Hawkeyes vs Washington Has 2 Viral Moments
The Hawkeyes playing against Washington this weekend had 2 different viral moments in a 40-16 win.
The first was the fan who got hit in the face by a kickoff, and the radio broadcast - featuring Gary Dolphin and our friend Pat Angerer - got the guy on the air with them. He said he tried to put his hands up to block it, but it came faster than he thought and didn't get his hands up in the right spot to block the kick.
The other moment was when Washington kicked a field goal that looked like it might have missed, and Kirk challenged the play. After review, it was determined that the ball was above the top of the uprights and therefore isn't a play that can be reviewed.
The clip went viral for the ref basically saying "After reviewing the play... it's techinically unreviewable."
Bears Beat Jacksonville In London
The Bears beat the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend in London, 35-16 for the final score.
There's another big London game coming up next Sunday, with 1-5 Jacksonville taking on the 1-5 Patriots. Should be a battle for the ages, at 8:30am our time.
The Robot Vacuums Are Getting Hacked
A guy had his robot vacuum hacked, and the hackers not only used the remote control feature, but they also hacked the speaker and yelled racial slurs, other swears, and called the owners a bitch.
Apparently, the Ecovac Deebot X2s are susceptible, and can be completely taken over.
"We've got some GREAT video of the Queen..."

Sheriff Calls For Backup
A sheriff (who is running for reelection) had video come out of the time last year when a Burger King in his jurisdiction didn't get his Whopper his way, and so he called for backup with lights and sirens to get to the bottom of who owns the place.
Bad Leg Injuries
Baby Born At Brewery
A woman gave birth to a baby in a brewery parking lot, and now the kid is the youngest member, and a lifetime member, of the brewery's mug club. He was named after one of the beers, and he's getting his own brew that he can have in 21 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sBpTziLWVw
St. Ambrose Students On Cops
Some students from St. Ambrose were on Cops' Spring Break episode, but not for the reason we normally would expect. They're playing Spikeball on the beach, and the officer talks with them and ends up playing it with them. https://youtu.be/nhlgxK01Pto
The Greatest Obituary Of All Time?
This guy's obituary might be the best one we've ever seen. You know it'll be great because the first paragraph reads:
Robert Adolph Boehm, in accordance with his lifelong dedication to his own personal brand of decorum, muttered his last unintelligible and likely unnecessary curse on October 6, 2024, shortly before tripping backward over "some stupid mother****ing thing" and hitting his head on the floor.

SpaceX Does The Never Been Done
SpaceX did a cool thing this weekend that hasn't been done yet. A rocket booster used to get a ship to space came back down, and had a catch landing in a thing they referred to as the "Chopstick Method." https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1845467052443828579 The test was successful, but look at how fast the thing is falling.
Lady With All The Raccoons
A woman feeding her neighborhood's raccoons had to call for help after being overrun by over 100 raccoons at once. She called 911.
