The following is a partial transcript of the January 11, 2009 episode of the BC Sports Treehouse Fort.
Tuffy: The Arizona Cardinals took the ball away from the Carolina Panthers six times in a 33-13 win in Charlotte Saturday to lift the unlikely birds into the NFC Championship Game. Considering the number of thefts this week and last, we recommend calling this version of the Arizona franchise the Crows. Also, we recommend renaming the Panthers to the Carolina "What-the-Hell-Was-That-Jake"s.
Suss: The BCS National Championship took place Thursday, with the Florida Gators beating the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14 for their second BCS title in three years. When handed the crystal football trophy, Gators quarterback Tim Tebow, out of habit, surgically removed the top part of it.
Tuffy: Adam "Pacman" Jones has been released by the Dallas Cowboys for his numerous off-field incidents but told CBS' James Brown that he thought he could possibly return to Dallas next season as a member of the 'Boys. However, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will likely suspend Jones again for his latest transgression, as he has clearly enhanced his performance by using the "God" code on the NFL. That's the only possible explanation why his story simple will not die.
Suss: The GMAC Bowl was played on Tuesday, with Tulsa beating Ball State 45-13. In spirit of the game being played between the national championship and the Fiesta Bowl, GMAC lowered their rates to 0 percent interest.
Tuffy: Milton Bradley took a three-year, $30m deal to guard the ivy at Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs. Bradley has already been warned not to climb into the stands and offer beatdowns to "that ****ing guy that threw that home-run ball back at me when I had nothing to do with it anyway, ***hole".
Suss: Former Denver Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski announced his desire to coach the Broncos, who recently fired Mike Shanahan. Romanowski would be an ideal candidate, considering he cannot win a Super Bowl without John Elway. Another positive for him is that he runs a nutrition company and could help provide quarterback Jay Cutler what he calls "better insulin."
Tuffy: The Boston Celtics have fallen hard from their lofty 29-2 perch by going 2-7 since, starting with their loss to the Lakers on Christmas Day. When asked for the cause of the reversal of fortune, Kevin Garnett shrugged weakly and said, "I don't know. Everything seemed to be going well that day. Phil Jackson even gave Paul, Ray, and me these huge chain necklaces with glowing green rocks in them for Christmas. Like, you know, Celtics colors. That was awfully nice of him." Meanwhile, Phil Jackson, Tex Winter, and Jeanie Buss cackle from their underground fortress in an abandoned subway station in Metropolis.

Bill Romanowski can't win a Super Bowl without Elway? He did pretty well for the 49ers. Played in five, won four. Funny Cutler quip.
