Redemption! It looked grim for Travis Ishikawa, who misplayed a fly ball in left field that led to the St. Louis Cardinals' first run off Giants starter Madison Bumgarner. Then Travis had a moment, bam! In the bottom of the 9th, with runners on first and second, he knocked the ball over the wall and put his team into the World Series.

Not the guys from East Rutherford.
But why Joe, why?
Some say it's because of a couple of goats.
Goat numero uno. Billy Cundiff shanked a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left and the Patriots escaped with a 23-20 victory in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. "Exit, stage left!"
Goat numero dos. Kyle Williams touched the football with his knee and the Giants recovered it, which led to a score. But wait, there's more!
With 9:42 remaining in the extra quarter, Williams caught a Steve Weatherford punt, turned upfield, ran five yards and then had the ball popped loose by Jacquian Williams. Five plays later, Lawrence "I'm not Billy Goat Cundiff " Tynes kicked the game winning field goal, sending the East Rutherford Giants to the Super Bowl. Goodnight, turn off the lights!
The "Superbaugh" will have to wait for another day.
Whether you loved or hated him, Al Davis was a character who changed the face of football. Rest in peace. 1929-2011
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know most of you don't give a shit about baseball. But, the Giants have finally won the World Series. So let me have my 3 seconds.
Baseball: no time clock and it ain't over until it's over.
The solution? The Vibram Five Fingers, rubberized gloves for your feet. Why fingers and not toes? God bless those guys and gals in branding.
Go fish!
I wonder why the IOC choose Brasil? Hmmm, I wonder?

The Tillerman said, "Personally, I would rather go to Chicago any day." Dear Old Sir, you don't need a wetsuit to sail your Laser in Rio. Besides, have you seen the view? I know Bunty, "Shameless!" Chalk it up to my Latin blood.

Did I mention the view?
I'm sorry Barry, but I've got to go with my heart....and the better landscape. So it's Brazil (Brasil) by a landslide. (If I had a vote)
Just look!
Olá Peter, olá João!
