There are three things I am excited to watch for this NFL season... Aaron Rogers potentially spotting another UFO in the night sky, Sauquon Barkley's fight against the 'Madden Curse', and ghostly apparitions cheering the players on at Lambeau Field.

While I did the research for this episode, Jack really pulled his weight with all of the football knowledge he has stored in his brain. Let us know if you think the curse is real!

We are 99.99% sure 'blood rain' is caused by red dust or algae that is caught up in rain clouds. There have been accounts of this phenomenon happening all of the world for centuries! Even with this in mind, it really just means that there is still a 0.01% chance that it is actual blood raining down as an omen of bad things to come.

All we are saying is to keep your head on a swivel when you go outside and you start to feel a drop or two or rain falling on your head.
