<headline>NFL - Romo money at home in November</headline>
<id>8659596</id>
<text>Tony Romo is 14-0 all-time at home in the month of November. According to Elias that is tied for the most home wins ever by a starting QB in any month without a loss. Frank Ryan - who started games for the Rams and Browns in the 1950s and 1960s - also won 14 home games in November without suffering a loss (although he did have a tie).</text>

<headline>NBA - Carmelo off to hot start</headline>
<id>8658699</id>
<text>From Elias: Carmelo Anthony off to a sizzling start - 24.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.
In Knicks history, only Patrick Ewing, Willis Reed, and Willie Naulls averaged at least 24 points and 7 boards through 9 games - not bad company for Carmelo, who's currently in his 3rd season in the Big Apple.</text>
