On Wednesday, Pat McAfee breathed a sigh of relief as he announced that Aaron Rodgers would not be back on his show. McAfee even went so far to say out loud, “Some of [Rodgers’] thoughts and opinions, though, do piss off a lot of people, and I’m pumped that that is no longer gonna be every single Wednesday of my life, which it has been for the last few weeks.” So imagine everyone’s surprise when a very familiar face appeared in the middle of the screen not even a day later. A face belonging to Aaron freaking Rodgers. (NBC News)

There won’t be a Pajiba Love on Sunday night, so here’s an extra Cannonball Read blurb. Do enjoy:
Reading with her eyes has been a struggle for jessisreading recently and has led her to a lot of audiobooks, but she was able to get through a copy of Sink or Swim in a few days. “But this was a page-turner in all the best ways, and it reminded me how much I love Annabeth Albert’s books!” Who do you turn to when you are struggling to read?
