Glendale (4-1, 2-1) scored a touchdown with less than two minutes to play but Snow recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock from there.

Cooper was 22-of-32 for 210 yards and two touchdowns for Snow. Matt Asiata ran for 130 yards and a touchdown and former Orem standout Gavin Jones had a big interception that killed a Glendale drive.

Tackle ejected for stomping on lineman's head

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was ejected early in the third quarter Sunday after he kicked Dallas center Andre Gurode in the face. Now the tackle expects to be punished and knows he deserves it.

"What I did out there was disgusting," Haynesworth said. "It doesn't matter what the league does to me. The way I feel right now, you just can't describe it."

Julius Jones had just scored on a 5-yard run, putting Dallas up 20-6 in what wound up as a 45-14 victory. Gurode's helmet came off, and Haynesworth, standing over him, used his right foot to kick Gurode in the head.

Gurode said they hadn't been talking or having any exchanges that led to Haynesworth kicking him twice. He received stitches above his forehead and beneath his eye.

"In all my years of football, this has never happened to me. I've never been kicked in the face like this, and I've never seen anybody kick nobody else in the face," Gurode said.

A flag was thrown, and Haynesworth followed an official toward the Titans' sideline, protesting.

Haynesworth pulled off his helmet and slammed it to the ground, prompting another flag. Referee Jerome Boger disqualified Haynesworth, and the player walked off the field after talking briefly with Titans coach Jeff Fisher.

The coach called Haynesworth's actions unacceptable and promised he would be punished by the Titans even if the NFL disciplines him.

Lions' Davis taken off field on stretcher: At St. Louis, Detroit Lions guard Frank Davis was taken off the field on a truck after he injured his neck on the opening kickoff of the second half in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams. Coach Rod Marinelli said the injury did not appear to be serious.

Alou would like to stay in baseball in 2007

SAN FRANCISCO -- Felipe Alou would like to stay in baseball after this season, even if he is no longer a manager for the San Francisco Giants or another club.

The Giants are expected to announce as soon as Monday that Alou, whose contract is up, won't return for a fifth season as skipper after the team missed the playoffs for a third straight year.

"I know I will get offers," Alou said before Sunday's season finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I don't know if I will get managerial offers. I believe I would consider some of those offers."

The 71-year-old Alou met with general manager Brian Sabean on Saturday night, though Alou said they spoke about more than just baseball.

Alou said his top choice likely would be to remain part of the Giants organization -- but not just as someone with a title who isn't involved in the day-to-day operations of the club. He was set to leave San Francisco on Sunday night and return home to Florida and then the Dominican Republic.

Baker: 'I just wish we could have gotten it done': At Chicago, Dusty Baker and his son Darren walked to the corner of Wrigley Field to play some catch on a perfect 70-degree day, with the sun shining and another baseball season near its end.

And as the manager of the Chicago Cubs returned to the dugout Sunday on what was likely his final day on the job, Baker stopped and signed autographs for 10 minutes for hundreds of fans near the tarp along the left field line.
