In Week 7 of the NFL season, I learned that...
- ..., after the Denver quarterback's performance against the Cleveland Browns, Weird Al Yankovic will undoubtedly write the parody, "It's Over For Troubled Bridgewater."
- ..., if he continues to neglect his hair, Aaron Rodgers will one day star in the Outdoors Channel show, "The Mullet Makes the Man."
- ..., if Andy Reid attempted to sell the Kansas City Chiefs defense to The Dollar Store, The Dollar Store would adamantly respond, "We wouldn't even take that crap at half-off!"
- ..., if the Atlanta Falcons rookie tight end were to ever delve into politics, his slogan would likely be, "Kyle Pitts Is the Sh*ts."
- ...the Carolina Panthers offense without Christian McCaffrey is like a horror film void of stupid characters who somehow think it's a good idea to play Russian roulette with a fully-loaded firearm. It just doesn't work.

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. 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. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in.
