The Browns actually won a second game this season. The New York Football Giants are 1-4. And the worthless San Francisco 49ers lost, which is good: but to Arizona, which is bad.
Also: Mike Stoops out as Oklahoma’s defensive coordinator.
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
None.
The loser update will return at the start of the NFL season next year. There may possibly be special updates between now and then, but it will definitely be back in 2019 (assuming we all live that long).
Mr. Romero was a teenage busboy working in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in June 1968 when [Robert F.] Kennedy, moments after giving a victory speech in the California Democratic primary, came walking through and was shot in the head by an assassin.
Mr. Romero rushed to Kennedy and held him as he lay on the floor mortally wounded. Mr. Romero later said he had struggled to keep the senator’s head from hitting the floor.

Our short national nightmare is over:
The Republic of Texas Biker Rally and the Heat Wave car show will go on at the Travis County Exposition Center, but the Travis Central Appraisal District will have to scramble to find another venue for thousands of property tax protest hearings after county commissioners voted Tuesday to continue contract negotiations for the two highly popular events.
After a heated debate, commissioners voted 3-2 Tuesday, with County Judge Sarah Eckhardt and Commissioner Margaret Gómez against, to move toward contracts with the event organizers on renting the Expo Center, leaving the appraisal district out of the mix.
Chimene Onyeri, the guy who shot Judge Kocurek: life in federal prison.
Paul Molitor out as manager of the Minnesota Twins. 78-84 this season and no playoffs.
Four weeks into the season, and one team left standing. By comparison, at this time in 2017, there were four 0-4 teams. On the other hand, Cleveland was the only winless team at this point in 2016, and Detroit was the only one left in week four of 2015. So I don’t know, Bob.
Also: TMQ is either going to ignore this story, or be his usual insufferable self this week.
And this amuses me:
I doubt Ryan Fitzpatrick was the problem, and I doubt Jameis Winston is the fix. Then again, I didn’t watch a minute of the game.
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:

And it looks like the MLB regular season is (more or less) over, and B’more finished 47-115. By my count, that’s 15th on the all-time list.
Or, how to get me to stop listening to your podcast:
The rest of this season of Crimetown will be available exclusively on Spotify.
This is a shame: I liked the first season of Crimetown. I’ve even written about it here previously, since (as you know, Bob) I have an abnormal interest in Rhode Island politics.
But if you can’t put your show into an RSS feed, like “Gimlet Media” did with the first “season” of Crimetown, I’m not interested. I’m not signing up for yet another account, even if I can get a Spotify account for “free” (translation: give up your personal data), just to listen to your damn podcast.
(I would point out that “Gimlet Media” is losing my potential advertising views as well by going this route. But since “Crimetown” season one had some of the worst podcast sponsors there are, since I fast-foward through podcast advertisements whenever I can, and since I make it a policy never to buy any product advertised on a podcast, technically, “Gimlet Media” isn’t losing anything from me.)
(Also: podcasts do not have “seasons”. Stop saying that. If you want to do a block of thematically related episodes and take a break between them, fine: just don’t call it a season. TV shows have “seasons” and they have seasons because they take a break between spring and fall for ratings and demographic reasons. Podcasts are not TV shows and do not have to follow that model. Calling your block of episodes a “season” makes you sound like maroons, as far as I’m concerned.)
