It was early in the fourth quarter, and last Sunday&#39;s game against Washington was still in reach if only the Detroit Lions could make a move.

A defense so porous the 40-year old quarterback completed all except five of his 24 pass attempts against the bad Lions. And so it went as the game and the opportunities slipped away.

Don&#39;t ask; even the Detroit Lions can&#39;t figure themselves out. They&#39;re down one week, up the next. They&#39;re atrocious at home, unbeatable on the road.

DETROIT--Only the Lions. Only the Lions could generate fresh hope out of a crushing conclusion. Only the Lions could depart from playoff contention just as their embattled quarterback arrived, sort of.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan  - As Europe's  top-ranked golfer, Padraig Harrington might well have expected  the sight of autograph seekers as he went through his first  Ryder Cup practice round on Tuesday.
