Football

No 'us' in 'team'

A Las Vegas high school’s 0-7 football team has forfeited the last three games after players were suspended over an on-campus “hazing” incident. 0-7? Sounds like a little “hazing” occurred on the field as well.

Margarita

Hard to swallow

Margaritaville broke the Guinness World Record for largest margarita ever last weekend. It’s 8,500 gallons, took 300 hours to make, and has enough alcohol to make you think that even though you don't have a job, breaking pointless records are still important to America.

Urinal

Mat trick

A new urinal mat by WizKid debuted at the ISSA/Interclean Trade show in Las Vegas this week. It comes in four colors, is reversible to double product life, and is still as disgusting as anything else in a frequently used bathroom.

Fourth and short

The cash-strapped United Football League has abandoned its regular season, scheduling the championship this week instead of November 5. The league intends on refunding season-ticket holders—all five of them.

Credit score

Give us credit

Las Vegas has the nation’s eighth-worse credit score, according to Experian. What that basically means is we can’t get a loan for a house that’s lost all its value.
