Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning surpassed Dan Marino (48, 1983) Sunday for the most touchdown passes in a season with 49 and led his team to a come-from-behind 34-31 overtime win against San Diego to solidify the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs. Manning completed 27 of 44 passes (61.4 percent) for 383 yards with two touchdowns against one interception.

The Colts trailed by eight points with 3:42 left in regulation when Manning and the NFL's No. 1-ranked offense took possession on its own 20-yard line. On the game-tying drive, the seven-year pro completed six of eight passes for 85 yards, including a 19-yard strike on fourth-and-4 from the Indianapolis 26-yard line, which culminated in his record-breaking 49th TD pass of the season -- a 21-yard completion to Brandon Stokley.

Indianapolis was successful on its two-point conversion try and won the game on a 30-yard field goal two minutes into the extra session.

D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams signed into law a financing package for a new baseball stadium along the Anacostia waterfront in Southeast today, calling it "one of my proudest days as mayor."

The legislation, which was approved narrowly by the D.C. Council last week, authorizes the administration to issue up to $534.8 million in bonds to pay for the ballpark, as well as renovations to Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. The Washington Nationals will play at RFK for three season, starting April 14, and then move to the new stadium in 2008.

"It's a great day in our city," Williams said. "This baseball park is good for the city. Maybe I could have done a few things differently, but I never regretted what I did. It's not good just for the psychology of the city, but it's good for the city economically. I really, really believe that."

The Randy Johnson to the New York Yankees saga might be over before the new year.

According the New York Daily News, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Yankees were getting closer to finalizing a deal for the left-hander on Tuesday night. The paper also reported that Johnson informed some of his Arizona teammates that he was going to New York.

According to sources, there are two proposals on the table to make the deal happen, and they both include Yankees starter Javier Vazquez

The first proposal reportedly includes Vazquez and lower level prospects Brad Halsey, Melky Cabrera and Abel Gomez along with $12-million dollars to make up part of thecontractual differences between Johnson and Vazquez

The second proposal includes Vazquez along with higher rated prospects Dioner Navarro and Eric Duncan. The cash moving with this offer would only be around $5-million.

Once a deal is worked out, the Yankees will then look to sign 'The Big Unit' to a contract extension. Sources told the paper that the Yankees are willing to sign the 41 year old to a two-year extension at $16-million per season.

To understand the hype leading up to the January 4th Orange Bowl matchup in Miami between #1 ranked USC and #2 ranked Oklahoma, it will help to answer the following questions:

When else have two Heisman Trophy winners played against each other as collegians?

Answer: Never. When Matt Leinart and Jason White hook up in Pro Player Stadium, history will be made.

When else have 80 percent of the top five Heisman vote getters convened on the same field?

Answer: Never. Between Leinart, White, Reggie Bush and Adrian Peterson, there are more marquee names than in "Ocean's Twelve."

When was the last time two coaches who already own national titles met in a de facto championship bowl game?

Answer: Nineteen years ago, when Barry Switzer and Oklahoma defeated Joe Paterno and Penn State in the Orange Bowl. Pete Carroll and Bob Stoops haven't been in their current positions for long, but they haven't wasted any time winning titles, either.

When else have two teams gone the entire season ranked 1-2 in every poll, then met in a bowl game?

Answer: Never. This was the game everyone wanted to see in August, and it's the game everyone is going to see in January.

Tune in January 4th to see who emerges victorious in this modern day clash of the titans!
