The NHL hit home runs with its Winter Classics at Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. And the Penguins' shootout win in the Buffalo snow was pretty amazing as well. But now what? We have a few ideas on where the NHL should play next year's Classic — some more serious than others.

New York Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils, Meadowlands Stadium. It's time for the NHL to go back to football stadiums, and what better place to start than the new Meadowlands Stadium in Jersey? And unlike the old baseball parks the NHL has favored the past two years, this place will be shiny and new ... aside from whatever damage the New York Giants and Jets fans inflict on it.

Minnesota Wild vs. Dallas Stars, Target Stadium. Speaking of new stadiums, the Twins' new home may be the perfect place for Minnesota fans to cheer on the Wild — and take out their anger on the Stars, who left them in 1993 for Texas.

Washington Capitals vs. TBD, FedEX Field. We don't care who plays the Capitals. We just want to see Alex Ovechkin in a Winter Classic. Sid the Kid had his moment to shine in the first Classic, and it's time for Alex the Great to get his chance.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens, Rogers Centre. Most hockey players in the NHL are Canadian. Most of them started out playing on the frozen ponds and lakes of Canada. So why not take the Winter Classic back to where it all started? Sure, the television ratings in the U.S. won't be that great, but who cares? It's time to get at least one Canadian team in the Winter Classic.

Los Angeles Kings vs. Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Coliseum. While the Rose Bowl hosts one of the biggest college bowl games across town, Gary Bettman can prove hockey can survive in warm climates by hosting the Winter Classic in California. Of course, he'll also have to prove an outdoor ice rink can survive in sunny Southern California. But if the NHL ice guys can make it work, the league can pack L.A.'s Coliseum.

Atlanta Thrashers vs. Nashville Predators, Georgia Dome. And if the NHL's ice guys can make a rink work in California, they can make it work in Georgia, too. To actually make it interesting for the casual fan, the loser gets kicked out of the NHL.

Phoenix Coyotes vs. Colorado Avalanche, Canad Inns Stadium. The former Winnipeg Jets and the former Quebec Nordiques would be the perfect match for a game at the home of the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers. In order to make up for the league's sending teams south of the border, the loser has to stay in Canada and become Winnipeg's new NHL organization.

The Saints vs. Cowboys game premieres Saturday NFL football. The Saints vs. Cowboys game is very important for the Saints and Cowboys, as both of the teams very much want to leave the field with a win on Saturday night. For the New Orleans Saints, this is the next step towards achieving an undefeated season in 2009. For the Dallas Cowboys, they are in a must-win situation as the NFC playoff picture has become even more muddled lately.

The Saints vs. Cowboys is the first Saturday night game of this NFL season, as the college football season has moved to their bowl games and left most of the docket open. Though there are indeed two college bowl games on Saturday, it still leaves a lot of fans who may want to watch an NFL game. Enter the Saints vs. Cowboys being broadcast on the NFL Network, and those fans who are lucky enough to see the game take place could be in for a treat.

In the 2009 regular season, the New Orleans Saints have already pushed their record up to 13-0 overall. They are just three wins away from a perfect regular season, and then they will just need three playoff wins to complete a Super Bowl winning perfect season. The Saints have already clinched a first round bye in the NFC, and are very close to clinching the #1 seed if they can keep playing as well as they have in the past weeks.

Dallas is taking a slightly different route towards the NFL playoffs, as they have stumbled badly in recent weeks. Dallas had led the NFC East, and fans were excited that a divisional title could be in the near future. Two straight losses have taken them down a notch, but since they are only trailing the division leading Philadelphia Eagles by one game they still have a chance. They will end the season against Philadelphia so if they are within one game they still have a chance. To remain close though, they need to start with a win on Saturday night.

The Saints vs. Cowboys game could turn into an offensive shoot-out between quarterbacks Tony Romo and Drew Brees, but look for the defenses and special teams to also play an important role in the outcomes of this game. Kick-off of the Saints vs. Cowboys game starts at 5:20 P.M. PST, so tune in to channel 417 if you have Comcast in Washington, and sit back for what could be a really good football game.

Dallas comes into the game with an 8-5 record, and New Orleans currently sits at 13-0.
