11.29.11 The game plan

November 29, 2011 at 4:53AM

THE BUZZ Do you feel worse for Percy Harvin or fantasy football owners who got zero points for his 100-plus yard return on Sunday? (OK, sorry, the answer is Harvin).

REMOTE PATROL If you're depressed by the Trevor Mbakwe news, don't take it out on college hoops. There's a great game tonight: Duke vs. Ohio State (8:30, ESPN).

Click pick Tweet from @xmasape: "Jon Gruden already called Brees the Surgeon ... (and) The Conductor. Everyone is unemployed because Drew Brees has all the jobs."

STAR GAZING When was the last time a head coach was fired shortly before a game with a Rose Bowl berth on the line? Such is the UCLA/Rick Neuheisel story.

FAST FACT The Red Sox reportedly have narrowed their managerial search to Bobby Valentine or Gene Lamont. They must not have heard about the new millennium.
