The Green Bay Packers piled on Minnesota's ever-crumbling season with a 44-31 victory. The Packers were so effective offensively, particularly RB Eddie Lacy, that Minnesota only managed to hold on to the ball for 19 minutes and six seconds — less than 1/3rd of the game.
Johnny Gomes found out Shane Victorino couldn't play in Game 4 of the World Series during batting practice, and ended up in the lineup against a right-hander despite barely facing any all season. No matter. Gomes mashed a three-run homer to put Boston up 4-1, en route to a series tying 4-2 victory. The tight series may lead to huge ratings for MLB, as Game 3 was the highest-rated since 2009.
The Dallas Cowboys had a 99 percent chance of winning the game with two minutes left and still managed to blow it against Megatron and the Detroit Lions.

NSA allegations are sweeping Europe. Just a week after French newspapers reported widespread phone tapping, and German media described the tapping of Angela Merkel's phone, Spainsh reports say the NSA monitored over 60 million calls in one month this year. The White House reportedly ordered the NSA to stop wiretapping world leaders. The NSA also claim President Obama did not know the extent of what they were doing, which, I think, is somehow supposed to be reassuring. It isn't. Obama then said that other countries are doing the same thing, but the US will scale back their operation.
