US Trash Can Washes Up on Shore in Ireland

The Old Way Of Grading Is Dying
The old point based way of grading is starting to die out which would mean no more letter grades in school. It’s slowly being replaced with a system with “the goal to base grades on what students are learning, and remove behavior, deadlines and how much work they do from the equation.” Let’s ditch homework altogether while we’re at it. Gets in the way of smoking weed.

MNF’s Steve Levy Had To Apologize To Steelers Rookie Running Back On Twitter
Steve Levy was calling MNF and went on for about 10 minute about how Steelers runningback Najee Harris was homeless growing up and how at one point, in college, he preferred to sleep on the floor of his dorm instead of the bed because that’s what he was used to. That was incorrect. And Najee called Levy out on it on Twitter. Levy then apologized. This would NEVER happen on the Manningcast.
Read the interaction on Twitter.
I got this part wrong Najee, my mistake. Your story is inspirational & mission to positively impact is admirable.
I’ll be donating to the Da' Bigger Picture Foundation and encourage others to help Najee’s greater purpose where they can.https://t.co/GlbxzRfXSD

Tom Brady's No Fan Of The NFL's 17th Game
Tom Brady had this to say on his podcast about the NFL’s new extended season:
“I think it’s pointless. I thought it was a terrible decision. So I don’t like the fact that we’re playing a 17th game at all. I think sixteen is plenty. And, again, you’re eight games into the year and you’re not halfway through, so that’s kind of a little frustrating.
He then went on to talk about the Player’s Union:
“We have union leadership which absolutely does the best they can based on the circumstances that they have but it is very challenging to get 1500 players to agree,” Brady said. “And it’s much easier to get 32 owners to agree who have all the information and they do regular quarterly meetings and they meet and they’re all interested in growing the game. Which, look, the players want to grow the game as well but we want to grow it in a way that’s, again, that’s right for the players as well.
Brady, just say it, you want to be the QB of the Bucs and the Commissioner. We’re in a simulation so it’ll probably happen.
The NFL Has Decided on Aaron Rodgers Fine
The fine for lying to his team and to the league, skirting health regulations and ignoring protocol is $14,000. On his $22 million salary.
That will teach him.
Aaron Rodgers fined $14,650 for violation of Covid protocols.
Based on his $22.4 million salary, that’s the equivalent of fining the average American $33.80.

Led Zeppelin Book Will Shock This Shit Out of 2021
Long time music fans know these shocking stories, but in 2021, being a dick will get you in big trouble, so Bob Spitz’s new book “Led Zeppelin: The Biography,” should really fuck with some heads. The NY Post retells the story about the bucket of dead fish which, if you don’t know already, it’s a real shocker that includes beating a young girl with dead fish, shoving snappers in her snapper, and then finishing the deal by shitting and pissing on her while band members and their wives looked on, and that was just the road managers. The woman who was seduced by Jimmy Page at 14 was also in the book.
If you think that’s bad wait till you find out how much music they ripped off.
