Feels like the Seminole Tribe of Florida threw money at Messi before knowing what to do with him.

These line-ups only feed the perception that baseball is lame and white.

Idea: A similar music festival during NBA Summer League.

We are not talking enough about how Michael Rapaport was eliminated from the current season of The Masked Singer for singing "Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy and "Beverly Hills" by Weezer.

How has no one yet invented a Halloween candy ATM to combat an absentee "take one" bowl being cleaned out?

A portable ATM that dispenses one piece of candy at a time and can identify abusers via camera.

Halloween Prank Idea: A trick-or-treater enters a Starbucks and cleans out all the mobile orders waiting to be picked up.

Some Biden aides have long noted that he eats "like a child," with a food palette that skews beige.

His favorite dishes include peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, BLT's, pizza, cookies, spaghetti with butter and red sauce, and ice cream that he occasionally makes into a full sundae, according to current and former Biden aides.

On Friday while visiting D.C.'s Taqueria Habanero, Biden ordered churros and a chicken quesadilla.

A teetotaler, he often drinks orange Gatorade. [source]

Imagine becoming the head chef at the White House and having to serve McDonald's and well-done steak with ketchup to Trump, and buttered noodles and orange Gatorade to Biden.

2024: No films, no television shows, and Trump being re-elected.

I'm not sure the producers of Hell's Kitchen really thought out this season's "American dream" theme.

The American dream is all about getting knocked down and getting back up again. If past seasons of Hell's Kitchen have taught us anything, it's that these chefs will certainly get knocked down during their process of becoming great under Gordon Ramsay's guidance.

[a female guitarist appears to just play the first six notes of "The Star-Spangled Banner"]

"Growing up in Queens, New York, I dreamed of changing the way women were viewed in male-dominated industries. And now, I'm Lobos 1717 CEO Dia Simms, and my American dream came true."

[cheers and applause]

"Dia Simms, the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company, walks out. It's unreal to know that I am in the presence of true greatness."

—

"Winning Hell's Kitchen IS the American dream."

—

"In this special season, Chef Ramsay will inspire them in ways he has never done before, as he uses uniquely American themes, American success stories, to test them and push them to their limits."

"And while at times, it will be a celebration of the USA, it is also the fiercest, most intense competition ever."

After meeting some inspirational American icons including boxer Oscar De La Hoya and country music superstar Martina McBride, the winning team will be rewarded with a private dinner party.

[a black choir sings "America the Beautiful"]

The contestants serve an All-American brunch to new American citizens.

"In this morning's American dream speed brunch challenge…"

—

"And just like cheerleading is very American, you're gonna be cooking inspired, elevated takes on American comfort foods."

The evening's dinner service is attended by actor Dolph Lundgren.

The Chefs go head-to-head in a soccer-themed cuisine fusion challenge with legend Alexi Lalas.
