Beer Of The Week: La Fin Du Monde
Add this to your bucket list: Watching a U.S. presidential election from somewhere other than the States.

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. It would have essentially nullified a nearly six-minute, 70-yard drive and put the Eagles back within a score. Instead it was nullified as an illegal forward pass,...
