The Dolphins are 4-1 on Thanksgiving, beating the St. Louis Cardinals in 1977, and knocking off the Dallas Cowboys in 1973, 1993 and 2003. They also lost to Dallas in 1999. Detroit has had a tough season in Rod Marinelli's first year at the helm. The Lions are a dismal 2-8 after a 17-10 loss to fellow 2-8 Arizona this past Sunday. The Dolphins are 6-2 all-time a |

Rumblings about Bryant's testy, prickly nature have followed the Miami native since his days at Pittsburgh, where he won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top college receiver. He infamously blew up at Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells at a preseason practice in 2004, throwing a sweaty jersey at him during an argument. He took anger management classes and was traded to Cleveland a few months later. Last year with the Browns, he set career highs of 69 cat |

He regressed somewhat after an outstanding performance in a win over T.O. and the Dallas Cowboys, throwing two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns by Ronde Barber in a last-second loss at Tampa. Still, McNabb was the heart and soul of Philly's potent offense. Now, he can only watch from the sideline and prepare for yet another com |
