Jenna recently asked her followers and fans if she should upgrade her “32 triple D” boobs to something bigger. While hundreds of her fans responded – with over 80% urging her to not go through with it – one fan was so determined to stop her that he offered her $39-grand to stand down and keep her Ta-Ta’s  just the way they are.

A Nintendo theme park was already supposed to be open in Japan, but – like so many things – the schedule was set back because of the pandemic. Well, the park – Nintendo Super World – is now set to open in the spring of 2021. This place is designed to be a “life-size, living video game,” featuring rides, shops and restaurants. So now you can take your kids to a theme park and be ignored by them all day!

Told you yesterday that the Saints – Chargers game may be moved to Indianapolis on Monday night out to hurricane Delta. Now, the Missouri – LSU football game scheduled for Saturday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, will move to Columbia, Missouri, because of the hurricane bearing down on Louisiana.

Due to the fact that the Tennessee Titans have broken NFL Covid-19 protocols, growing sentiment  around the league feel the Titans should forfeit their season.

Under the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Titans players were prohibited from practicing together until it was deemed safe to do so. However, longtime NFL reporter Paul Kuharsky, who is based in Tennessee, reported a group of players held an informal workout at a lo.

cal Nashville high school.

ESPN reporting today that another Titan’s player has tested positive for corona virus bringing the total to 23 Titans players & staff testing positive since September 24.

Titans are scheduled to play the Bills this Sunday at 1. The game is off the board. 

Scheduling problem is, Buffalo is scheduled to host the Chiefs next Thursday, so rescheduling would be a nightmare with virtually NO time to prepare…stay tuned!
