And here's some more good news: Super Bowl snacks will cost almost the same as last year, according to Wells Fargo's analysis of Nielsen data.

10 bizarre things people secretly love the smell of (but won't admit)
These scents are 'gross' to most people—but secretly adored by many. Let's face it — we all have that one 'gross' smell we weirdly enjoy. Sure, society might wrinkle their nose, but to us? It's pure nostalgia. Or maybe we're just a little strange. Either way, you're in good company. I stumbled across a hilarious thread asking: 'What's a smell you enjoy that most people consider bad?' The answers were a delightful mess of 'Wait, what?' and 'OMG, SAME.' Here are some of my favorites: 1. Puppy Breath It's not for everyone, but a few brave souls admitted they love that sweet, milky little puff of air from a baby pup. (Personally, I thought everyone loved this, though?!) 2. Fresh-Cut Hay & Saddle Leather If it smells like a barn, apparently it's heaven to a lot of folks. Horse sweat, cow manure, even chicken coops—pure comfort scents for some. 3. Gasoline & Exhaust Fumes Yes, people actually like the smell of gas stations. And old car exhaust? "Smells like freedom." (This smell makes me want to barf!) 4. The 'Frito Feet' Phenomenon If you know, you know. Dog paws = corn chips. And some people can't get enough of it. 5. Skunks (but just a hint) A whiff of skunk in the distance is oddly pleasant for a surprising number of people. Not roadkill level—just a faint breeze of eau de Pepe Le Pew. 6. Your Own Farts We're going there. Multiple people shamelessly admitted that their own brand doesn't stink. "It's not bad when it's yours!"… allegedly. 7. The Post-Rain Asphalt That wet, steamy asphalt smell after a rain shower? Some folks said it smells like childhood memories. 8. Play-Doh & Mimeograph Paper Who needs essential oils when you can crack open a can of Play-Doh? Also, a shoutout to those who miss the blue-ink chemical bliss of old-school mimeograph machines. 9. Bleach in the Bathroom One person called this the 'smell of clean.' Another said it's their equivalent of a spa day. Who are we to judge? 10. Welding Metal, Shoe Polish & Blown-Out Candles An entire mini-category of industrial and oddly specific smells that people admitted to loving. And let's be honest, it's not just smells that spark these kinds of 'wait, what?' moments. The foods we eat, the strange laws we never knew existed, even how we act at the beach—there's no shortage of quirky things we think are totally normal (but really aren't). If you enjoyed this, you might also get a kick out of reading about the foods Europeans eat that Americans find bizarre, the strange U.S. laws that are somehow still a thing, and how most Americans think they have perfect beach etiquette—but 92% are kidding themselves.

Conservatives mock Comey over Taylor Swift video
Conservatives are mocking former FBI Director James Comey over a post he made on his Substack on Sunday in which he discussed his admiration for pop superstar Taylor Swift. The post features a video of Comey calling Swift 'a truly inspirational public figure' and noting her recent appearance on NFL stars' Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast 'New Heights.' 'Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago. I've been to a second and I have helped financially support the attendance of a lot of family members and others. I'm in a family's Swiftie group chat. I know all her music, and I listen to it in my headphones when I cut the grass,' Comey said in the video. In response to Comey's video, conservative personality Benny Johnson said that 'A new James Comey hostage video just dropped.' 'This time he calls himself a 'Swiftie' and says Taylor Swift helps him cope with Donald Trump. You really can't make this up,' Johnson added in a Sunday post on the social platform X. In the Comey video, the former FBI director also states that 'we need to stand up to jerks and defend what matters, but I think we have to try to do that without becoming like them, which is what makes me think about Taylor Swift.' 'She's made clear that she sees Donald Trump for what he is, and last year, she urged Americans not to make the serious mistake of electing him,' Comey added. 'Of course, we're now living with the consequences of that mistake, but while our elderly makeup- covered president is posting about whether Taylor Swift is still hot and declaring that he can't stand her, what's she doing? Living her best life.' Conservative commentator Dinesh D'Souza also said on X Sunday that Comey was attempting 'now to come across as a normal guy, a Taylor Swift fan, and a champion of civility and decorum' in the wake of 'using his power for years to entrap Trump, Flynn and others.' The Hill has reached out to a representative for Comey and the White House for comment. Comey was fired as FBI director by Trump during his first term, and the two have feuded for years. Earlier this year, Comey made waves when he posted an image of shells on a seashore spelling out '86 47.' He deleted the post after criticism, saying he did not recognize it as something that could be seen as promoting violence toward the president. Comey's daughter, Maureen Comey, was fired in July from her job as a prosecutor for the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). The firing was largely seen as politically motivated given Trump's feelings for Comey and his desire for loyalists throughout his administration. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Khalen Saunders traded from Saints to Jaguars on same day he played Jaguars for Saints
Player for player trades are rare in the NFL these day. But the players having gone against one another on the same day? Even if it was a preseason Week 2 tie, that still has to be like seeing a bald eagle. The New Orleans Saints sent defensive tackle Khalen Saunders to the Jacksonville Jaguars for center Luke Fortner on Sunday, Aug. 17, after the two teams tied at 17. Saunders and Fortner still managed to end the day as enemies despite switching teams. Saunders won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs prior to starting 27 of 30 possible games over the last two seasons for the Saints. He started for the Saints on Sunday. Fortner entered for the Jaguars as a backup. Saunders had one of the most notable moments in prime time during the 2024 season. During the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs, Saunders picked off Patrick Mahomes while dropping into coverage in the end zone late in the third quarter. Saunders, listed at 325 pounds, rumbled 37 yards up the field before being brought down. Coincidentally enough, his brother, Kameron Saunders, was a backup dancer for Taylor Swift on the "Eras Tour." Khalen Saunders was a third-round pick by the Chiefs in 2019 and spent his first four seasons of his career with the team. During the offseason, the Saints bolstered the defensive line by trading for Davon Godchaux and signing Jonathan Bullard. Fortner is a fourth-year guard from the University of Kentucky who lost his starting spot last season and is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
