• NBC Sports drew big TV ratings for the Buffalo Bills hosting the Baltimore Ravens in Buffalo Sunday night. The advent of another NFL season reminds me to pass along this helpful medical advice. If you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning Super Bowls it's time to schedule that colonoscopy.
• The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Kansas City Chiefs in their season opener in a game played in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Anything could happen amid the nation's volatile political tensions. The crowd went wild on the first play when Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert overthrew the President of Brazil.
• The Hollywood Reporter says college football drew huge ratings last weekend for the networks and cable sports channels. In a Division II game of note, NFL former quarterback Michael Vick got his first win as a college coach on Saturday for Norfolk State. Please tell me their mascot is not the Bulldogs.
• The US Open finals pitted the world's number one Carlos Alcarez and the world's number two Jannik Sinner. I've been in the challenger's shoes. For years in Hollywood, I was the number 2 Sinner, behind Richard Pryor and later Charlie Sheen before my career in sin was tragically cut short by rehab.
• Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla arrived in Tunisia on Sunday where thousands of Tunisians cheered her speech as she heads for Gaza. She's accompanied by 650 pro-Palestinian activists. Greta demanded the creation of a Palestinian state so it can be destroyed by climate change in six years.
• President Trump told reporters Sunday that sending the National Guard to Chicago is common sense not war. Thousands of protesters turned out in Chicago Saturday evening to protest the National Guard being brought in to handle the crime epidemic. And while they were out, their homes were looted.
• Fox News reported a coalition of 500 protesters gathered in Chicago Saturday to demonstrate against ICE and any deployment of the National Guard. The city hasn't changed in 100 years. It's a fact that if you hold a slice of Chicago-style pizza up to your ear, you can hear the faint sound of gunfire.
• President Trump signed an order re-naming the Department of Defense the War Department Friday. It's his way of turning down the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2009 Barack Obama unexpectedly won the Nobel Peace Prize, and then he had to bomb seven Muslim countries just to prove he's not gay.
• President Trump was pilloried in the media for changing the Defense Department to the War Department. I see his thinking. The History Channel displayed a world map highlighting in red the only 22 countries that Great Britain never invaded, a clear indication that we've got to up our game.
• The Labor Department reported Friday that the number of foreign-born workers in the United States declined steeply in August. It so happens that the same day, an ICE raid in Georgia rounded up 485 illegal migrants at a Hyundai factory. You can watch this raid this week on Law and Order SUV.
• HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy was accused of endangering the lives of seniors during Senate hearings Thursday for firing the head of the CDC. Baby Boomers shrug off health warnings that are issued by the CDC anyway. If you drank Boone's Farm as a teenager, you are immune to any virus.
• The United Nations General Assembly gavels to order for its 80th annual session today in New York City where the delegates plan to focus this year on the plight of refugees. Boat people arrived by the hundreds today on the shores of North Korea, seeking greater freedom. They were from England.
• Afghanistan's Taliban foreign minister denounced UN sanctions that prevent him from flying abroad. The country is a comic opera now. Last night a 4-seater Cessna crashed into a cemetery in Afghanistan and so far, the rescue workers digging through the crash site have recovered 987 bodies.
