Oregon Duck does The Dougie
We first saw Braylon Edwards celebrate touchdown passes early this season with The Dougie. Now Oregon's mascot pulls it off on Saturday against Stanford. There aren't many things I enjoy more than a good mascot dance.

Weekend highlights
Calvin Johnson and LaMichael James were two of the most talked about highlights this weekend. Johnson, a Detroit wide receiver, for his disallowed touchdown, and James, an Oregon running back, for his jaw-dropping score in a rout at Tennessee.
In Detroit's near-win over Chicago, Johnson appeared to catch a 25-yard go-ahead touchdown. But after what initially looked to be a TD, the referee announced that Johnson didn't "complete the catch during the process of the catch." Put simply, Johnson shouldn't have let the ball touch the ground. Even though he got both feet in bounds and landed with the ball, the fact that the ball touched the ground as he landed prevented the completion.
Here, James reverses course, then somehow manages to stay in bounds, and wiggle out of the grasp of a would-be tackler. No matter what happens the rest of the season, this will be one of the great rushing touchdowns of 2010.
