The Giants clinched home-field advantage with a huge 34-28 OT win over the Panthers. The G-men rushed for a whopping 301 yards, including 215 by Derrick Ward.

As for the Jets ... well, I think I made my feelings on their 13-3 loss to the Seahawks known in the video portion of the post below. Turns out the players are also questioning Mangini. And I'm not the only one who thinks he should be shown the door. Now, for the Jets to make the playoffs, they need a win against Chad Pennington and the Dolphins Sunday, plus a Buffalo win over New England or a Jacksonville win over Baltimore.

The Knicks lost to the Celtics, 124-105. Boston tied a franchise record with its 18th-straight win and tied an NBA record for best start by a team with two losses (26-2).

The Devils beat the Flyers, 3-2 in a shootout. That's now three straight wins for Jersey.

No Holiday Festival win for St. John's ... Virginia Tech topped the Red Storm, 81-67 in the championship game in front of -- ready for this -- just 2,043 fans at the Garden.
