1930–Golfer Bobby Jones wins the first James E. Sullivan Award.
1940–Joe Louis knocks out Al McCoy in the sixth round at the Boston Garden to retain the world heavyweight title.
1945–The Cleveland Rams beat the Washington Redskins 15-14 for the NFL championship. The deciding play turns out to be a first-quarter automatic safety when the Redskins' Sammy Baugh passes from his own end zone and the wind carries the ball into the goal post.
1967–Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors scores 68 points in a 143-123 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
1990–Warren Moon passes for a 527 yards–the second-greatest passing day in NFL history–as the Houston Oilers beat Kansas City 27-10.
2003–New Orleans Saints receiver Joe Horn is fined $30,000 by the NFL for making a choreographed cell-phone call in the end zone to celebrate a touchdown during the Saints' 45-7 rout of the New York Giants on Dec. 14.
2007–New England becomes the second team in NFL history to go 14-0, beating the New York Jets 20-10 and clinching home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
2007–Brett Favre passes for 227 yards in Green Bay's 33-14 win over St. Louis, eclipsing Dan Marino to become the NFL career leader in yards passing. Favre, in his 17th season, finishes the game with 61,405 yards. Marino had 61,361 in 17 seasons.
2007–Kikkan Randall becomes the first U.S. woman and second American to win a World Cup cross country race when she defeats world sprint champion Astrid Jacobsen of Norway in the final meters of a 1.2-kilometer freestyle. Randall is the first American to win a World Cup cross country race since Bill Koch in 1983. She finishes in 2:48.7–0.7 seconds ahead of Jacobsen.
2010–American Ryan Lochte sets the first individual swimming world record since high-tech bodysuits were banned, winning the 400-meter individual medley at the short-course world championships in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Lochte finishes the race in 3:55.50, smashing the previous record set by Laszlo Cseh of Hungary a year ago by nearly 2 seconds.
2012–Ryan Lochte wins two more races at the short-course world championships in Istanbul, finishing the event with six golds and one silver. The result matches his medal total from the last championships, in Dubai in 2010.
2012–New England loses for the first time at home in December in 21 games, falling 41-34 to San Francisco. Tom Brady has a career high 65 pass attempts, completing 36, for 443 yards and a touchdown to lead the Patriots from a 31-3 deficit to tie the game at 31-all. But the Patriots also have a season-high four turnovers, including two interceptions by Brady. Wes Welker of the Patriots has five catches to reach 100 this season, the fifth time in his career he hits that number, an NFL record.
