1. Monday's "Wheel of Fortune" saw a cringeworthy debacle when one contestant solved the puzzle, but couldn't close the deal. The complete look of confusion and disbelief on the poor dude's face afterward made me want to hug him.
2. I've been watching the NFL for about 30 years and had no idea until today that a football is called, "The Duke." Anyone else?
3. Jon Gruden is a savage. According to this NFL.com story, the Raiders coach cut punter Marquette King shortly after King brought him a box of Snickers as welcome-aboard present.
