i know that the months leading up to the lexus december to remember sales event are an exciting time for many of you. it used to be for me, but most dealerships won't let me attend services because i named my kid toyotathon. they won't even let me wield the sceptre. i just thought it was a cool name

this, 2014 andrew luck's fumble recovery, and marcus mariota's self-completion are the three most bewildering qb scramble touchdowns i've ever seen in the nfl. all three happened against the chiefs
