KANSAS CITY – The Kansas City Chiefs will be without their explosive running back Stephen Watkins this Sunday, as he has been ruled out with a concussion. Watkins suffered the head trauma after headbutting his girlfriend, whose name has not been released. The injury occurred Thursday night, after the couple was seen arguing inside a Subway restaurant near the team’s training facility. Witnesses reportedly overheard exclamations of, “We’re not getting that, it’s not a five-dollar footlong” and “Oh come on, you know double meat costs extra.” The altercation turned physical outside the restaurant, when Watkins’ girlfriend refused to share her Sun…

WASHINGTON – With mass shootings occurring at an unprecedented rate, a recent poll finds that the most dangerous game has overtaken baseball and football to become the new national pastime. Analysts believe the popularity of the game can be attributed to its “spontaneity, total lack of rules and extreme violence,” though some have countered that increased media coverage of the sport is what has truly endeared it to the country. “It was sort of like hockey there for a while,” said Indianapolis sports fan Carl Mercer. “I had some awareness but didn’t really follow it. But now every time you check…

WASHINGTON – In a move being decried by most economists, the Federal Reserve Bank released more than $2 trillion in strategic Kohl’s Cash reserves today to free up resources for those trying to get by this holiday season. Would-be business owner Jessica Massy doesn’t understand the backlash. “I was able to trade in the Kohl’s Cash I had saved over the years for the keys to an old liquor store down the street,” Massy said. “It even came fully stocked! Without the Kohl’s Cash Act of 2015, a normal American like me couldn’t dream of something like this.” Many economists are…

HEAVEN – Saying he feels “pretty torn up about the whole thing,” God admitted today that Thanksgiving “bums him out” each year due to his part in the holiday’s mass slaughtering of turkeys. “Look, I know it’s a festival of togetherness,” God said. “And of course there’s going to be a feast, but 46 million killed a year for one day – and that’s just in the United States – I…I can’t just wash my hands of it.” Pressed for details about why he feels so responsible, God said turkeys’ “flightlessness,” “plump, inviting size,” and “Goddamn deliciousness” made them irresistible…

SEATTLE – With no meaningful connections in town and lacking travel arrangements to fly home, 31-year-old Sean Karper has decided to spend Thanksgiving alone in his one-bedroom apartment this year, and he is 100 percent okay with that. “It really worked out for the best,” Karper said after a deep sigh. “Andrea breaking up with me means I don’t have to spend the day listening to her parents argue about their vacation property while Steely Dan plays in the background. And since there are no flights left to get to Newport, I’ll end up saving money by not making the trip.”…

CLINTON, Iowa – Scoffing again at the foliage-themed Evite.com invitation, Nick Reineck found himself in the spirit of the season as he gave thanks for having the wisdom to not attend Alison Brendt’s annual Friendsgiving party. Rolling his eyes as he pictured the artisanal cranberry sauce and lovingly prepared tofurky, Reineck shoveled another handful of dry Froot Loops into his mouth. “I can picture those chumps now,” chuckled Reineck. “Trapped at the table listening to Julie rant on about how much she loves her friends.” “And I can practically hear Chad making some stupid Tindr joke. ‘I’d swipe right at this dinner!’ I…

SAUGERTIES, N.Y. – Traveling from his current residence in Manhattan to his hometown of Saugerties for the Thanksgiving weekend, Brandon O’Dowd plans to resort to his old favorite hide-and-seek spots for some respite from his Uncle Daryl’s bigoted philosophies. It has been reported that the back of the coat closet is still incredibly secluded and relatively spacious, and it provides ample sound isolation from Daryl’s ideas about how to take down ISIS. However, the spot on the other side of the bookshelf can no longer conceal a full-grown adult, and it leaves O’Dowd susceptible to his uncle’s plans for where…
