Herald Sports

Football

Saints 34, Falcons 14: With Reggie Bush on the sidelines and apparently out for the season, Drew Brees passed for 328 yards and three touchdowns.
The Saints kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 6-7 record.
To add insult to injury Atlanta found out that quarterback Michael Vick will spend 23 months in federal prison on dogfighting charges.
Atlanta’s Chris Redman, the third quarterback used by the Falcons (3-10) in place of Vick, threw for a career-best 298 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Bears to Go With Orton: Purdue graduate Kyle Orton, who started 15 games as a rookie in 2005, will get another chance for the Bears.
The fourth-round draft choice, who has a 10-5 record as a starter, hasn’t thrown a regular-season pass since January 1, 2006.
The Bears also placed defensive tackles Anthony Adams and Antonio Garay on injured reserve. Adams injured his elbow eight days ago in a game against the Giants. Garay suffered a ankle injury Thursday night at Washington.

Politics

Norris Endorses Huckabee: Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has rocketed in the polls since being endorsed by former martial arts champion and actor Chuck Norris.
Unsubstantiated Rumor: Huckabee’s new slogan is “Vote for Huck or deal with Chuck.”
