Tony Romo, who is 32 and in his prime as an NFL quarterback, comes from an altogether different era.

They are flipping the switch as we speak. Strasburg is 15-6 with a 3.14 ERA, and will finish with those numbers.

Terrible Mother Duck Leads Ducklings Across Five-Lane Highway
Nothing you watch this weekend—no thriller at the multiplex, no nailbiting football game—will come close to the tension of this video. A mama duck leading her nine babies across a busy freeway in Toronto, with only the distant rumble of the cars for a soundtrack, and oh god I hope they make it....
