In Week 10 of the NFL season, I learned that...
- ..., given his play, it seems rather obvious Mason Rudolph is still recovering from the Myles Garrett-helmet incident from two years back.
- ...there are so many back-up quarterbacks playing, Roger Goodell is thinking of changing the league's name to the eXFL.
- ..., due to how well the Patriots have been playing of late, rumor has it Bill Belichick is cheating again. First it was SpyGate. Then it was DeflateGate. Now, given his recent get-up, odds are this controversy will be called FashionGate.

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.
