This year's Oktoberfest opened in Bavaria just about two weeks ago. Most of Oktoberfest every year takes place in September, just like you'd expect, and it coincides nicely with the start of fall in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere that aren't the burning hellscape of Central Texas.

With all the tragedy of the previous week, including the loss of both Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer on the same day, a third incident from Sunday, September 25th received a lot of attention north of the border, but might not have made the rounds as much on ESPN and

Answer: On fresh meat. It survived losing Tebow, and he was God's Chosen Representative on this earth. NFL News: It might be time to talk about JJ Watt not being around for much longer. He's been placed on IR, which means at least out for 8-games. Nice to see Bill O'Brien
