Natl. Sports Headllines for Monday, Oct. 31st:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia Eagles scored touchdowns on
their first three possessions en route to their 34-7 shellacking of
Dallas last night. The victory improves to Eagles to 3-4 and makes
coach Andy Reid 13-0 in games following a bye week.
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Chris Carpenter, Tony La Russa and the World
Series champion Cardinals drew huge cheers yesterday at the NFL
game between the St. Louis Rams and New Orleans Saints. They might
have fired up the Rams, who were two-touchdown underdogs before
knocking off the NFC South-leading Saints 31-21 for their first
victory of the NFL season.
TORONTO (AP) - The surprising Buffalo Bills improved to 5-2 by
blanking the hapless Washington Redskins 23-0. The Bills defense
sacked Washington QB John Beck nine times as the Bills shut out a
Mike Shanahan-coached team for the first time in his 267-game NFL
head coaching career.
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) - Tony Stewart passed Jimmie Johnson on a
restart with three laps to go and surged into contention for his
third NASCAR Sprint Cup championship with three races left in the
Chase for the championship. The victory was the third for Stewart
in the first seven races of the 10-race playoff as he moved to
within eight points of series leader Carl Edwards.
NEW YORK (AP) - A person familiar with the negotiations says the
Yankees have made a contract offer to ace CC Sabathia, who has
until today to decide whether to opt out of the $92 million and
four years remaining on his current deal. If the 31-year-old
Sabathia opts out, he would become the top pitcher on the
free-agent market.
