1/03/1984 - Malone hits crazy three

A rookie guard for the Washington Bullets makes one of the craziest shots in NBA history. With just a few seconds remaining in a game between the Detroit Pistons and the Washington Bullets, Darren Daye rebounded the second of two free throw misses by John Long. Without calling a timeout, Daye whipped the ball to the front court, just past the outstretched arms of Jeff Malone.

Malone caught up with the ball in the far left corner of the court, just before it hit the endline. With the clock running down, Malone released the ball as he was fading out of bounds. His arching three-point shot somehow found the bottom of the net, giving the Bullets a miraculous 103-102 victory. (There was still time left on the clock, but on the Pistons' next possession, Bill Laimbeer released his would-be game-winning shot too late, and the Bullets survived.)

"It looked like the game was over, but that was one of the most incredible shots I've ever seen as far as game-winning shots are concerned," said Bullets coach Gene Shue.

"It felt good when it left my hand," Malone said. "It just went in. I didn't see it."

Malone played 13 years in the NBA, and though he wasn't as good as the other players in his namesake -- Karl Malone and Moses Malone -- he was a terrific scorer nonetheless. He finished his career averaging 19 points per game, with six seasons averaging at least 20, while shooting 87.1% from the foul line. Oddly enough, Jeff did play alongside the other two Malones during his career: with Moses when he was in Washington and with Karl when he played with the Utah Jazz.

1/03/1993 - Bills make up 32-point deficit

The Buffalo Bills were completely dead in the water. With 28 minutes left in their divisional round playoff game, the New York teams was getting annihilated by the Houston Oilers, a team they had lost to not a week earlier. And yet when it was all said and done, it was the team without its top two players that wound up winning the game.

1/03/2005 - The Angels change their name

The Anaheim Angels announce that they have officially changed their team name to the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim."

The seemingly-absurd name was a clever solution by owner Arte Moreno to have the team identified as the "Los Angeles Angels." As soon as he had become the Angels owner, Moreno immediately petitioned to have them identified as that. However, in order for the Angels to play in Anaheim, the team was contractually obligated to have "Anaheim" somewhere in the title (which was fair, considering they played there after all).

The city of Anaheim sued them to return to the "Anaheim Angels." However, because of the suffix "-of Anaheim," the Angels had not violated the terms and won the suit. Moreno's strategy worked as TBS, FOX and ESPN -- the three networks that nationally televised baseball games -- began to refer to them as "Los Angeles" instead of "Los Angeles of Anaheim." However, their name became somewhat of a running joke among sports writers, who often referred to them as the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Orange County of California of America of Earth," or things of that nature.

It was not the first time the team had undergone a name change. When the franchise initially began play in 1961, they had started out as the "Los Angeles Angels" and played at Los Angeles' Wrigley Field, which had actually been named after William Wrigley Jr. before the one in Chicago. In 1965 they became the California Angels, and in 1997 they became the Anaheim Angels.

After weeks of denying that he had any inclination to take over Alabama's football program, Nick Saban does just that. The one problem: he was already the coach of the Miami Dolphins.
