James Franklin does what James Franklin does

It was a tough weekend getting ranked in college football. Losses, some of which came to other ranked teams, were spread left and right.

In fact, seven teams added losses to the rankings this weekend. Five of the seven losers had to play against teams that were not listed in the rankings. Something positive from the weekend.

There's nothing nicer than when a ranked team doesn't play against an unranked opponent. Speaking of no-shows, Penn State's offense was nowhere to be found on Saturday.

It was the biggest game of the weekend, No. 3 Penn State hosting No. 4 Ohio State. College GameDay and Big Noon Kickoff took place in Happy Valley for the game.

Clay was there, as was Trey Wallace from OutKick, Jason Kelce was also there to meet the students, and even my brothers made their way to State College for the game.

Beaver Stadium had a record attendance of 111,030. All of them – well, maybe not Kelce – witnessed what I like to call a James Franklin special, another loss in a big game.

There is no one who can do it better. With the loss, Franklin is now 1-10 against the Buckeyes. But as fun as this record is, it gets even worse against top-five opponents.

Franklin is 1-13 against Penn State's top-five opponents and 1-17 if you count his three seasons at Vanderbilt. Even with the best will in the world, the man can't win big games.

He doesn't have what it takes. After his last loss against the Buckeyes, he was booed in the tunnel and heard chants of “Fire Franklin.” It was just another Saturday in Happy Valley.

Oh, and we can't forget that exchange Franklin had with a fan.

After greeting the Penn State recruits in attendance as he left the field and letting them know, “You too could play in big games and lose them,” he once again proved that he is not cut out for the big games.

He was harassed by a fan/possible student and asked for his name. That's as gentle as a head coach can be.

You can't get a DUI while riding, not in the state of North Carolina

It would be easy to rely on me, but don't do that. You'll want to hear it from the mouth of a local cowboy who apparently hit a few before getting on his horse.

He doesn't need fancy apps like Uber if he already has them. No, he just grabs his trusty horse, jumps on and opens another one before running his errand.

Why, you ask? I'll let him tell you. At the start of the video, the man sitting on a horse with an open bottle in his hand confidently says, “You can't get a DUI on a horse in the state of North Carolina.”

When questioned about this, he simply replies, “Look it up!” He adds that he could get a DUI if he were to drive his buggy, which I assume is a horse-drawn carriage .

He looks and sounds like a guy who knows the law. Still, I decided to follow his suggestion and look it up. I googled, “Can you get a DUI for a horse in North Carolina?” and the answer was no.

According to Google, what the cowboy said is absolutely true.

You cannot get a DUI if you ride a horse while impaired in North Carolina. It turns out that horses are not included in the definition of a vehicle in the state's impaired driving laws.

There you have it. Ride, save an Uber or something like that.

Strange but great beer combination

Hello SeanJo,

Great screencaps today! I think a glazed donut with some bacon would be good, but I don't know if I would use that much bacon around it.

But it got me thinking about strange food combinations, or in this case, beer. I used to be a craft beer snob, but went back to drinking light beer when I realized I had a beer belly despite all the running and triathlons I do.

Anyway, Funky Buddha in Oakland Park, Florida had a legendary beer called Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. It was very hard to come by until they started selling more bottles at their big annual party in January of each year and throughout South Florida. They sold the brewery and unfortunately, in my opinion, the quality of the beer suffered. I heard the original owners recently bought it back and everything is back on track.

I will say this is one of my favorite beers.

SeanJo

There's a lot going on with this beer. Maple bacon and coffee? Did you want to have a breakfast beer here? If so, I respect the move.

I'm also happy to hear that you're a recovering craft beer snob. We need less of that.

Lily Allen

Last week I wrote about Lily Allen's claims that she makes more from selling feet pictures on OnlyFans than from the millions of listeners to her music on Spotify.

This touched Paul deeply in his heart. He watched a few issues of True Romance and decided to join in the discussion about Allen's feet pictures too.

Sean Jo,

This fits the file nicely (show it off if you have it). At least she doesn't have to give up the bigger treasures for profit, like most people on OnlyFans do – so that's a big win. Sex sells, and there is a whole world of people who invest a large portion of their disposable income into satisfying fetishes and other related desires. But it's kind of funny how her podiatrist was the source of inspiration for taking this opportunity on OnlyFans. WikiFeet? LOL. Who knew?

But if I had her star power, I would like to know how her profit is calculated when she has 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify. How would I know if I was getting a fair deal for my work based on my star power if I didn't have this glitch? As an example, I guarantee you that Taylor Swift's business model would account for every penny of her monthly listenership on Spotify, and when you're an artist as good as Lily Allen, she owes it to herself to know her value on these streamings Websites.

Preferably,

Another top notch game tape breakdown here from Paul. I don't know what's going on in Saint Paul these days, but he gets it. Keep emails coming.

Couple was arrested while attempting to “reconcile” their relationship on the lawn of a McDonald's in Georgia

This is a response to another story I wrote last week.

A couple who was just trying to balance their relationship through a road trip ended up getting arrested for publicly having fun on the lawn of a McDonald's.

James from Ohio has an interesting observation that begs the question: Does McDonald's value love?

Strange times we live in these days, James. What happened to the customer is always correct? This is another sign of a deteriorating society.

That's it for Sunday's version of screencaps. I drink two glasses of coffee and have to watch football and write for a whole day. Congratulations to Rachel Bush.
