After catching the milestone touchdown during the Bucs-Bears game, that made Brady the first player in NFL history with 600 TD passes, receiver Mike Evans unknowingly handed it into the crowd. But the Bucs were able to convince the man to give the ball back for another ball and a $1,000 gift card. Which will buy him roughly four beers at Raymond James Stadium.

If I’m suing Pop-Tarts for anything it’s the fact that I get third degree burns on the top of my mouth every time I eat them.

Basically, now every day is like a day before a snowstorm people are overreacting to. 

2) Deshaun Watson could be a Miami Dolphin by the end of the week. NFL insiders say the Houston Texans are trying to finalize a deal before the NFL’s trade deadline on November 2nd. Houston is still asking for three first rounders in exchange for the 26-year-old Watson. Roughly 1 for every 7 civil cases he’s facing. 

3) A new subtype of the Delta variant is causing concern in the UK. British and international authorities are watching the subtype that now accounts for about 6% of new cases. Experts have suggested that the AY.4.2 descendant could be slightly more transmissible than the original Delta variant, but it is not yet considered a ‘variant of concern’. I guess the longer this thing drags on the less creative we’re going to be with the names. 

4) Kellogg’s is being sued again over the amount of strawberries in their pop-tarts. A New York woman named Elizabeth Russett is suing the food manufacturer for damages exceeding $5 million. It’s the second time Kellog’s has been sued because their labeling on their strawberry Pop-Tarts contain images of fresh strawberries but include few actual strawberries. If I’m suing Pop-Tarts for anything it’s the fact that I get third degree burns on the top of my mouth every time I eat them. 

5) A new study looked at activities that led to Americans visiting major trauma centers over a ten-year stretch. According to their findings, which one of these is more dangerous than playing football? A) skiing, B) horseback riding or C) auto racing. Answer: B, horseback riding led to more major trauma center visits than skiing, auto racing or even football. Luckily, I no longer do any of those so I should be good.

Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, a new climate change solution  

Could giant carbon-sucking fans be the answer to cleaning up our climate change mess? That’s the hope of scientists in Iceland who’ve constructed a towering metal structure resembling four giant Lego bricks, with two rows of six whirring fans running across each one.

So those of you who had failed run for president and name change on your crazy bingo card just won.

Tease: In _____ minutes, new study for people who got J&J  

People who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine may be better off getting a Moderna or Pfizer booster according to a new study. The NIH study on ‘mixing and matching’ Covid vaccines included 450 adults divided into groups receiving an extra shot of their original vaccine or a booster from a different company. All the combinations boosted antibody levels higher, but Pfizer’s and Moderna’s appeared to work the best. I like my vaccines like I like my casseroles, just throw a little bit of everything in there. (Additional out) I’ll take a double shot of Pfizer, with a Moderna chaser and hold the J&J.

5 Things You Need to Know  

1) William Shatner called his ride in Blue Origin’s rocket ‘the most profound experience’ of his life. At 90, the actor who portrayed Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek is now officially the oldest person to ever go to space. Once he was back on Earth a visibly overcome Shatner told Jeff Bezos, ‘I hope I never recover from this. I hope I can maintain what I feel now.’ And Bezos replied, thanks for not dying, that would’ve been awkward.  

2) Beatles legend Paul McCartney took a shot at the Rolling Stones calling them a ‘blues cover band’. McCartney, who is currently promoting a new book, made the comment in an interview with The New Yorker. Here’s the quote, ‘I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are. I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.’ But since he said it with a British accent it didn’t sound as rude.  

3) Instagram users are now able to schedule an Instagram Live up to 90 days in advance. The new Instagram features also include a ‘practice mode’ that allows creators to join their guests ahead of an event to test the connection, lighting or any other prep. The launch comes as their rival TikTok has been working on making live content a larger part of their app experience. Also known as that social platform you used to make fun of but now spend hours a day on.
