It’s hard for any team to go undefeated no matter the sport or level of the league. It’s even more challenging when the team is up against something beyond just wining games.
This is exactly the case with “The Cubs”, an undefeated varsity football team in California. They’ve been all over the news lately because all of the players are deaf. The players rely on sign language which competing, and somehow they have gone 12 and 0 so far this year.
This is a team who hasn’t even had a winning record in the last seven years. If they can win their next game this Saturday, it will be the first division title in ANY sport in the school’s 68-year history! Unreal.
I for one will absolutely be cheering them on this weekend.

It’s going to happen to all of us on Thursday right around an hour after your second helping of turkey. Eyes start to get heavy, the couch gets a little more comfy, the traditional post-meal nap! All thanks to turkey. But why?
Turkey contains something called L-tryptophan. Which is an amino acid linked with sleep. It encourages serotonin production in your brain that in turn makes you feel relaxed and sleepy.
While turkey has a ton of L-tryptophan, it’s not the only food that has it. Any high-protein food you eat on a regular basis, like other meats, cheese, nuts can have the same effect. So any of those Thanksgiving cheese boards could be the culprit too.
Happy napping!

Nathan and Stephanie are hosting a big Thanksgiving gathering at their home this year and Stephanie has high hopes of having an electronic free day. There are so many teenagers (between their kids, nieces, nephews, etc.) that she wants to ban phones and TV from the dinner table. Nathan says it’s asking for problems, their guests and it’s supposed to be a fun day. Why put restrictions on them? Let them just enjoy it… plus, he wants to watch football while they eat. Whose side are you on? (35:47)

Adele has been all over the news lately. Her new album 30 came out last week, she did the Oprah interview/concert a few weeks ago, and now she’s going viral for what happened on Sunday night.
Adele was doing a pre-recorded concert special over in the UK called “An Audience With Adele” when the interviewer asked her if there was anyone in her past who had supported her, inspired her or protected her from life’s trials and tribulations. Adele mentioned her English teacher Miss McDonald who got her into English Literature which lead to being obsessed with English and writing lyrics.
Then… they brought the teacher out on stage! Adele had not seen her in 20 years and instantly broke down in tears. Usually it’s Adele surprising her fans on stage, now someone turned the surprise on her.
What an amazing moment.

What started in 1989 with President Geroge H. W. Bush has now become an annual Thanksgiving tradition at the White House… the pardoning of the turkeys.
Last Friday President Biden pardoned two turkey’s, “Peanut Butter” and “Jelly”. Cute. But what happens to the turkey’s after their pardoned? Over the years there are a few different adventures these turkey’s have had.
In 2005 and 2009 they went to Disneyland and Walt Disney World to be the grand marshals in the Thanksgiving parades. In 2010 and 2013 they vacationed at Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate.
No word yet what Peanut Butter and Jelly will be doing this year. But at least they’ve been pardoned.
