With the Giants win my Tennessee Titans are now the only undefeated team in the NFL (5-0).  They enjoyed their by-week on Sunday.

Did you hear about the tragedy in Russia?  New York Ranger prospect Alexi Cherpepanov collapsed on the bench during a KHL game and later died.  He was on a 2-on-1 with Jagr before heading to the bench where he collapsed and medical personal were unable to revive the young star.

Chow down champ Joey Chestnut has done it again, this time proving he's a pizza powerhouse.

Chestnut downed 45 slices in 10 minutes Sunday to win the first Famous Famiglia World Pizza Eating Championship in Times Square.

He says he fasted for more than a day to prepare for the contest, and he folded and squeezed the slices to make them easier to swallow.

The 24-year-old rocketed to competitive-eating celebrity when he won Coney Island's July Fourth hot-dog eating contest in 2007. He took the title again this summer by gulping down 59 dogs in 10 minutes.

Last month, he consumed 93 Krystal hamburgers in eight minutes to win a contest in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

That's enough for this morning... I'm going to go and have some pandcakes and then think about voting.  There is a federal election going on that we need to think about.

Have a great morning!
