The NFL says there will be an appeal of the judge's ruling in the Tom Brady-Deflategate case. That's what is so maddening about pro football. No matter what obnoxious, criminal, myopic or arrogant thing the NFL and those associated with it do, it always still has its appeal.
Burger King is pressing on with its Peace Day publicity stunt despite McDonald's spurning its McWhopper invitation. A one-day pop-up store will offer a combo sandwich created out of signature items from Denny's and any other chain that will play along. They can call it Food Court Leftovers.
