Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, Facebook makes a decision on Trump  

Facebook will announce it’s long-anticipated decision on the fate of Trump’s account today (Watch FB/News for an update at 9am ET). Former President Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended indefinitely a day after the January 6th Capitol riot. Because of how contentious the decision is, an independent Facebook Oversight Board will make the call. It’s described as a kind of Supreme Court for the social network. Also known as, someone to throw under the bus if there’s backlash. (Additional out) So most of their cases involve people tagging other people in unflattering photos.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, this music icon has changed his name again  

Diddy has a new name. Sean Combs, formerly known as Puffy, P. Diddy, Diddy, and then P. Diddy again, has now legally changed his middle name to ‘Love’. He posted his Florida driver’s license with the new name to Instagram to prove it. So going forward the music and fashion mogul should be formally referred to as Sean Love Combs. I guess he just really likes filling out forms. (Additional Out) But just to be on the safe side I’ll refer to him as Sean Puffy P Diddy Diddy P Diddy Love Combs.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, an out of control rocket the Pentagon is tracking  

The Pentagon is tracking a large out-of-control Chinese rocket that could reenter Earth’s atmosphere this weekend. That’s raising concerns about where its debris may make impact. The Chinese Long March 5B rocket is expected to enter Earth’s atmosphere around May 8th and the exact entry point can’t be pinpointed until within hours of reentry. So just in case, I’ll wait until Sunday to pay all my bills. (Additional out) But I’m sure someone will give us a heads up, or maybe not, either way I’ve had a good run.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, Terry Bradshaw doubles down on his Aaron Rodgers criticism  

Terry Bradshaw continues criticizing Aaron Rodgers, saying the Packers QB has been ‘Coddled too much’. Monday the hall of fame former QB and current NFL analyst said Rodgers was ‘dumber than a box of rocks’ for demanding a trade after contract talks hit a snag. In an interview with Colin Cowherd yesterday, Bradshaw added ‘he has probably the worst footwork I’ve ever seen.’ But to be fair he didn’t say anything about how terrible Rodgers is in those State Farm commercials. (Additional out). In other words, old guy criticizes young guy who gets paid substantially more for doing the job he used to do.
