In Week 8 of the NFL season, I learned that...
- ...Tom Brady may have had more to do with the Belichick magic than his hoodie.
- ...the New York Jets suck more than Donald Trump does Vladimir Putin on Valentine's Day.
- ..., since no one on his team seems able to pronounce his name, Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has told his teammates to simply call him T.T. or Taco Bell.
