The St. Louis Rams dominated the Broncos on Sunday and came out with a 22-7 win. Shaun Hill was 20-of-29 for 220 yards and one TD, while Tre Mason ran 29 times for 113 yards. Gregg Williams’ defense sacked Manning twice and hit him four times. Trumaine Johnson and Alec Ogletree picked off Manning for the two interceptions.

The St. Louis Rams move to 4-6 on the season while the Denver Broncos fall to 4-6. The Rams will take on the 6-4 San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on Sunday. The Chargers beat the Oakland Raiders yesterday 13-6.

There were several fun Vines that came out of the day, including this one of Shaun Hill catching a pass from Shaun Hill. Emmanuel Sanders took a vicious hit from Rodney McLeod and was apparently briefly declared dead on Wikipedia.

Chocolate Shortage Coming?

The Barry Callebaut Group is the “worlds’s biggest confectionary firm”, which means they make a whole lot of chocolate. Chocolate prices have gone through the roof in recent years and the demand is far outpacing the supply. Mars, Inc. is also sounding the alarm about the potential HUGE shortage. Considering the world is also facing a bourbon shortage, it’s reasonable to think we’ve gotten all we can out of earth and need to start finding out if other planets in our solar system have chocolate and bourbon.
