RICK NEUHEISEL (CBS Sports) Last time we talked to Coach, we were hoping he'd be getting a shot at the Coug head coaching job. That didn't happen, but he wishes nothing but the best for Kirby Moore. What will happen with the Michigan head coaching vacancy? Will Jedd leave Montlake? :30- The Old Judge is here! The honorable Cornelius Buckhole the 99th is presiding… - Bring on the rainy & windy weather on Thursday, it can only help the Seahawks against the Rams - Kirby Moore was the right hire for the Cougs - Murakami is on your Christmas wish list - Candy Cane is the Candy Corn of Christmas… :45- We close out the Tuesday show with one last thing!

RUNDOWN   Mitch opens Episode 362 with Danny O'Neil subbing in for an injured Hotshot Scott, then immediately pivots into Seahawks stress-testing: "a win is a win" vs. real offensive problems. Mitch and Danny joke about a bizarre LA Bowl unsportsmanlike call, then pivot to the Michigan vacancy and what it could mean for Jed Fisch (with Mitch arguing DeBoer's statement reads like a true "not leaving" while Fisch's sounds like a dodge). The segment then becomes a Seahawks therapy session: Mitch hates how they "punted the first half away," can't believe they needed six field goals to beat a limited Colts team, and points to first-down passing success as proof the staff has to help Sam Darnold with smarter sequencing. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens agree the Seahawks' 18–16 win over the Colts was one of the least satisfying victories imaginable, despite holding Indianapolis to just 215 total yards and improving to 11–3 . The conversation centers on chronic first-half offensive failures, Sam Darnold's uneven play being compounded by penalties and play-calling, and a defense that continues to carry the team. Neuheisel explains how his Washington State candidacy stalled after an initial Zoom interview with a search committee, never reaching the school president despite strong booster support, and reflects candidly on the likelihood he won't get another head-coaching opportunity. The conversation pivots to the chaos surrounding Michigan's vacancy, with Neuheisel analyzing why Jed Fisch's Harbaugh ties could complicate his candidacy and why DeBoer, Dillingham, or even NFL names may factor in. A visit from the KJArntz with Jason Puckett, who gleefully roasts him for failing to ask Rick Neuheisel about the Washington State job and then dives headfirst into college football chaos, speculating on ripple effects from Michigan's vacancy and Lane Kiffin's unique ability to torch multiple fanbases at once. The conversation veers into darkly comic sports misfortune, including Indiana losing a star defender during postgame celebrations, before shifting to hoops, where Puck raves about witnessing generational high school and college basketball talent up close.   GUESTS   Daniel Timothy O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Jason Puckett | Host, The Daily Puck Drop; Co-host of KJArntz   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Hotshot Scott late scratch, Danny O'Neill gets the spot start—plus Seahawks angst, birthday trivia, and a quick detour into the origins of MLB free agency. 13:45 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 18:13 | LA Bowl silliness to Michigan coaching rumors—then Mitch unloads on an "unsatisfying" Seahawks win and why the Rams line makes no sense. 39:38 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Defense dominates, offense sputters: Seahawks escape Colts but spark concern ahead of Rams showdown. 59:44 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Rick Neuheisel breaks down his Washington State interview, the Michigan mess, and playoff matchups across college football. 1:26:55 | GUEST: Puck; Puck unloads on Mitch's Neuheisel miss, spins Michigan chaos scenarios, and marvels at elite hoops talent. 1:45:42 | Other Stuff Segment: Jorge Polanco leaving the Mariners for the Mets, Jerry Dipoto and Mariners payroll philosophy, Mariners infield offensive concerns, Sharon Moore firing at Michigan, Adam Schefter's comments defending Sharon Moore, tone-deaf media responses to misconduct allegations, consequences vs adversity framing, Jed Fish fit at Michigan, potential Jed Fish departure from Washington, Huskies fan reaction to coaching turnover, Quentin Jammer admitting to playing NFL games drunk, substance abuse and accountability in pro sports, Cam Newton reacting to Colts signing Philip Rivers, quarterback entitlement and ego, Philip Rivers–Shane Steichen relationship, Ryan Seacrest football stadium naming, Seacrest's alleged high school football toughness, celebrity philanthropy credibility, Kyle Whittingham stepping down at Utah, underrated college football coaches, age and coaching viability, Milana Vayntrub selling photos for wildfire relief, OnlyFans-style philanthropy, Oregon nude calendar fundraiser, discomfort vs charity ethics

On today' Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore spend a lot of time discussing whether or not Rick Neuheisel would be a good fit at Washington State.  Jim is all on board with the hire, but Puck is concerned about the packaged deal with his son Jerry.  Jim contends they need a splash and money more than anything else, but Puck thinks it's all about wins and culture that will carry the team.  Puck discusses Boise State and was shocked to learn that they only spend $2 million in NIL.  How come they are so much more successful than the Cougs with a lesser NIL deal?  Puck and Jim also discuss Phillip Rivers coming back to face the Seahawks, winter meetings update with the M's and Jorge Polanco and Puck went and watched the number-one player in America for high school basketball, senior Tyran Stokes of Rainier Beach and reported back that you better catch him now! Puck wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Jorge Polanco needs to be a priority. (1:00) Puck and Jim (1:14:00)  “Hey, What the Puck!”

Yesterday we spoke with Rick Neuheisel and got straight down to business about whether or not he was going to be the next head coach of WSU football. Would Neuheisel be a good fit and should the Cougs at least be considering Coach or someone like him? :30- It seems like the Seahawks face an extraordinary number of backup quarterbacks and haven't always had a lot of luck against them, but how accurate is that? :45- Aikman is done with NIL, how long before others follow?

This week's episode is loaded with drama, debates, and deep-dive reactions from a massive weekend across college football. We start with rapid-fire recaps from around the country — including Alabama vs. Georgia, Texas Tech vs. BYU, Duke vs. Virginia, and Ohio State vs. Indiana — plus Nick breaks out his three favorite OSU FG's of all time. Then we turn to the College Football Playoff rankings and the controversies they created. Did Notre Dame deserve a spot? Should Alabama have snuck in? And with two Group of 5 teams making the field, is this the new normal or a one-year fluke? We also react to the chaos in South Bend after the Notre Dame athletic director blasted the ACC and the Irish announced they're skipping their bowl game. Smart move or a terrible message? Next, we go bowl shopping. Outside the CFP, there are some legitimately great matchups on the slate — including Michigan vs. Texas in the Citrus Bowl, Iowa vs. Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl, Boise State vs. Washington in the LA Bowl, Penn State vs. Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl, Georgia Tech vs. BYU in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and a sneaky-good Arizona vs. SMU showdown in the Holiday Bowl. Finally, we close with Rick Neuheisel's bold prediction that bowl games will eventually become the first games of the season. Is he out of his mind… or ahead of the curve? It's playoff takes, bowl mania, and wall-to-wall college football — let's go.

On Tuesday's   Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett opens up the show with the latest rumor regarding the Washington State Cougars coaching search and it involved University of Texas co-defensive coordinator and former WSU linebacker Johnny Nansen.  How much would that move the needle for the Cougs or do they need to make a splashier hire?  John Canzano from JohnCanzano.compays a visit to talk about the Jimmy Rogers departure, what's next for WSU, are Chip Kelly and Rick Neuheisel options and did the college football playoff committee get it right with their final rankings?  Danny Kelly, The Ringer, joins Puck to talk all things NFL and they chat about Pete Carroll's decision to kick a late field goal that effected the spread in their loss to Denver, Sam Darnold's Atlanta performance, Mike Macdonald's young hungry defense and grandfather Phillip Rivers is coming back to the NFL! “On This Day…”   Larry Bird's streak, Ohtani's contract, and one of the best actors has a birthday! Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   WSU needs to get the next hire right! (1:00) Puck (5:24) John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com (48:29) Danny Kelly, The Ringer (1:22:58) “On this Day….” (1:24:27)  “Hey, What the Puck!?”

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, spend the majority of the show discussing Jimmy Rogers bolting for Iowa State and what's next for Washington State.  Jim is all on board with Rick Neuheisel, but Puck doesn't see it or want it.  Puck believes they should go all in on Brent Vigen, the Montana State head coach.  What about Luke Falk? Both Puck and Jim agree that would be a stretch. Whoever they hire they just want someone who loves Pullman and Washington State. They briefly touch in on the Harry Ford trade and wonder why he didn't return more and it spoke volumes how the rest of the league views him.  And, did Pete Carroll just sound the alarms on betting in the NFL on he coached in their loss to the Broncos on Sunday by kicking a last second field goal to cover the spread?Puck talks Seahawks, “The Dugar Report” with Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic.  It's another dominating Seahawks defensive performance.  Sam Darnold started shaky but was sensational in the second half and it was finally the breakout game for Rashid Shaheed.  “On This Day…”   George Washington, Pearl Harbor, John Glenn and Jeff George are all in the news. Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?”   Commitment and loyalty is over in college athletics.  (1:00) Puck and Jim (1:17:18) Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic  (1:44:24) “On this Day…”  (1:46:50) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

RICK NEUHEISEL (CBS Sports) We have officially gotten college football all over ourselves after last weekend and this weekend is shaping up to be even more exciting. The final CFP rankings come out Sunday after the conference championships and we sure hope they don't mess with this right away. Texas, Notre Dame, Miami & Alabama, who makes it? What does Coach think about the Lane Kiffin situation and how can college football fix this moving forward? This weekend is conference championship weekend, so: Can Bama beat Georgia again? Which team in the Big Ten is better; Ohio State or Indiana? Is there really a chance that the ACC doesn't get any representation in the CFP at all? :30- The Ol Judge is in the house, kind of….. - Here's a thought, LSU might not even be a better job than Ole Miss - When Jalen Sundell gets healthy, he should play immediately, but not at center- he should replace Bradford at guard - The Mariners should trade for Brendan Donovan instead of re-signing Jorge Polanco - People need to give fruitcake another try… :45- We close out the Tuesday show with one last thing!

RUNDOWN   We're celebrating the start of Year 8 of Mitch Unfiltered! Mitch checks in from Las Vegas—oddly with zero urge to gamble—while Hotshot breaks down his old roulette system and the painful bad beat that once drove him out of Vegas for years. Mitch and Hotshot geek out over the new Eddie Murphy documentary, then Mitch tells his favorite 10-seconds-of-fame story — yelling a deep-cut sketch line to Murphy at a 1985 stand-up show and getting singled out from the stage. They pivot to the Seahawks' 30–24 "no-win" win in Nashville, weighing how worried to be about letting a 30–10 lead shrink, while marveling at Jaxon Smith-Njigba's obscene pace (already breaking the single-season franchise yardage mark in 11 games) and explaining why Rams-Bucs, common opponents, and divisional records mean Seattle may need both a win over the 49ers and help from the lowly Cardinals to take the NFC West. Steve Phillips joins Mitch to unpack Seattle's near–World Series run — from Julio Rodríguez's late-season surge to the Game 7 choices that doomed the Mariners, including pulling George Kirby too early and avoiding Andrés Muñoz in the highest-leverage spot. He explains why modern analytics can mislead managers, why Aaron Judge rightfully edged Cal Raleigh for MVP despite East Coast conspiracy theories, and why extending Josh Naylor was the right call even if the back-end years sting. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle's 30–24 win over the Titans — a game that was far closer than it should've been against the NFL's worst roster. They dissect the defensive lapses (two long late TD drives, missed tackles, fatigue), Sam Darnold's clean but risky performance (a couple near-picks, heavy JSN dependence), and a quietly emerging run game anchored by Walker and Charbonnet. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to reset the entire college football landscape heading into rivalry week — from Washington's shot at a season-defining upset over Oregon to the seismic consequences of an eight-win finish versus nine. He breaks down the transfer-portal era attrition at programs like UCLA, the SEC's multi-team playoff math (with Alabama's "brand advantage"), and why chaos in Austin, Baton Rouge, and Oxford could reshape the playoff bracket if Lane Kiffin jumps jobs before December 3rd.   GUESTS   Steve Phillips | Former Mets GM & MLB Analyst (SiriusXM / MLB Network) Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Turns 8 (Seasons), Vegas Without Gambling, and a Birthday Tour Through Sports, History… and Freddie Mercury 12:00 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 16:09 | Eddie Murphy, Clint, and a Nervy 8–3: Seahawks Survive Titans While JSN Flirts with 2,000 Yards 40:55 | GUEST: Steve Phillips; Steve Phillips on the Mariners' Game 7 Collapse, Cal Raleigh's MVP Near-Miss, and Seattle's Offseason Decisions 1:05:13 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Escape Tennessee, Move to 8–3, and Reveal Both Promise and Warning Signs in Nashville 1:27:51 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Rick Neuheisel on Washington–Oregon Stakes, Lane Kiffin Chaos, and a Wild Final Push Toward the Playoff 2:01:20 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL players spitting incidents (Jalen Carter, Jamar Chase, Jalen Ramsey, Boise State, massive fines for spitting), Mariners non-tender Gregory Santos after almost never pitching, questions about how MLB trade physicals get passed, Dodgers Game 7 World Series home run balls (Miguel Rojas, Will Smith) both caught by same father/son and later underperforming at auction, Lane Kiffin's reported choice between Ole Miss, LSU, and Florida with a 7-year $98M deal and $25M/year in NIL money, UW women's soccer upsets #1 Virginia 10v11, Belichick family blowup, Chris Paul announces plans to retire after the 25–26 season and reflects on a Hall of Fame point guard career, Boris Becker (age 58) welcomes baby daughter, Kevin Spacey claims to be essentially homeless and working as a lounge singer in Cyprus, Ace Frehley's famous smoking sunburst Les Paul goes up for auction, RIPs: Rodney Rogers — Wake Forest star and 12-year NBA forward, dies at 54, Jellybean Johnson — drummer for The Time, dies at 69, Randy "Junkman" Jones — Padres legend, dies after a long career in and around baseball, HEADLINEs: Airport bulge turns out to be two endangered parakeets, Interstate flasher "needed excitement", Two Texas men plot to invade a Haitian island and enslave everyone, Failed threesome leads woman to beat up her boyfriend, Study says Viagra may help with hearing loss.

On Tuesday's   Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett starts off the Tuesday show with Puck's thoughts on the Josh Naylor deal, five years $92.5 million.  It's a great start for the Mariners this offseason, but it can't be the only move the Mariners make.  Puck then welcomes John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com on the show to cover college football.   They chat about what Rick Neuheisel's  role should be in college football, because he's too good just to be on television.  What's next at Oregon State on the coaching search, and does it include Neuheisel or is Oregon State looking at former Cougars head coach Nick Rolovich?  The Pac-12 has a new media deal with USA Network, is it good enough?  The Big Ten equity plan is on hold, will it ever happen and why was Washington reportedly in the third tier of the revenue plan?  Lastly, will Oregon win easily this weekend against USC?Danny Kelly, The Ringer joins Puck to talk the growing narrative around Sam Darnold, Mike Macdonald's dominating defense, Seahawks fans feelings toward Darnold and the unfortunate injury to Falcons quarterback Michael Penix. Former Seahawks defensive back Paul Moyer joins Puck to discuss the passing of his teammate Kenny Easley.  Paul reflects on their friendship and what made Easley so dominant as a football player. “On This Day…” Puck celebrates one of the best holiday movies ever made! Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   (1:00) Puck (6:52) John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com (43:32) Danny Kelly, The Ringer (1:12:46) Paul Moyer on the passing of Kenny Easley (1:24:06) “On this Day….”  (1:29:00) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

RUNDOWN   Mitch solves last week's "mafia lookalike" mystery — listeners decide he's a dead ringer for The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli. The guys riff through Goodfellas lore, Seahawks' second straight blowout win, and Von Miller's hilarious regret about choosing Washington over Seattle ("it's like turning down a girl who became a movie star"). Heartfelt condolences to the family of Lenny Wilkens, celebrating the Hall of Famer's legacy as both player and coach — and his decades as the Pacific Northwest's ultimate basketball statesman. Then it's back to football as the guys revel in another stress-free Seahawks blowout, highlighted by two identical sack-fumble touchdowns from Tyrese Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence. Mitch welcomes back Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for another Seahawks No-Table after a 44-22 dismantling of the Cardinals. The crew marvels at a team that suddenly looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, while debating the sloppy second half and the emerging run-game breakthrough. They dig into injury updates on Ernest Jones, and Jarran Reed, the trade for Rashid Shaheed, and the defense's uncanny "next-man-up" magic under Mike Macdonald. Mitch reconnects with Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a wild week in college football — starting with Washington's shocking collapse in Madison. Rick calls it a "disaster," offers perspective on Jed Fisch's road woes, and shares how leadership, not logistics, separates winners from whiners. From there, the conversation races across the national landscape: Penn State's heartbreak at Happy Valley, Texas Tech's oil-fueled rise, and which Group of Five team might crash the playoff. Then Neuheisel dives into Lincoln Riley's number-swap trickery — calling it "legal but unethical" — before handing out Taco Time honors. Mitch reconvenes the Seattle Kraken No-Table with RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers of Emerald City Hockey for the team's first check-in of the season. Despite a solid early record and a near-top Pacific Division standing, the panel wonders how sustainable it really is. RJ notes that the offense remains among the league's weakest, while Dylan credits new head coach Lane Lambert for installing a defense-first system that maximizes effort and structure.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion RJ Eskanos | Co-Founder, Emerald City Hockey Dylan Travers | Analyst, Emerald City Hockey   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Mafia Mitch to Cher in Fresno — Episode 357 Starts with a Bang 14:40 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 19:20 | From Lenny's Legacy to Mr. Playoffs: Seahawks Roll to 7–2 and Dream of the NFC's Top Seed 35:17 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Déjà Vu Defense: Two Scoop-and-Scores, a Surging Run Game, and Seattle's NFC Statement Win 57:53 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Disaster in Madison, Trickery in L.A., and Oil-Money Football: Rick Neuheisel Dares to Dip 1:29:42 | GUEST: Kraken No-Table; Effort, Defense, and a Little Luck: Can the Kraken Keep Floating Above the Ice? 1:49:57 | Other Stuff Segment: Sydney Sweeney's boyfriend "Scooter", Mariners free agency (Josh Naylor, Eugenio Suárez, Mitch Garver, bullpen decisions), debate on re-signing Suárez vs. internal options, Matt Kalil divorce/CamSoda "offer" saga, USC's Sam Huard fake-punt jersey trick, Mark Sanchez fired by FOX & replaced by Drew Brees, Erik Spoelstra house fire note, Antonio Brown arrest & attempted murder charges, Indiana volleyball assistant coach gambling infractions, Guardians pitchers betting scandal & "is everything rigged?" angst RIPs: Mia Hammond (21-year-old Washington women's soccer goalkeeper), Paul Tagliabue (former NFL commissioner), Marshawn Kneeland (Cowboys DE, 24), Victor Conte (BALCO figure), Dick Cheney (former U.S. Vice President), Diane Ladd (Oscar-nominated actress) HEADLINES: Donald Trump "deny visas to fat people" bit, Dave Ramsey's "15–20 houses for God" rant, Kim Kardashian underwear with built-in pubic hair, Matt Kalil "two Coke cans" closer gag

RUNDOWN   Is Mitch secretly a MOBSTER? The guys ride the high of a Seahawks blowout while fretting an Earnest Jones IV injury and torching D.C.'s awful turf, then rip through birthday/lore nuggets. An unforgettable World Series finish, seen through a Seattle lens—taking petty joy in Toronto's collapse while admitting Game 7 (and the under-discussed, error-filled Game 6) will haunt Mariners fans for years. Then it's all Seahawks: a near-perfect beatdown in D.C., vintage throwback uniforms, and why John Schneider should chase help at WR/OL/LB before the deadline. Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle's 38–14 primetime rout of Washington — a game where both sides of the ball finally clicked. They discuss Sam Darnold's near-perfect night (one of only four 97+ QBRs in the NFL this season — three belonging to him), Mike Macdonald's astounding 11–1 road record, and the play-calling brilliance driving the offense. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to break down a wild week in college football — from the bloated buyouts fueling a $160 million coaching carousel to Washington's unlikely playoff path. The two dive into quarterback drama, "alma mater alimony," and the rise of dual-threat sensation Demond Williams, before wrapping with Taco Time's weekly honors — including a nod to Oklahoma's kicker and his unforgettable Daisy Duke game-day look. Christian Caple joins Mitch to assess the Huskies' 6–2 season and the playoff math that could still put Washington in the 12-team field if they run the table. He breaks down the defense's ability to hang with Oregon, the tricky stretch at UCLA, and how Jed Fish's success could make him a hot-commodity coach with a star quarterback in tow.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Christian Caple | UW Football Insider, On Montlake   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Gets Mistaken for a Mobster, Hotshot's Arrest-Video Obsession, and a Giddy Seahawks Sunday 20:12 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 27:48 | Mariners Heartbreak, Dodgers Relief, and a Seahawks Surge with Trade-Deadline Stakes 46:58 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Dominate in D.C. — Darnold's Surge, McDonald's Mastery, and a 6–2 Statement 1:09:20 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; on the Coaching Carousel, Playoff Chaos, and the Short Shorts Heard 'Round the Nation 1:41:08 | GUEST: Christian Caple: on Washington's Playoff Chances, Jed Fish's Future, and the Rise of Demond Williams Jr. 2:04:56 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL 68-yard field goal record (JAX kicker Cam Little), NBA gambling/poker scandal (prop bets, x-ray glasses, star player tax lien), Pittsburgh radio host loses bet and gets nipple piercings, Scott Woodward's AD buyout saga (Jimbo Fisher, Brian Kelly, LSU governor, Woodward payout), Robert Englund gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star (Freddy Krueger story), Adrian Peterson's latest DWI and weapon arrest, Phil Mickelson insider-info case echoes 2016 SEC probe, RIPs: Bob Trumpy — Bengals TE/longtime NBC broadcaster (80), Carol Davis — Raiders co-owner, widow of Al Davis (93), Yoervis Medina — former Mariners/Cubs pitcher (37), Nick Mangold — former Jets center (41), Ace Frehley — original KISS guitarist, Dwayne Roberts — inventor of the frozen burrito (88), HEADLINEs: Breathing through our butts proven safe — Mitch Levy's been talking out his ass for years, GQ says "Nut Maxers" aim for maximum output — I was hoping it was a candy bar, MSN reports boob jobs are shrinking — so no more inflation, Detroit cop appears pantless in court — didn't stand up well, Customers sue On shoes for squeaks — my mom should've sued my dad first.
