STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky was taken to a Pennsylvania county jail after he was unable to post $250,000 cash bail. The former Penn State assistant coach was jailed yesterday after a brief court hearing. Sandusky faces new charges based on the testimony of two new accusers, including one who claims Sandusky molested him numerous times in a basement bedroom at Sandusky's home.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Claude Giroux scored 2:27 into overtime for the Philadelphia Flyers, who overcame a three-goal, first-period deficit and beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-4 last night. Rookie Matt Read, Scott Hartnell, and Jaromir Jagr scored in the second period, and Maxime Talbot added goals for Philadelphia, which led 4-3 in the third.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby will miss the next two games as a precaution after he collided with teammate Chris Kunitz in Monday night's loss to Boston. General manager Ray Shero said yesterday the former MVP wasn't "feeling 100 percent" after running into Kunitz in the third period.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Until the Philadelphia Eagles are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, they won't look toward the future or reflect on the past. The underachieving Eagles head to Miami on Sunday, and playing the Dolphins is all they're talking about.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Langston Galloway scored a career-high 30 points to lead Saint Joseph's to a 75-68 win over Boston University last night. Galloway shot 9 for 14 from the field, while making a career-best 6 of 8 3-pointers. His last one came with 2:11 to play after BU had cut the deficit to 66-61. The Hawks closed out the game 6 for 11 from the foul line.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Aaron Brown came off the bench to lead all scorers with 19 points as Temple posted a 77-58 win over Toledo last night, snapping the Rockets' six-game winning streak. The Owls never trailed and opened up an 18-point lead at 30-12 midway through the first half.
