The Scoop for August 29, 2018

At a press conference yesterday, President Trump met with the President of the soccer organization FIFA, Gianni Infantino… and he explained the different cards referees use. Like the, you use the red card when you want to kick someone out of the game. Unfortunately, we don’t know what happened next, because President Trump red carded the entire room of reporters. We may never see them again.

Remember Johnny Football, Johnny Manziel? He was with the Cleveland Browns for a hot minute. He lasted two seasons and, well, sort of washed out. Now Johnny tells us one of the reasons he didn’t last very long. Quote, “I didn’t know how much hard workk you had to put in to be good.”
It’s amazing that being a highly paid professional, well, anything, might take some hard work. Crazy.

Here’s something I didn’t know. Michael Jackson once recorded an audiobook version of “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”. Note to self: google Michael Jackson ET Audio book… And done. *see belolw

Last night we found out that Simon Cowell isn’t as hardened as we thought. Yep. Simon was brought to tears. Crazy the advancements they’ve made in robots these days isn’t it? (See, because Simon is a hearless, insult slinging robot from the future.)

Bonus Scoopage:
Warner Bros. is developing Coyote vs. Acme as a Wile E. Coyote animated movie. The dialogue-free Coyote character first appeared in 1949 in Fast and Furry-ous, the first of 49 cartoons in which he was never able to catch the Road Runner, despite using complex devices from the fictitious Acme Corporation. The Acme contraptions invariably fail, leaving the Coyote squashed flat or burnt to a crisp.
