ESPN headline - "RG III does jumping jacks for fans"

I read the following headline at ESPN.com and had to chuckle - "RG III does jumping jacks for fans."

Yes, exciting, isn't it? The article continued the excitement by starting with this - "Robert Griffin III did a few jumping jacks, jogged in place and bounced up and down on the stage."

Granted, the Washington Redskins quarterback is coming off a serious knee injury, but still, must we write a headline that he did some jumping jacks? If the trend continues, expect to see the following headlines over the next four months leading up to the season:

- "RG III does five push-ups"

- "RG III plays Wii bowling"

- "RG III walks to the bathroom in the middle of the night"

- "RG III bends his legs"

- "RG III does stuff"

At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
