TV Anchor Warns New Yorkers To Not Eat Maybe Ebola-Infected Poop
Bad news, y'all: Ebola is in New York. You may think you're screwed. You may think this is the only logical conclusion to Obama's America. You may even be right.

The Rams' Balls-Out Special-Teams Play Was Brilliant Fun
Let's take the time to praise the enormous stones on the Rams' coaching staff for calling two of the most exciting and least anticipated trick plays of the season: a fake punt and, before that, a fake punt return. Each played a huge part in St. Louis's upset win over Seattle....
Rams Fake Punt From Inside Their Own 20 Is The Most Brazen Play Of 2014
We already saw the Rams fake a punt return today, but that's nothing compared to this silly fake punt pulled off with less than three minutes remaining, inside their own 20, and up by only two. If this doesn't work, it goes down in history as one of the stupidest decisions made on a football field...

Bruce Bochy Was The Anti-Matheny, And It Made All The Difference
If you're looking for an argument that having a smart manager in the dugout is integral to a baseball team's success, last night's Cardinals-Giants game is it. Not only did it feature Mike Matheny badly managing his club right into a walk-off homer, it had the manager on the other side of the field,...

The Rams Will Wear Those Sweet 1999 Throwbacks Tonight
St. Louis is breaking out the 1999 throwback uniforms for Monday Night Football tonight, and goddamn, it brings back some fond memories. I genuinely wonder how much of that is the actual uniform and how much is the fact that it was last worn by one of the most exciting teams of football's modern era...
Kolten Wong Wins Game Two With Walk-Off Homer
After blowing the lead in the top of the ninth, St. Louis evened the NLCS when Kolten Wong led off the bottom of the frame with a line drive homer to right. Here's how it sounded in Spanish on Fox Deportes. (Hint: it was much better than Joe Buck's call.)...
Madison Bumgarner's Curveball Made Hitters Look Dumb Last Night
Madison Bumgarner accomplished a very specific feat in last night's Game 1 NLCS win: The Giants lefty broke the record for most consecutive scoreless innings pitched with 26.2 after he exited the game against the Cardinals. It was entertaining to watch him work his way through the lineup, but obviou...
