Dion Waiters's 28-Point Performance Put A Big Smile On His Face
The Cleveland Cavaliers downed the Clippers in Los Angeles last night 108-101 thanks to some mega-clutch fourth quarter play from Dion Waiters (with a little help from Kyrie Irving).

Riley Cooper Was Hiding In The Endzone On The Touchdown That Was Called Back For An Illegal Forward Pass
This was quite the play. Riley Cooper took the ball 94 yards for a touchdown on a nifty cross-field lateral off a New Orleans kickoff.

Chiefs Head Coach Romeo Crennel Fires Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel
Outside of an overtime win against the Saints, the Chiefs have been unwatchable this season. The team's most damning mark of failure is the fact that it hasn't held a lead in regulation in its first seven games, a streak that remains intact after Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Chargers....
