That’s just enough time to go from “Oh, look: Hillary as IBM, and Obama as the plucky Mac. That’s clever” to “Alright, already. I get it. What else is on?” Which is, I think, not quite what they’re going for....

The Rams and Ravens are locked in a pretty weird game, with the Ravens taking a 13-7 lead into halftime. Nothing was quite as weird as what happened between Rams wideout Odell Beckham Jr. and Ravens safety Chuck Clark.
