What a start to the final day of the Evolution Championship Series.Mortal Kombat XL started with a dominating performance by Critical Reactions Dominique SonicFox McLean. His quick work on opponents fueled the idea that everyone else was just fighting for second place. But the audience and SonicFox learned quickly that he was not infallible.SonicFox began his title defense in typical commanding fashion with a 3-0 series win over Orbits Alexandre MTL Hayatei Dubé-Bilodeau. After his first victim, he cakewalked into the grand finals with yet another 3-0 series victory against PLGs Sayed Tekken Master hashim Ahmed. Unfazed by the pressure of the situation, he delivered some of the most lopsided moments of this Evo tournament.It wasnt until the second game of the grand finals that SonicFox suffered his first game loss. But, from then on, the audience was exposed to just how human this overshadowing force was. He removed his blue ears and showed unfiltered emotion as he took on the greatest challenge of his career. It wasnt until he finished off the final game in his signature overwhelming SonicFox style that he returned to his cocky, permanently smiling self.The contenders: Scar and Tekken MasterIf SonicFox was the easy favorite for the tournament, Panda Globals Brad Scar Vaughn was considered the second-best to play in the top eight bracket. His understanding of Sonya Blade in his signature demolition variation could only be described as expert. From offensive and defensive traps to near full screen conversions, he provided the audience with the comeback moments that make Mortal Kombat so exciting to watch at high level. Unfortunately for him, Tekken Master was the roadblock. In fact, he was the star of the show.Tekken Master needed all the composure in the world to enter the grand finals of Mortal Kombat. He had been sent to the losers bracket by SonicFox in demoralizing fashion and then nearly choked on a 2-0 lead over Scar in the losers finals. His confidence never wavered, even when he switched to DVorah from his comfort pick of Kotal Kahn. The perennial underdog proved his bite was just as dangerous as his bark.The grand finals: SonicFoxs limitIt was all Tekken Master and Kotal Kahn. His decision to ignore the projectiles and traps that SonicFox threw at him with Cassie Cage and Erron Black was absolutely key to the entire first set of the grand finals. Showing no concern for his opponents offensive game plan, Tekken Master dominated the offensive momentum and neutral game. He absolutely drowned SonicFox for the bracket reset.The second set started exactly the way Tekken Master began the first final set: armor through faulty block strings, conversions off trades, ignorance of traps, and unrelenting pressure. But, finally, SonicFox showed up. He returned to his fearless and stubborn ways by fighting at his own pace. With the set tied at 2-2, SonicFox brought out his secret weapon and the last piece to his tournament puzzle, Alien. Two rounds, constant pressure, and complete corner control and SonicFox became two-time Evo champion.

SAN DIEGO -- When the New Orleans Saints came to Qualcomm Stadium to stretch their legs after a long flight Saturday, Drew Brees walked to the spot in the west end zone where he suffered a career-changing injury on the last day of 2005, and said a prayer.It was a great time of reflecting, of just how far Ive come and our team has come, Brees said.Some 24 hours later, Qualcomm was the spot of a great celebration for Brees and the Saints. They rallied with two touchdowns in the final 4 minutes, 50 seconds for a stunning 35-34 victory against Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers, who blew a 13-point lead by committing two crucial turnovers.This was as much a team game, a team win, as I could ever remember, said Brees, who left the Chargers as a free agent in early 2006 and led the Saints to their only Super Bowl title four years later.With the Chargers trying to protect a 34-21 lead, Melvin Gordon fumbled and Darryl Tapp recovered at the San Diego 13, setting up Brees 5-yard TD pass to Michael Thomas on fourth-and-2 to pull to 34-28 with 4:50 to go.Travis Benjamin then fumbled after a reception and Nate Stupar recovered at the San Diego 31.

Webb with 1:10 to go.After the final gun, Brees ran over to the stands and traded high-fives with jubilant Saints fans. After showering and doing postgame interviews, he came back out on the field with several family members and friends.It was the first time Brees played at Qualcomm Stadium since Dec. 31, 2005, when he injured his throwing shoulder in his final appearance as Chargers quarterback. He had surgery and was allowed to leave as a free agent, signing with New Orleans.That gave the starting job to Rivers.That last game in San Diego, I thought my career might have been over, Brees said. As I walked off the field, I thought it might be the last game I would ever play.The Saints took a chance on Brees, and four years later he led them to an NFL title.Brees overcome two interceptions to led the Saints (1-3) to their first win.It was the third time this season the Chargers (1-3) blew a late lead.Chargers coach Mike McCoy was furious.That performance in the second half is flat-out unacceptable, McCoy said. From the very oopening kickoff return all the way to the very end.dddddddddddd You cannot turn the ball over at critical times when you are trying to put the game away. Two times in a row. We absolutely gave this one away.NO LEAD IS SAFEThe Chargers seemed to have it in control after Rivers directed a 14-play, 74-yard scoring drive capped by Gordons second 1-yard scoring run of the game to give the Chargers a 31-21 lead with 12:15 to play. Rivers kept the drive alive with a pinpoint, 16-yard completion to Tyrell Williams to the New Orleans 7-yard line.The Chargers have led in the fourth quarter of each of their three losses.WHERE IT TURNEDThe Chargers took a 24-14 halftime lead after scoring on three straight possessions, getting the 53-yard TD pass from Rivers to Inman, a 30-yard field goal from Josh Lambo and a 1-yard run by Gordon.San Diego floundered on the opening drive of the second half, making fans nervous. Dexter McCluster caught the opening kickoff of the second half 6 yards deep and bringing it out only to the 15. The Chargers went three and out, and Brees led them on a drive culminated when Kuhn scored on a 1-yard run to pull the Saints to 24-21.ATTENDANCE: The announced crowd was 60,641 at 70,000-seat Qualcomm stadium, the second home game this year well short of capacity.
