Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, last night’s big winners at the Grammy’s
Beyonce broke records and Megan Thee Stallion, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish took home big prizes last night at the Grammy’s. After winning her 28th, Beyonce now holds the record for all-time wins by a woman and any singer male or female. Megan Thee Stallion won best new artist, Billie Eilish took home record of the year and Taylor Swift became the first woman to win album of the year 3 times. Host Trevor Noah won the award for most cringe-worthy dance moves. (Additional out) The big loser was whoever’s idea it was to do the performances in the round where other artists just stood around awkwardly watching.
Tease: In ______ minutes, this star NFL QB has retired
Drew Brees has retired after 20 years in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints Quarterback ends his career as the NFL’s all-time-leader in passing yards. He spent the past 15 of those with the Saints after being drafted by the Chargers in 2001. Besides the passing records, Brees also led his team to a Super Bowl win in 2010. Plus, he’d have won another one in 2018 if the Saints weren’t robbed by some terrible NFL refereeing. (Additional out) So congrats to Brees for only playing one year longer than he should have.

Making 44 of the worst movies ever made. (Additional out) Thanks to some terrible career advice by his manager Colonel Tom Parker.
Tease: In _____ minutes, what Bill Burr said at the Grammy’s that enraged people on the internet
Bill Burr presented an award at the Grammy’s premiere ceremony after a piano performer and immediately said, ‘Was I the only one who wanted to kill himself during that piano solo?” He then went on to mispronounce the winner’s name for the best regional Mexican album before having to awkwardly accept the award for her. Needless to say people on the internet are once again calling for Bill Burr’s cancellation. Giving him exactly what he wanted, publicity for having to host the untelevised portion of the Grammy’s. (Additional out) By expressing their pretend outrage on Twitter.
