In Nashville, Tennessee, team owner Bud Adams, was fined $250,000 by the NFL, for apparently making obscene gestures at Buffalo Bills fans during his Titans 41-17 win.

Adams, who says he was signaling his coaches on the field to run “play #1,” agreed to pay the fine, because it worked and his team won. 

On Thursday, November 12, the New York Daily News reported that City University of New York (CUNY) has a math problem.  Reports show that during their first math class at one of CUNY’s four-year colleges, 90% of 200 students tested couldn’t solve a simple algebra problem and only a third could convert a fraction into a decimal.

How embarrassing to have a 90% failure rate!  That’s like almost 8 out of every 5 people!

 

Rodell Vereen was sentenced on Wednesday, November 4, to three years in prison after being caught, on video, having sex with a horse.  He admitted to buggery and pleaded guilty, for the second time in two years, to abusing the animal.

In a related story, on Tuesday, November 10, British scientists announced the beginning of a new study on using human DNA in animals!

Do you think the timing of these two news events is just a coincedence?

U. S. President Barack Obama was stunned by the early exit after the first round of voting by the Olympic Committee.  His surprise arrival, in Copenhagan, Denmark, fueled speculation that he wanted to “pitch” in person, a new Olympic event similar to baseball. 

After viewing clips of Chicago gangs fighting and swinging railroad ties at each other, the committee members decided to send a message: BASEBALL 1, BASEBRAWL 0

In an attempt to defuse a potential media frenzy, David Letterman has admitted to having had sexual relations with female staff members.  But he insisted they weren’t hired because they could actually help the show.

He only hired them to avoid lawsuits over misunderstandings caused by using the line “would you like to be on my staff?”

An NFL commissioned study that linked playing professional football to higher rates of Alzheimer’s disease or similar memory-related illnesses, has shown to be flawed after all.

The retired NFL players who were tested, had results so similar to their academic performances when in college, it was not possible to blame the NFL for their poor memories!

Antonio Judd, of Worcester, Massechusetts, has just been sentenced, to 18 months in prison, for robbing another man of a hot dog in Elm Park in August of 2008.

And to think that Roman Polanski got 32 years in Europe for taking a girl’s cherry!

Chynna  Phillips was on Oprah claiming her father, Mamas and the Papas singer John Phillips, never made sexual advances towards her in spite of supposedly having had an incestuous relationship, of 10 years, with half-sister Mackenzie Phillips.

Not to sound like Tom Smothers, but now Chynna can tell Mackenzie “Dad always did like you best!,” and really mean it!

Expectant mother, Carolyn Savage, has learned that she is carrying the child of another couple and will have to give up the child after he is born.  Apparently, the fertility clinic got her eggs mixed up with those from another woman before implanting the embryo.

On giving up the baby, Mrs. Savage added, “It’s OK.  I’ve never liked scrambled eggs anyway.”

President Barack Obama, expressing his openness to a newspaper bailout bill, stated that good journalism is “critical to the health of our democracy."
