Called the local Honda dealer for service + recall + climate control malfunction. I request a human because they need to order the parts for my appt. I get an automated msg “we’re sorry. Due to high call volume and staffing shortages we’re unable to take your call.”

Dear NFL and sportswriters, Can we please make a New Year’s resolution not to use meaningless, cherry-picked stats just for the sake of saying an athlete created a new record? For example, “he was the first QB to have 3,600 pass yards, 22 TDs, 600 rush yards, and 215 first downs.” Please stop.

Travis Kelce taunts opposing team in front of the ref after Mahomes score touchdown. No penalty. Bills Jordan Phillips steps in to confront Kelce and gets a 15 yard unnecessary roughness penalty. These refs aren’t even trying to hide their bias for the Chiefs.
