Philip Rivers Used A Silent Count In His Own Stadium Because Of The Loud Steelers Fans

The Steelers' Final Play Was So Ballsy
It’s a great play call because it worked. If it had backfired, running off the remaining five seconds and being stopped shy of the goal line, the Steelers get blasted this morning for a terrible play call.

Burger King's Halloween Whopper Plays Trick-Or-Treat With Your Tongue, Butt
By now you’ve surely heard that ingestion of Burger King’s new Halloween Whopper could lead to a curious and colorful gastrointestinal endgame.

Clay Travis of Fox Sports had a conversation with Jeb Bush that I don’t care to know more about, other than the part where he asked Bush if he smoked weed with Bill Belichick in high school.
