VICE Sports World News Roundup: September 21

The NFC East is a mess, Diego Costa needs to be punched, and Spain's EuroBasket victory.

Good morning, America. Welcome to the VICE Sports World News Roundup. Be sure to stop by daily for your morning headlines.

It's the 21st of September, 2015, and Sepp Blatter is still president of FIFA. Your regular rounder-upper, Brian Blickenstaff, is on vacation. I, Aaron Gordon, will be holding down the fort for the week.

NFL Week 2 is nearly complete, and the NFC East is a total goddamn mess. Tony Romo broke his collarbone, leaving the Cowboys without their starting quarterback and star receiver; Eli Manning and the Giants blew another game with poor clock management; and Sam Bradford is leading the Eagles directly into the abyss. Things aren't looking so bad for the Washington Football Team after all.

In European soccer, Diego Costa did a Diego Costa thing during Chelsea's victory over Arsenal, everyone is reacting completely rationally to Lionel Messi missing another penalty, and PSG drew with Reims but remain atop Ligue 1. Francesco Totti sounds unhappy at Roma, at least according to this La Gazzetta report that Totti is unhappy at Roma.

Spain won EuroBasket 2015, defeating France in the semifinals and Lithuania in the final. The Spanish captain, Felipe Reyes, says the French speaker asked the audience to boo them.

In the not-sports-but-seriously-we-have-to-mention-it department, Great Britain Prime Minister David Cameron may or may not have once put his penis inside of a dead pig's mouth.

Brian usually does a photo of the day, but to mix it up a bit, here's your motivational Sepp Blatter quote of the day:

"I am the president now, the president of everybody."

Go be the best damn president of everybody you can be.
