Mornings are for links

This was probably my favorite #longread of the year: Adrian Chen detailing how the granddaughter of Fred Phelps left the Westboro Baptist Church, thanks, in part, to Twitter.
FIFA finally kicks Sepp to the curb (and Michael Platini), which, better late than never, I guess?
Not sure how I have failed to link this masterpiece yet. Jon Bois is awesome and you should read everything he writes, but his explainer on what constitutes a catch in the NFL is brilliant, and isn’t what you think it is.

BEST LONGFORM SPORTS STORIES OF THE YEAR. WOOOOOOO.
Finally, Peyton was spitting fire flames at Ian Rapoport after the later claimed Manning was not content with the situation in Denver. He said bad words!
