Probably my all-time favorite Weekend Update joke from Norm. – at Rome, GA

Norm Macdonald Joke of the Day

@NormSNLJokesAug 25

Who are safer drivers? Men, or women? Well, according to a new survey, fifty-five percent of adults feel that WOMEN are most responsible for minor fender-benders. While seventy-eight percent blame MEN for most fatal crashes. Please note that the percentages in these pie graphs do not add up to one hundred percent, because the math was done by a WOMAN. (HUGE reaction to that joke from the audience - lots of booing/ oohing/ laughter/ hisses) For those of you hissing at that joke, it should be noted that that joke was written by a woman. So... (laughter / clapping) Now you don't know what the hell to do, do ya? (More laughter / clapping) Nah, I'm just kidding. We don't hire women.

I feel like having no ABS challenges tonight probably benefits the #Braves, since they have had trouble with it all year anyway. What say you @CJNitkowski? – at Rome, GA

May as well go ahead and call him Brock Breakker, because there's 141-2/3% chance he'll get in a WWE ring before he plays an NFL regular season down. – at Rome, GA

Saints WR Brock Rechsteiner — the son of Scott Steiner — has already been suspended for PEDs and delivered a German Suplex in a practice fight just a few months into his NFL career. It's too perfect. Holla if ya hear me

Wishing a happy birthday to two truly unique WWE Superstars, @DanhausenAD and @Saraya (Paige in WWE)! I fully expect that on my birthday, at least one of you shall return the favor! ;-)

Super serial question. Could the Rome Emperors beat the Gwinnett Stripers in a 3 game series. I will hang up and listen to the response.

This was always a pet peeve of @Jim_Powell - the "quarter pole" is the one quarter *to go* marker, not the one quarter finished marker. I know, it's pedantic, but ever since I learned that it's bothered me. – at Rome, GA

I got let go from ESPN this morning. It’s all good, I’ll be fine. 10 years is a decent run. I think I’m just gonna take some time off before I decide what’s next. Good vibes and acts of kindness.

Dear @DanhausenAD - I don't know what you did to the Mets and Phillies (I have an idea though), but thank you for it. Very nice, very evil indeed. Sincerely, E (an obvious Braves fan) – at Rome, GA

Dear @baseball_ref Mr Nitkowski has a valid point. I noticed this too reading today's digest. Please take care of this weirdness. Thanks, E – at Rome, GA

@CJNitkowskiApr 22

Friendly reminder the Nationals three letter abbreviation should be WAS and not WSN. Every team is either the first three letters of their city or nickname OR the first letter of their 3-word full name. Chicago gets the obvious pass. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If I was on the fence about ordering #WrestleMania that first hour on ESPN2 would have done nothing to convince me I should watch the rest. Pointless six-man and one of the tamest no-DQ/"unsanctioned" matches I've ever seen. – at Rome, GA
