver because he had eaten too many chocolate covered almonds before the game. There are some excellent pictures of a vomit-soaked Williams sitting on the bench smiling like a crack head.

C – Cincinnati Bengals. In arguably the biggest regular-season game in franchise history, the Cincinnati Bengals are showing just how sad their franchise is. The Bengals offered whatever fans of theirs exist, a buy-one-get-one-free deal for their Week 17 clash against the Baltimore Ravens (who are 1.5-point favorites on NFL odds). Operation BOGO at Paul Brown Stadium worked as the Bengals announced the game was a sell out and would not be subject to a local viewing blackout.

D – Drake.  Penn State wide receiver Curtis Drake blasted Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin in the face in the locker room after practice last week and now Drake is not with Penn State as it makes its way to the TicketCity Bowl. And now McGloin, who received the knuckle sandwich courtesy of Drake, may not play either as McGloin got blasted so bad that he had a seizure and now even has a concussion. Cops were called to the locker room after the fight, which is weird because cops usually aren’t called after incidents in Penn State locker rooms.

E – Edwards, Braylon. Braylon Edwards has been released by the 49ers at an odd time as San Francisco prepares to wrap up the No. 2 seed in the NFC. When Edwards was in Cleveland, he pledged $10,000 to 100 Cleveland area high school kids for college education. This was a noble deed back when Edwards was making a bunch of money. Quick math tells us that $10,000 x 100 is $1 million. This past season Edwards was only scheduled to make $1 million total with San Francisco. Now that he was released after Week 16 he will make less. There is a very good chance Edwards is now financially crippled by his investment in Cleveland youth. This is kind of like that episode of "The Office" when Michael promises to pay those kids college tuition, but ultimately cannot. Unfortunately, this time it won’t be as funny.

F – Flex. The almighty NFL flexed its muscles and flexed the Cowboys/Giants defacto NFC East championship game to Sunday night at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. This is great news for everyone; great primetime game, more tailgating time, no channel flipping, etc. Well, unless you are Fox, who instead of airing the Cowboys/Giants tilt will be forced to show Tampa Bay/Atlanta to 89 percent of the nation at 4 p.m. Even though it’s Week 17, it’s never too late to buy Sunday Ticket.

G – Goalie goal. Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward was credited with a goal on Monday. Don't bother YouTubing because just like everything else in hockey, it’s not worth watching. The Devils pulled their goalie late in the game and somehow the remaining players on the ice (with an extra attacker) scored on themselves. Ward happened to be the last player to touch the puck for Carolina, so they credited him with the goal.

H – Hot-N-Ready. Ford Field on Tuesday night was the scene of some wild stuff. At the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl there were five turnovers, two onside kicks that actually worked and a 99-yard kickoff return. And that was just the first half. Purdue went on to beat Western Michigan, 37-32, in a circus of a game. Even more amazing than all of that was that 46,177 people actually came out to Ford Field to watch that mess. And even crazier than that is that you couldn’t actually eat Little Caesars Pizza at the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Something called Hungry Howie’s has a contract at Ford Field so there were no Hot-N-Ready’s at Ford Field, just some Hungry Howie’s.

I – Irritated. NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne set off a debate on breastfeeding in public when he tweeted his disgust about seeing a baby going to town on its mom's nipple while at the grocery story. Kahne said he did not feel like shopping or eating after seeing the lactating mom in the supermarket. This instantly set off a giant debate about breastfeeding in public and Kahne took some heat and ultimately he ended up looking like a boob.

J – Justin Bieber. At the Toronto Raptors home opener Justin Bieber was in attendance, but the Raptors decided to appease the fans and not allow him to perform at halftime. Instead, some rapper who is allegedly Canadian, Kardinal Offishall, serenaded the Air Canada Centre. Of course, the Raptors ended up losing the game.

K – Kilimanjaro. Mets knuckle-ball pitcher R.A. Dickey wants to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for charity. The New York Mets don’t want him to and have threatened to void his contract if he should sustain any injuries while climbing. Dickey says he will climb it anyway. Dickey will also be hiking Kilimanjaro with teammates DJ Carrasco and Dave Racaniello, who the Mets apparently do not care about because they have not been told by the Mets to not climb the mountain.

L – Lou Williams. Philadelphia 76er Lou Williams was allegedly held up at gunpoint on Christmas Eve while in his SUV. The would-be robber quickly changed his strategy when he realized who Williams was. The Philadelphia shooting guard was not offended at all by the gun pointed in his face and instead offered to take the gunman to a local fast food restaurant for a meal. I'm not sure if anyone even bothered verifying Williams' story.

M – Mountaineers. Aaric Murray, a 22-year old LaSalle transfer who is currently on the West Virginia basketball team, is sitting out of a year as per NCAA requirements. With his team in Las Vegas for a tournament, Murray was busy getting arrested in his hometown of Philadelphia and charged with possession of marijuana. His teammates managed not to get in trouble in four nights in Vegas, but Murray gets in trouble at home?

N – Nov. 3. The National Championship has not even happened yet but Alabama/LSU III already has a date. The rematch of the rematch is scheduled for Nov. 3 in Baton Rouge.

O – Oscars. Perhaps the biggest line movements that happen in all of betting are on the Oscars odds. With the award show over two month away a few clear-cut favorites have emerged. Bovada has George Clooney listed at 10/13 to win Best Actor for his performance in "The Descendants. Meryl Streep is 11/10 to win Best Actress for "The Iron Lady" and at 5/7 "The Artist" is the favorite to win Best Picture.

P – Philadelphia. According to StubHub sales figures, there is a psychotic maniac on the loose somewhere near Philadelphia. Someone reportedly paid $4499 for a ticket to the Winter Classic, which is just a hockey game for those wondering. The ticket is located in the Hall of Fame Club, Section 224. Hopefully the Hall of Fame Club has TVs so the guy can at least watch some bowl games on ESPN and get some of his money's worth.

Q – Quarterbacks. In no other situation, ever, would people consider Tim Tebow vs. Kyle Orton the must-see quarterback showdown, but the AFC West is not ordinary situation. When the Denver Broncos released quarterback Kyle Orton to save about $2.6 million, they did so because they didn’t want to see him quarterbacking in Denver again.  On Sunday Orton will be doing just that, when he comes to town with the Kansas City Chiefs. Orton is a four-point underdog against his former team and backup, Tim Tebow. A Kansas City win with Orton at quarterback would likely eliminate Denver from the playoffs and cause irreparable harm to the franchise, who somehow allowed their former quarterback to remain in the division. Not that Orton is a world beater, but if Denver wouldn’t have tried to save some money, they could be facing Tyler Palko.

R – Rain or Snow. For those degenerate gamblers who simply cannot bring themselves to bet on something as boring as a hockey game, thanks to Bovada you can now just bet on whether or not it will rain or snow during the Winter Classic game. Bovada has set the odds of precipitation at +250 while no precipitation is -400. FYI: Philadelphia fans throwing beer on the ice does not count as rain.

S – Sarah Jones. Sarah Jones, a Cincinnati high school teacher by day and a Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader by Sunday, abruptly resigned her less important job as a high school teacher because she is the subject of two investigations. Details of those investigations have yet to be revealed to the public, but it’s fun to speculate.

T – Tickets. If the Giants win on Sunday night and get to host a playoff game, there may be no fans able to afford a ticket to it. The average listed ticket price for the Cowboys/Giants Sunday Night clash on the secondary market (i.e. scalpers, ebay and StubHub) is $492.83; that is by far the most expensive NFL ticket of the regular season.

U – UGA. The SEC released its 2012 football schedule this week and apparently Georgia didn’t get one. They are playing some other kind of schedule that somehow does not feature Alabama, LSU, Arkansas or Texas A&M. Georgia fans can start buying their tickets to watch the Bulldogs lose by 30 in the SEC Championship Game right now.

V – Volvo Ocean Race. Unlike in baseball, in the world of sailing people are actually afraid of the Pirates. This week five multimillion-dollar yachts set to take part in the Volvo Ocean Race had to be transported on an armed ship through the Indian Ocean because organizers were wary of piracy along Somalia's coast. This is said to be the first time this has ever happened in the sport of sailing.

W – Winter Classic. There is a chance the Winter Classic might be played in a swimming pool, according to the ‘over/under’ set by Bovada for the temperature of the game on Jan. 2 in Philadelphia. Bovada has set the total at 43 degrees Fahrenheit, which is above freezing. Of course, the rink will be cooled by refrigerated piping. However, at this rate and if Al Gore is correct, the 2015 Winter Classic will actually be a Water Polo exhibition, which will probably have better ratings than an NHL game.

X – XXVIII. For those few people who still claim that professional wrestling is scripted and not real, how do you explain 5Dimes posting odds on Wrestlemania XXVIII. In arguably the greatest idea since betting on sports, you can now bet on the main event of Wrestlemania XXVIII on April 1 in Sun Life Stadium, and this is not an April Fool's Joke. The main event is The Rock vs. John Cena. The Rock (-150) is favored to win the initial ruling while John Cena is favored to win the end of broadcast ruling (-190). Looking at those odds basically gives away the ending, the Rock pins Cena, controversy ensues, a restart is scheduled and Cena wins that one. Maybe wrestling is scripted after all.

Y – Yardage record. Drew Brees broke Dan Marino's single-season passing yard record of 5,084 yards. Brees capped Week 16 by running up the score on Atlanta and finishing with 307 yards on the game and 5,087 on the season. Fittingly, the record was broken in garbage time of a blowout game against a horrible NFC South defense.

Z – Zone. FYI, TMZ stands for 30-mile zone, the studio zone between the intersection of West Beverly Boulevard and North la Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles. Whatever it stands for, the celebrity gossip Web site is also the place where Deion Sanders' wife says she found out that Primetime was divorcing her. Pilar Sanders had been married to “Neon” Deion for over 12 years, so you can imagine her shock when she logged onto TMZ this week.
