SPECIAL HIGHLIGHTSMini Dynasty Gators beat Sooners for BCS title By Mark Humphrey (AP) Tim Tebow enjoyed the battering-ram runs. He liked the old-school jump pass.

The governor seemed to acknowledge the inevitable when he issued a statement Thursday night that looked past the House vote and predicted a different outcome in the subsequent Senate trial. His statement criticized the hearings leading up to the House vote as unfair and biased. Read More...
