In Week 15 of the NFL season, I learned that...
- ...Bill Belichick can pull off the mask-look better than he can the hoodie.
- ..., next to the term "WTF?!?" in the dictionary will be a picture of LA Rams coach Sean McVay's face after realizing he just lost to the 0-13 New York Jets.
- ...former "Monday Night Football" announcer Booger McFarland will likely sue Cris Collinsworth for stealing his line of, "Now that's an NFL touchdown," of course said during the course of an NFL game.
- ...the Gardner Minshew mustache apparently backfired, as the Baltimore Ravens defense was hypnotized into believing Sunday was Cinco de Mayo, Gardner's last name was actually Minshewo, and he was to be treated like a human pinata.

While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot.
