Ad It Coming
With four defeats in five games, the Washington Capitals could do without losing star forward Alex Ovechkin. Luckily for them he's escaped any further suspension after he sent Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta into some advertising boards. "I just go, take the hit and he just fell into the boards," Ovechkin said about the controversial bodycheck. Can Washington Cap off a good week with a win over Montreal?

Court Out!
Knowing a thing or two about trying to do something clever, but ending up looking very silly/stupid... ehem... Tiger Woods US Open Payout and err... the majority of homepage stories, we've a little bit of sympathy for tonight's star of our Only in America Bit. A Kansas defence attorney who wanted to illustrate to jurors the meaning of an "imminent threat" pulled out a hand grenade in court, pulled the pin, and put it down on the prosecutor's table. Turns out the grenade was a dud. His client was a woman accused of forgery and theft who claimed a co-defendant had threatened to kill her dog and harm her daughter if she didn't take part in the scheme. With a grenade???

Everton v Liverpool Betting
Share And Share Alike
Probably because it was a slow news day at Sky Sports News, speculation during the week suggested that Bill Kenwright, George Gillett and Tom Hicks were going shopping for curtains, conveniently a few days before Everton and Liverpool meet in the Merseyside derby. Both sets of supporters have effectively dismissed the idea of a ground-share on the basis that they wouldn't share a taxi, let alone a stadium... which is surprising because they share the Chuckle Brothers and The Beatles. It didn't do Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau any harm. Anyhoo, both sides enter the clash on the back of some disastrous results. Whoever wins will get a much needed shot in the arm. Who'll get the lion's share in the derby? Sun 1.30pm SS1

Taking the Leed!
If any club had the right to challenge Newcastle Utd for the title of Comedy Club of the Year, it is Kettering Town. New manager Lee Harper has a tough job on his hands with a depleted squad due to injury, players wanting to leave, a dip in form and a chairman warning they could be out of business next week. Did we mention they're facing League one pace setters Leeds Utd in the FA Cup as well? It hasn't been the most pleasant of introductions to management, but Harper reckons the Poppies shouldn't fear Leeds. "[The players] must go out and enjoy the day and don't be overawed by the occasion because although they're Leeds United they're only human beings." We don't want to Harp on about it, but Leeds look a great bet – 1 goal @ 6/5!! Sun 1.45pm ITV1

Mour Than Expected
Pigs haven't been seen flying over the San Siro, but don't be surprised to hear reports to the contrary in the next few days. Having been sent back to Italy with his tail between his legs, Inter Milan quote machine and manager Jose Mourinho admitted Barcelona were the better side in their Champions League encounter. Someone was better than a Jose Mourinho-managed team, not possible. "Barcelona are a better team than we are. They deserved the win," the Special One said, sparking fears the Portuguese chief was ill. The 2 – 0 defeat wasn't his fault though, "If anyone thinks we are at the same level as Barca are, they are mistaken. A team has to be aware of its limits."

La Liga Betting
It's In The Game!
Ahead of El Clasico, it's been suggested French bench-warmer Karim Benzema might get the nod ahead of Higuain for the clash at the Camp Nou. Since his arrival at the Bernabeu, the striker has been used sparingly, but after three goals in nine appearances he's in line for a start in 'El derbi'. That or his skills on a certain Sony games console may have impressed manager Manuel Pellegrini. The Real Madrid player beat Barcelona's Xavi Hernandez by a scoreline of 3-0 this week, albeit in a game of Fifa 10 on the Playstation 3. "Although it was just a video game, I would love for the outcome to be same on the pitch," the 21 year old said, before hitting X, O, Up, Down, X to celebrate with a back-flip. Will they win in Real life? Sun 6pm SS1 - La Liga Matches

Everybody's Favre-rite!
At the risk of sounding a little ageist, Brett Favre should be out playing golf followed by a night in with his slippers, pipe and a nice cup of tea. The 40 year old though, has proved all his critics wrong by leading Minnesota to nine victories this season. His displays have come in for high praise and with the Chicago Bears in poor form, the former Green Bay Packer will probably lead them to a tenth victory. "There's nothing he can do to surprise anybody anymore," Minnesota center John Sullivan said, before getting his nose a little brown. "He's a great player. We know that as long as we protect him the receivers, they're all going to make plays." The Vikings are worthy Favre-rites against the Bears, but will they cover the - 10.5 point Handicap?
