Phills win a historic World Series and the reason I say historic is because game five was suspended for two days which has never been done before. The commissioner said that he didn't think that the World Series should ever be cancelled. He said it should be the full nine innings.
Cole Hamels who I mentioned before is also the first person to get the MVP trophy with a suspended game in the World Series.

Devin Hester Injured
Chicago Bears kick returner and wide receiver Devin Hester injured a quadricep muscle in the third quarter Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings and had to leave the game.
Hester had 11 kickoffs returned for TDs in his first two regular seasons, seven of which were kickoffs but four of those were punts not including his fastest TD in a super bowl opening kickoff and his missed field goal for a 108-yard TD. Just because he doesn't have any this season doesn't mean he's not doing well because every one is squib kicking but hopefully he will return soon because those squib kicks are really helping us with the Field position.

Titans 5-0 after QB Collins bests Ravens in fourth quarter
Facing a rugged Baltimore Ravens defense that still conjures unpleasant memories, Kerry Collins trotted onto the field needing to mount an 80-yard touchdown drive to keep the Tennessee Titans unbeaten.
His first big play was to get hit in the helmet. Soon after that, Collins threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Alge Crumpler with 1:56 left to rally Tennessee to a 13-10 victory Sunday.
The last time he started against the Ravens, Collins was thoroughly ineffective for the New York Giants in a 34-7 loss in the 2001 Super Bowl. This win didn't serve as revenge, but it sure helped ease the pain of that humbling setback.
The Titans trailed 10-6 in the fourth quarter before Collins engineered the pivotal 11-play scoring drive. The march was extended by a penalty against Baltimore's Terrell Suggs, who was flagged for a blow to Collins' helmet -- although the hit appeared to be little more than incidental contact.
It was the last of several personal foul calls in a game marred by numerous skirmishes. Tennessee was penalized 10 times for 78 yards, including a pair of 15-yard infractions that fueled both Baltimore's scoring drives.
The Ravens (2-2) were assessed 11 penalties for 91 yards in a matchup between two teams that once were, and seem to still be, bitter rivals.
The third-and-10 play began with a false start call against Tennessee, but play continued and Suggs' hit trumped the 5-yard penalty against the Titans.
Collins threw an incomplete pass on the play, but was provided with a new set of downs and coolly directed Tennessee into the end zone.
Frustrated by Baltimore's top-ranked defense for much of the game, Collins finished 17-for-32 for 163 yards and two interceptions.
After Tennessee went up 13-10, Baltimore rookie quarterback Joe Flacco was intercepted by Nick Harper, assuring the Ravens a second straight defeat.
Flacco, who went 18-for-27 for 153 yards and two interceptions, was 10 years old when Collins launched his NFL career in 1995.
The Ravens took a 10-3 lead with a 71-yard touchdown drive at the start of the second half. Flacco threw a 22-yard pass to Demetrius Williams and the Titans received two personal foul penalties before Le'Ron McClain scored from the 1. Tennessee also received a 15-yard penalty on the conversion.
It was the first points scored in the third quarter against the Titans this season.
Tennessee closed to 10-6 with 12:49 left when Rob Bironas kicked a 26-yard field goal to end a 13-play, 81-yard drive that featured three completions to Brandon Jones for 54 yards.
The Titans made only four first downs and 68 yards in a penalty-filled first half, which ended 3-3.
