Chris Christie denied high-five from Jerry Jones after Cowboys win (VIDEO)

Just seeing Chris Christie in the owner's box with Jerry Jones during the Cowboys' victory over the Lions was enough to make Giants, Jets and Eagles fans gag but, seeing the portly New Jersey Guv hugging it out with the Dallas owner after the win also lost him some votes in Michigan as well.

Cameras caught the lifelong Cowboys fan left hanging by Jones — who ignored Christie's flailing hand — before finally settling for an awkward hug after Sunday's game.



I don't how many electoral votes New Jersey, Michigan and half of Pennsylvania has but Christie might want to rethink that presidential run.



There was no immediate word if Christie would be in Green Bay next Sunday for the Cowboys-Packers game. But if he’s there, he'll be wearing his good luck orange sweater.

Capitals' Braden Holtby loses puck in his pads (VIDEO)

Braden Holtby did a little magic trick during the Capitals’ 4-3 win Sunday over the Panthers by making the puck disappear.

Only problem was that the Washington goalie lost it in his pads.



Early in the third period, Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad launched a shot from above the left circle and Holtby caught it inside his layers of padding.



After a short delay — and an awkward pat-down by his teammates — Holtby finally laid a little black egg on the ice.

A-Rod post photos of himself in batting cage (PHOTO)

Alex Rodriguez took to Instagram this weekend and posted a couple of photos of his favorite subject at work — himself.



The disgraced Yankees third baseman, coming off a yearlong suspension because of his links to the Biogenisis performance enhancing drug scandal, posted a pair of pictures of him taking a few cuts in a batting cage.

“Starting the year in the cage,” was the caption that accompanied the photos.

And the soon-to-be 40 A-Rod might want to concentrate more on his swing than glove when he hits spring training in a few weeks. Since the Yankees have re-signed Chase Headley to be the everyday third baseman, it looks as though Rodriguez will likely be used primarily as a designated hitter.

St. Bonaventure coach crashes scooter in handshake line (VIDEO)


St. Bonaventure head coach Mark Schmidt tore his Achilles a few weeks ago, and he's come to depend on a three-wheel scooter to keep him mobile during games.

After a 69-55 win over the Massachusetts Minutemen on Saturday night, Schmidt made his way down the sideline to shake the hands of the opponents until he lost his balance and took a spill.



The Bonnies coach wasn't hurt but, I'm guessing that upgrade to a Big Wheel will have to wait.

German soccer team moves players after finding out hotel booked 400 Russian models: Report

A German soccer team had to change plans for their warm-weather training camp in Turkey — after finding themselves booked in the same hotel as 400 Russian models.

MSV Duisburg was forced to alter their winter break at Turkey's Antalya resort because the hotel had doubled booked a beauty contest.

And we all know how much European soccer players hate mingling with supermodels.


A statement released by Duisburg with a smiley face on their official website said: "We want to calmly prepare for the spring series. MSV team manager Michael Meier has therefore rescheduled."

To avoid any distractions, the players will now stay at the Royal Holiday Palace between January 8 and 16 instead of the Hotel Royal Wings following the mix-up, just down the road from the hundreds of models.

Of course you might remember that time a Belgian soccer team shared their practice facilities with a group of lingerie models. If you don't, here's the VIDEO.


Jameis Winston's 'Stumblefumble' memes flood Internet (PHOTOS)

Jameis Winston's awkward third-quarter fumble against Oregon in the Rose Bowl is being called the most hilarious turnover since Mark Sanchez's Buttfumble.



The 'Stumblefumble' not only helped power the Ducks to a 59-20 rout of Florida State, but the phantom hit and fall also opened the floodgates of Internet memes faster than you can say crab legs.



And, like the memes at #StumbleFumble, the "hits" kept coming:

Joe Montana puts Heisman winners in their place (VIDEO)

Although Joe Montana was never really considered in Heisman Trophy voting in either of his final two years at Notre Dame, he has what Heisman winners Bo Jackson, Doug Flutie, Herschel Walker  never got — Super Bowl rings. Four of them.

Throw in a 1977 National Championship and you've got a lot of bling.


The former Fighting Irish quarterback seems to have gotten over his lack of a Heisman in this hilarious AT&T commercial by showing off his impressive jewelry collection  —  four Super Bowl rings and a 1977 national title ring — to the three slienced former college stars.


Yup. Rings beat trophies any day.
