Rams Fake Punt From Inside Their Own 20 Is The Most Brazen Play Of 2014

Jets Fan Reacts To Loss Not With Anger, But Complete Emotional Shutdown
This guy's probably reacted to Jets losses with fury and/or screaming in the past, but maybe he's just sick of it, it being everything.

Madison Bumgarner's Fastball Is Getting Deadlier
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner didn't seem to have his best stuff during Game 5 of the NLCS, and was particularly let down by his cutter.

Katie Nolan Tries To Chug Six Beers Better Than Madison Bumgarner
Katie Nolan has a problem with people claiming that pitcher Madison Bumgarner's chugging four, five, or six beers after the Giants win postseason games. (We've gone with different wordings, because he's really just pouring them on his face, though that's still cool.) So, Nolan attempted to show ho...

Madison Bumgarner Takes Six Beers To The Face
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner "chugged" four beers at once when his team won the wild card play-in game.

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.
