10.06.11 The game plan

October 6, 2011 at 1:19AM

THE BUZZ Dallas-Fort Worth was named the Sporting News' best sports city for 2011. Boston was No. 2. The Twin Cities were 14th. Green Bay was 33rd. This is not a misprint.

REMOTE PATROL ALDS Game 5 between the Tigers and Yankees. Doug Fister vs. Ivan Nova, just as nobody would have guessed at the start of the year. 7 p.m., TBS.

Click pick QB Michael Vick told his team's website, PhiladelphiaEagles.com, that " the dream team thing is over." Yeah, at 1-3 that's a pretty safe assessment.

STAR GAZING Spurs star guard Tony Parker will play professionally in France for $1,995 a month during the NBA lockout. His expected debut is barely a week away.

FAST FACT The 1985 Super Bowl-winning Chicago Bears never visited the White House. That oversight will be rectified Friday when team members make the trip.
