What Had Happened Was: 12/5/16

Oh, you don’t know? We got you.

GAME. BLOUSES.

Remember when the Carolina Panthers made the Super Bowl last season? What a time.

On Sunday night, the defending NFC champions got destroyed by the Seattle Seahawks, 40-7. Reigning MVP Cam Newton threw for just 182 yards, as the Panthers were no match for running back Thomas Rawls (106 yards, two touchdowns) and Seattle, since it was a prime-time game and all.

Some things never change, I guess.

BLESSINGS

That is all.

SOCIAL STATUS

There will be no North Dakota Access Pipeline, per the Army Corps of Engineers. The easement for the current route, which could have affected the Standing Rock Sioux’s main source of water in southern North Dakota has been denied. President Barack Obama also effectively put an end to the pipeline by denying its final permit.

FOR THE CULTURE

Hip-hop artist Yasiin Bey says that three albums are on the way.
