It was a good week to be a... St. Louis-an? St. Louis-ite? a sports fan from St. Louis. 40% of this week's Buzzer Eagle is devoted to St. Louis, which ain't too shabby.
#5 St. Louis Triumphant
No, not the Cardinals. We'll get to them. The St. Louis Rams had to be the most improbable winner of the weekend. Who would have thought that the heretofore winless Rams were capable of beating the New Orleans Saints? Just looking at the performances the two teams put up last week - New Orleans absolutely beat down the Indianapolis Colts while the Rams managed

New faces, new sports, and history-in-the-making are all included in this week’s Buzzer Eagle Top 5. See if your favorite moment of the weekend made the cut.
#5 Defense-Lover’s Special
The Cleveland Browns didn’t score a touchdown on Sunday, but their two field goals – each from more than 50 yards out - were one better than the Seattle Seahawks could manage. The 6-3 victory was ugly, but it still counts as a win.
#4 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic
The name is a mouthful, but the PGA’s annual trip to Disney World proved to be a dream vacation for Luke Donald. He

This weekend promises so many dazzling spectacles that one might not know where to turn… unless one looked to Buzzer Eagle’s Top 5 for guidance. The Top 5 Not To Be Missed events of the weekend are:
#5 NBA Basketball… Not
After months of negotiations, the NBA owners and players seem to be farther apart than ever. It’s a battle royale pitting the big market owners vs. the small market owners vs. the marquee players vs. the rest of the players. The winner is yet to be determined. The loser is anyone who was counting on a full NBA season this

We can’t properly do justice to the Top 5 Sporting Moments of the weekend without throwing out a special honorable mention to Wednesday, September 29, 2011 – a day that will long be remembered as the greatest, most amazing, unbelievable, couldn’t-make-this-up-if-you-tried final day of baseball in the history of the MLB. Although Wednesday fails any reasonable definition of “weekend”, the events of that night cannot go unmentioned here. The St. Louis Cardinals victory coupled with the Atlanta Braves loss set the record for the worst September swoon in MLB history (or the greatest September comeback ever, depending on your
