Rutgers Pulled Off An Unbelievable Fumblerooski Against Ohio State

Much like Rick Moranis’ character Coach Danny O’Shea in Little Giants, Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano knew his team was going to have to pull some trickery to beat a team much better than his on paper.

And so the Rutgers’ offense, facing a 4th and 1 to start the second quarter and trailing 7-0, decided to do what Moranis did: run the fumblerooski.

And just like in Little Giants, it worked.

The play involves a snap going to the quarterback, who then covertly hands it off to someone else (an offensive lineman in the case of Little Giants) or puts it on the ground for someone else to pick up and run with. All the while, the quarterback pretends as if he has the ball, causing the defense to chase him instead of the player that actually does.

When Rutgers did it, quarterback Gavin Wimsatt got the snap and quickly handed it to running back Kyle Monangai rumbled 45 yards to the Ohio State 12-yard line before he was finally dragged down.

Rutgers reached the Ohio State 4-yard line but was unable to score a touchdown, settling for a 22-yard field goal. But any points are valuable against a defense like Ohio State’s.

It’s worth noting that Rutgers only got a field goal on the drive, but it was the Scarlet Knights’ first points of the game. And football in general needs far more fumblerooskis.

Travis Barker & Kourtney Kardashian Have Reportedly Welcomed Their Baby Boy To The World

Blink-182’s Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian’s family has grown by one bouncing baby boy. According to TMZ, the couple welcomed their first child together over the weekend. The pair’s whirlwind romance surprised fans, but as their love story played out on Hulu’s The Kardashians, they eventually came aboard.

Both Barker and Kardashian have documented the pregnancy across their official social media pages. During an episode of One Life One Chance Podcast With Toby Morse, Barker revealed they planned to name the child Rocky. Although each party has children from previous relationships, Kardashian (Reign Aston, Mason Dash, and Penelope Scotland) and Barker (Landon, Alabama, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya), this marks their first child together.

In September, Kardashian was rushed to the hospital after facing an undisclosed medical emergency. Fortunately, the matter was eventually resolved. Barker left the road to be by his wife’s side. Last, Kardashian spoke with Vogue about the pregnancy.

“I’m one of those people who is obsessed with being pregnant. I felt really pressured and pushed into doing [IVF],” said Kardashian. “It went against my intuition, and I didn’t feel fully prepared for the mental or physical toll it takes.” She went on to reveal that they ultimately conceived naturally. “It was an indescribable feeling. Shock, then super happy… fear sets in, worry, but I remembered then to have gratitude.”

Jacob Elordi Ate A Truly Jaw-Dropping Amount Of Bacon Every Day To Play Elvis In ‘Priscilla’

Another year, another Elvis movie. This latest one, though, is quite a bit different than last year’s. Where Baz Luhrmann’s inexplicably Razzie-winning take took a more traditional biopic route, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla shows things from the perspective of his young bride, played by Cailee Spaeny. The King, played by Jacob Elordi, is but a supporting character, sometimes away from Graceland shooting one of his wacko movies. That doesn’t mean the actor portraying him didn’t go all-in.

In a new Entertainment Weekly interview with Coppola and her two stars, the director talked about some of the things they learned about Elvis from their research. “Priscilla told us that Elvis liked really burned bacon,” she revealed.

And so Elordi changed his eating habits. “I averaged like a pound of bacon a day,” Elordi said, laughing. “It’s not that noticeable because I’m quite long. But I was the biggest I’ve ever been.”

Priscilla was quite involved in Priscilla, even scoring an executive producer’s credit. Not everyone in her family was pleased with what Coppola was doing. Before her death, Lisa Marie, Priscilla’s daughter with Elvis, was so appalled by how Coppola had depicted her father that she sent her an angry email.

Priscilla is now in theaters. It has zero Elvis songs, but it does have this amazing earworm.

Jack Black shows off his impeccable impersonation of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

I don’t know what it is about impersonations that are so fascinating to people but they’re often hilarious, and Jack Black impersonating The Rock does not disappoint. From the 2018 clip you can’t tell what prompted the impersonation but “Screen Junkies” interviewer looks to Black and asks him about his workout routine as if he’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

The comedian adjusts himself in his seat and doesn’t break character the entire time and somehow the interviewer is able to maintain a serious face throughout the process. Kevin Hart and the actual Dwayne Johnson cannot keep it together while Black does his impression of his co-star.


Black obviously knows the workout routine of the 6-foot, 5-inch muscular Black Samoan demigod and it starts out with 27,000 rip curls at 5 a.m. At least, that’s the “School of Rock” alum’s best guesstimate, and judging by Johnson’s size, that seems about right.

But his ribbing of his co-star didn’t stop there. As Johnson and Hart are practically wheezing with laughter, Black continues with his impersonation adding in Johnson’s philosophy on life. If you’re curious about that, it involves blood, sweat, tears and sucking life deep.

Yeah, I don’t know what that means either but you should check out the video below because it’s pretty impressive and might just brighten your day.

Sorry, Labradors. After 31 years, America has a new favorite dog.

The sweet-faced, loveable Labrador Retriever is no longer America’s favorite dog breed. The breed best known for having a heart of gold has been replaced by the smaller, more urban-friendly French Bulldog.

According to the American Kennel Club, for the past 31 years, the Labrador Retriever was America’s favorite dog, but it was eclipsed in 2022 by the Frenchie. The rankings are based on nearly 716,500 dogs newly registered in 2022, of which about 1 in 7 were Frenchies. Around 108,000 French Bulldogs were recorded in the U.S. in 2022, surpassing Labrador Retrievers by over 21,000.


The French Bulldog’s popularity has grown exponentially over the past decade. They were the #14 most popular breed in 2012, and since then, registrations have gone up 1,000%, bringing them to the top of the breed popularity rankings.

The AKC says that the American Hairless Terrier, Gordon Setter, Italian Greyhound and Anatolian Shepherd Dog also grew in popularity between 2021 and 2022.

The French Bulldog was famous among America’s upper class around the turn of the 20th century but then fell out of favor. Their resurgence is partly based on several celebrities who have gone public with their Frenchie love. Leonardo DiCaprio, Megan Thee Stallion, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Reese Witherspoon and Lady Gaga all own French Bulldogs.

The breed earned a lot of attention as show dogs last year when a Frenchie named Winston took second place at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and first in the National Dog Show.

The breed made national news in early 2021 when Gaga’s dog walker was shot in the chest while walking two of her Frenchies in a dog heist. He recovered from his injuries, and the dogs were later returned.

They’ve also become popular because of their unique look and personalities.

“They’re comical, friendly, loving little dogs,” French Bull Dog Club of America spokesperson Patty Sosa told the AP. She said they are city-friendly with modest grooming needs and “they offer a lot in a small package.”

They are also popular with people who live in apartments. According to the AKC, Frenchies don’t bark much and do not require a lot of outdoor exercise.

The French Bulldog stands out among other breeds because it looks like a miniature bulldog but has large, expressive bat-like ears that are its trademark feature. However, their popularity isn’t without controversy. “French bulldogs can be a polarizing topic,” veterinarian Dr. Carrie Stefaniak told the AP.

French Bulldogs have been bred to have abnormally large heads, which means that large litters usually need to be delivered by C-section, an expensive procedure that can be dangerous for the mother. They are also prone to multiple health problems, including skin, ear, and eye infections. Their flat face means they often suffer from respiratory problems and heat intolerance.

Frenchies are also more prone to spine deformations and nerve pain as they age.

Here are the AKC’s top ten most popular dog breeds for 2022.

1 French Bulldogs

2 Labrador Retrievers

3 Golden Retrievers

4 German Shepherd Dogs

5 Poodles

6 Bulldogs

7 Rottweilers

8 Beagles

9 Dachshunds

10 German Shorthaired Pointers

Queen Latifah Introduced ‘The Forever Futurist’ Missy Elliott’s Historic Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction

The documentaries, events, and televised performances commemorating hip-hop’s 50th anniversary have given the culture’s pioneers with their long-deserved flowers. On Friday, November 3, Missy Elliott added another milestone to the culture’s impact after becoming the first female rapper to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

During the ceremony, Queen Latifah took the stage at the Barclays Center to introduce her longtime friend. “Trust me, nothing sounded the same after Missy came on the scene,”said Latifah. “Nothing….everything changed – the bass lines changed, the pockets changed, the cadence, the writing. And that’s because Missy has always been a futurist, someone who’s always looking ahead.”

During Missy’s speech, she referred to several of the genre’s trailblazers, including Flavor Flav, Pepa (Salt-N-Pepa), and her longtime friend and collaborator Timbaland.

“There’s so many of y’all that are so legendary in here,” Elliott told the crowd. “This is the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. And so this is deeper than me just being up here. I was telling Robin [Roberts], you just feel like it’s so far to reach when you in the hip-hop world, and to be standing here, it means so much to me.”

For her live set, Missy performed a medley of her hits “Get Ur Freak Out,” “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly),” “Work It,” “Pass That Dutch,” and “Lose Control.”

Texas A+M’s Shemar Turner Got Ejected For Uppercutting An Ole Miss Lineman In The Nuts

As seems to happen every year, Texas A&M has struggled to meet lofty preseason expectations, as the Aggies came into Saturday’s game in Oxford, Mississippi at 5-3 on the season and were 3-point underdogs on the road to Ole Miss.

The Rebels jumped on the Aggies early, taking a quick 14-0 lead, but Texas A&M would fight their way back into the game in the second and third quarters. However, that need to fight back got taken a bit too literally by Aggies defensive lineman Shemar Turner, as on an Ole Miss drive in the third quarter he took exception to Ole Miss offensive lineman Micah Pettus putting a little extra stank on a pancake block in the red zone, with Pettus standing over Turner’s head. In return, Turner threw a full-on uppercut right to Pettus’ nuts that earned him an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and an ejection.

Usually you see guys be a bit more subtle with a low blow, but Turner put all he had into this punch and, I guess, if you’re gonna do it you might as well get your money’s worth.

The penalty gave Ole Miss a first-and-goal from the 6-yard line, and they would score a touchdown on the very next play to extend their lead to 28-14. While the Aggies would get that TD back on the next drive, they are now down a key defensive tackle for the rest of the game because he couldn’t help but go full Ric Flair with the low blow.

Korean mom has a perfect response to the teacher who called her son’s lunches ‘disgusting’

A recently posted story on Reddit shows a mother confidently standing up for her family after being bullied by a teacher for her culture. Reddit user Flowergardens0 posted the story to the AITA forum, where people ask whether they are wrong in a specific situation.

Over 5,600 people commented on the story, and an overwhelming majority thought the mother was right. Here’s what went down:

“I (34F) have a (5M) son who attends preschool. A few hours after I picked him up from school today, I got a phone call from his teacher,” Flowergardens0 wrote. “She made absolutely no effort to sound kind when she, in an extremely rude and annoyed tone, told me to stop packing my son such ‘disgusting and inappropriate’ lunches.”


“I felt absolutely appalled when she said this, as me and the teacher have, up until now, always maintained a very friendly relationship. She added that the lunches I’m packing my son are ‘very distracting for the other students and have an unpleasant odor.’ I told her that I understand her concerns, as the lunches I pack are definitely not the healthiest, but the lunches are according to my son’s preferences.”

The mother added that she usually sends her son to school with small celery sticks, blue cheese and goat cheese, kimchi, spam and spicy Sriracha-flavored Doritos.

“I ended the call by saying that I very much appreciated her worries, but that at the end of the day, I am not going to drastically change my son’s lunches all of a sudden, and that it’s not my fault if other students are ‘distracted’ by his meal,” the mother continued. “It is very important to me what my son enjoys, and I want him to like my lunches.”

The teacher replied with an email saying the mom’s response was “unacceptable” and that his lunches were “just too inappropriate to be sent to school any longer.”

“I haven’t responded yet and don’t want to. I want to maintain a healthy relationship with my son’s teachers. I am confused as to what to do,” the mom ended her story.

It’s clear that the teacher is way out of line in this situation because the child is eating food that is entirely normal in Korean culture. It may have a strong odor to those who aren’t used to it, but that’s just an opportunity for the teacher to explain to the children how people from different parts of the world eat different types of food. It’s not that hard.

The only reason the teacher should have any choice over what the child eats is if it is egregiously unhealthy and may cause them harm.

The most popular commenter on the forum suggested that the mother bring the issue to the principal’s attention.

“Report her to the principal,” Thatshygal717 wrote. “Her comments regarding your son’s food are ‘disgusting’ and ‘have an unpleasant tone’ aka cough cough racist tone. She’s too inappropriate to be teaching at the school any longer.”

Another commenter, muffiewriters, assured the mother that she was doing nothing wrong. “Your son’s food is perfectly normal,” they wrote. “For a 5-year-old. Your family’s food is normal. The teacher is TA for not recognizing that.”

The mother hasn’t shared what she did next, but she’s handled the situation perfectly so far. She told the teacher that it’s not her fault if other kids are distracted by her food and that she will not change her son’s diet to please other people.

The beauty of America is that we are a country of many different cultures mixed like a beautiful bowl of salad. It’s great that so many people supported the mother and reminded her that her family has every right in the world to eat the food they love, and if it bothers anyone, they can keep it to themselves.

P.S. That teacher has no idea what she’s talking about. Korean food is delicious.

Bernie Taupin Seemed To Use His Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Speech To Call Out ‘Rolling Stone’ Founder Jann Wenner

On Friday, November 3, the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame saw music’s most acclaimed artists reflecting on their work. Bubbling new school acts such as Olivia Rodrigo took the stage to honor her musical hero, Sheryl Crow. Veteran musicians like Willie Nelson brought out entertainers that he’s inspired along the way. For revered songwriter Bernie Taupin, he took a moment to acknowledge the work of recording artists who are no longer with us.

During his induction speech, Taypin highlighted the impact of women, Black, and Black women musicians. The declaration was moving — and it seemed to call out Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner’s past disparaging remarks about non-white musicians.

“I guess you could say my being inducted is a paradox, perhaps, but either way, I’m honored to be in the class of 2023 alongside a group of such profoundly ‘articulate’ women and outstanding ‘articulate’ Black artists along with all of the other music masters here tonight,” said Taupin.

Taupin’s reflections on the state of music didn’t stop there. Before his longtime collaborator and friend, Elton John, took the stage to perform “Tiny Dancer,” which Taupin wrote, he spoke about the categoric issues with pop music. Watch the clip below.

Before the ceremony, Wenner was reportedly removed from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation board. He’s since apologized for his comments.

The 2023 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony is available for playback on Disney+. Find more information here.
