Springs also has a 21-year-old daughter, Ayra, soon to graduate Oklahoma State and Ashley, a high school senior. Because diabetes is hereditary, he worries they eventually will be afflicted.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -The Rams' string of 95 consecutive regular-season sellouts may be about to end, and even if the remaining 3,000 seats for the home finale against the Washington Redskins sell, the game will be blacked out on local television. A blackout hasn't happened since the Rams moved to Missouri in 1995. The game was less than a stellar draw; it comes at the end of another disappointing season, against a weak opponent, on Christmas Eve. The Rams (6-8) are extreme longshots to make the playoffs and the |

Rams strong safety Corey Chavous said his teammate deserves better than a shot to prove the voters got it wrong when they chose Julius Peppers of Carolina, Will Smith of New Orleans and Aaron Kampman of Green Bay. ``This guy was arguably |

The Saints sewed up a playoff home game despite a 16-10 loss to the seemingly non-threatening Washington Redskins at the Superdome, because fellow NFC South members Atlanta and Carolina were also beaten over the weekend. And while New Orleans can take great pride in its unforeseen and dramatic turnaround from last year's miserable three-win campaign, the club's |

| (MySportsbook) - The Washington Redskins are in spoiler mode right now, a role in which they thrived during Sunday's upset of the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome. The Saints still earned a playoffs berth thanks to a Carolina loss, but Washington did what it had to do to secure the upset victory. The Redskins shut down the best offense in the NFL with a suffocating defense and a well- balanced offensive attack in a 16-10 victor that improved the team to 5-9 in advance of a concluding two-game stretch with th |

The Saints, who came in with top-ranked offense in the league, managed only 10 points against the underdog Washington Redskins and were held to under 300 yards on offense for the first time this season in a 16-10 defeat. New Orleans (9-5) clinched the NFC South anyway because of losses by Atlanta and Carolina, the only teams with a chance to catch the Saints going into th |

Despite the loss, New Orleans clinched the NFC South with Atlanta's loss on Saturday and Carolina's loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. However, the setback did allow Chicago to clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Campbell completed 13-of-28 passes without an interception, while Ladell Betts rushed 22 times for 119 yards for t |
