A little of this and a little of that

 Cam Newton might not be starting for New England vs. the Jests next Sunday, and he surely won't be back in a Patriot uniform for the 2021 season.

Newton was sent to the bench again Monday after performing ineffectively in a 38-9 blowout loss to the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills. For the Bills, it is a rare season sweep of the Patriots, something that hasn't happened since the 90's, and it's the first time either of the Patriots' AFC East rivals, be it Miami or the Jests, have swept them since 2000.

I guess Greek yogurt and Subway do not mix well.

After reaching the playoffs this year, the San Diego Padres are poised to try to get there again in 2021.

To that end, the Padres made a pair of trades the last couple of days. First, they made another deal with the AL champion Tampa Bay Rays, having sent Hunter Renfroe to Tampa last off-season, this time acquiring Tampa ace Blake Snell. Then, San Diego heisted Yu Darvish away from the Chicago Cubs. The message is being sent to not only the NL West, but to everyone else. These Pads mean business.

It will be an embarrassment to the NFL if the Washington Deviants win the NFC Least next Sunday night by beating Philadelphia. I just can't see the Lombardi Trophy being given on February 7 to the "Washington Football Team" after a sub-.500 season.

CNN's Jake Tapper pulled no punches on another CNN program by castigating the Duchess of Dumb, Kayleigh McEnany, by saying he'd never book her on his State of The Union for being a chronic liar.

Brian Tyler Cohen explains:

Someone should Rick-roll Kayleigh with Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry". Just sayin'.

WWE's Money in The Bank has officially jumped the shark.

How, you might ask?

After the Miz (Michael Mizanin, Miz & Mrs., Cannonball) scammed the briefcase away from Otis in October, his tag team partner, John Morrison (Hennegan), acting as a proxy, we all assumed, cashed in the case at TLC 9 days ago so that Miz could enter what would now be a 3-way match against champion Drew McIntyre and challenger AJ Styles. McIntyre retained.

24 hours later, it dawns on the two scammers that, technically, Miz didn't directly cash in the case, so he still has a claim to it, and last night, the case was returned to him, all because, in the storyline, USA Network "has a lot invested" in Miz, to the point where they seemingly took a bribe to have Mandy Rose (Amanda Saccomanno) moved from Smackdown to Raw, and subsequently drafted to Team Red, as a means of weakening Mandy's storyline honey, Otis, who subsequently lost the case in a match.

Sorry, but that's unacceptable!!!

Creative fumbled the ball on this one many times over. Miz clearly resorted to bribery to get what he wanted, but isn't being properly punished. Instead of going with the obvious and accepting that Morrison was a proxy, which technically would mean that Miz is SOL as far as the briefcase is concerned, the scribbling idiots under the direction of Vince McMahon & Bruce Prichard decided to reset the briefcase with Miz. This diminishes the value of the briefcase to nearly nothing. Zilch! Nada! It isn't going to be worth it to have a Money in The Bank PPV going forward.
