Absurd stat makes Vikings look like the wimpiest team in the NFL
The Minnesota Vikings are simply incapable of breaking tackles when running the football. It is quite comical really, only to be outdone by the division rival Detroit Lions who have a league-leading 19 on the campaign. Good times!

Like 'Squid Game,' 'Bargain' trades on the life-is-cheap edge of South Korean drama
The unexpected success of "Squid Game" gave a green light to bringing more South Korean dramas to the US, with Paramount establishing a partnership with Seoul-based CJ ENM to do so. The latest fruit of that relationship, "Bargain," isn't as compulsively watchable as "Squid Game" but echoes it in one key respect, darkly reflecting a society where life is cheap, and the class divide can be fatal.
