  Podcast: Wozniacki's New York Moment
  Nov 3, 2014 5:06 pm ET
  Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki celebrates at the finish line after completing the 2014 New York City Marathon.
  On the latest Sports Retort, the Journal's Matthew Futterman joins us to discuss his experience running the New York City Marathon for the fifth time. He breaks down how NYC compares to the other races he's done–Boston is the most storied, Big Sur is the most scenic and the Marine Corps in Washington involves soldiers running in combat boots while holding flags. We also go over the NYC route: While Matt explains why the course has gotten louder over the years, I share my annoyance with the Brooklyn-heavy layout of the race, which is sadly unavoidable unless you want to steer the race through tunnels. After a thorough evaluation of the great running movies ever made (there aren't many), we tackle the big question: How did Matt manage to lose to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, despite her lack of experience and apparent Halloween partying the night prior. Does her time mean all major athletes are naturally fit to run marathons at subhuman speeds, or is Wozniacki a true freak? Finally, how does this relate to Rory McIlroy?
  On the second half of the show, Michael Salfino joins us to tackle a bevy of football issues, including the Eagles' fate with Mark Sanchez at the helm, Salfino's theory on tall receivers, how to tell if a college QB will be good on Sunday and the astronomical recent production of Ben Roethlisberger.
  The Retort then thoroughly dissects one of the most mysterious plays in football: the fumble pile-up. Why does the NFL let this happen? What exactly is happening down there? And can we infer anything from all the pointing? The answer to the last question is a surprising yes.
