I don’t recall having seen this Rihanna pose before

College football scores

There was not much unexpected.

All of the undefeated teams remained undefeated. #1 Alabama almost seemed vulnerable in the first half. They were tied 10-10 with The Citadel. Of course they then proceeded to score 27 in the third period en route to a 33-point victory. #3 Notre Dame destroyed #12 Syracuse. That should assure the Irish a spot in the playoffs, given that Syracuse almost beat #2 Clemson.

The only true surprise in the top ten was that #9 West Virginia blew a 31-14 halftime lead. #10 Ohio State didn’t look good against Maryland, but they hung in there to win 52-51 in overtime.

Norman Lloyd got his first acting role when the president of the USA was Herbert Hoover

UPDATE from the comments:

Scoopy, you’d really appreciate this, from Wiki: “On October 25, 2017, two weeks before his 103rd birthday, Lloyd attended Game 2 of the 2017 World Series. Lloyd had also attended Game 1 of the 1926 World Series, 91 years earlier, at the age of 11.”

Scoop’s note:

The 1926 World Series is the one immortalized in The Winning Team, in which the great Grover Cleveland Alexander won two games and saved game seven despite being hung over. Alexander, played in that film by President Gipper himself, had once been the top pitcher in the NL. He had led the league in wins six times, including three consecutive seasons of 30 wins or more, but by 1926 he was a 39-year-old alcoholic. His performance in that series, against perhaps the greatest baseball team ever assembled, is considered not far short of miraculous. The movie is a typically sappy 1950s sports film, but doesn’t really exaggerate Alexander’s accomplishment that week. It really was that good and that unexpected.

So Norman Lloyd, who is still alive, was born during the first months of WW1, and once actually saw “Old Pete” out on the field (even though Alexander did not pitch in game 1 of that 1926 series). That almost seems impossible. Alexander played against Honus Wagner and Cy Young!

Pence: Trump administration has “defended the freedom of the press on the world stage”

(In addition to labeling the press, “The Enemy of the People,” Trump’s legal defense in the Jim Acosta suit was that the President is entitled to decide which reporters can cover him! Gee, I wonder why he lost.)

Ron DeSantis is the winner

The Senate race is still undecided. A manual recount is underway.

This pic of Anja Rubik looks like a paparazzi shot, but I don’t know that. One of the captions online is “Anja Rubik topless breakfast at hotel balcony in Cannes,” but I can’t vouch that the claim is reliable. I do know I like it.
