ReutersThe Lions cruised to a huge 47-9 win over the Cowboys[/caption]
It was the first time in NFL history that a game ended with that exact score – the league’s 1,087th unique final score.
The AT&T Stadium’s official X account posted the attendance on Monday.
But they blurred out one specific detail on the photo.
The scoreline on the jumbotron was obscured to avoid showing the embarrassing scoreline.
And it was quickly noticed and exposed by the Lions‘ account.
A post from the Lions read: “Is it us or is the scoreboard a little blurry?”
Fans were quick to comment, with one person writing: “They don’t like to be embarrassed by the score.”
Another said: “Imagine being so embarrassed by your team’s loss at home that you blur out the scoreboard.”
A third wrote: “Lmao I’m a Cowboys fan and this is hilarious. Cooked ‘em on and off the field.”

SPRINT sensation Divine Iheme is on the fast track to Olympic glory.
The 14-year-old is the fastest ever Under-15 runner, getting across the 100m finish line in just 10.3 seconds.

Iheme is nicknamed ‘Lightening’Getty
Jamaican star Sachin Dennis held the previous record at 10.51 seconds, with the two tenths difference considered an absolute age in the sprinting world.
Iheme’s blistering pace has seen him dubbed the “next Noah Lyles”.
And rightly so as the American Paris Olympics gold medal winner ran a best of 11.27 seconds when he was that age.
All eight men in the 100m final in Paris ran sub-ten seconds for the first time ever.
Lyles won it with a 9.79 second dash as last placed Oblique Seville came in at 9.91.
At the speed of Iheme’s improvements, he could be making his mark on the world stage in no time.
The teenager nicknamed “Lightening” has also lived up to his tag in the 200m, running a stunning 21.68 seconds.
Sprinting is in his genes as both of his parents represented Nigeria at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
His mum Nkiruku competed in the 100m and 200m like her son, while his dad Innocent was in the 100m and the long jump.
They both now coach their son in Oxford, and have admitted his pace is a “God-given talent”.
Michael Ofo of SOS Management, who has helped British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley on his rise to the top, is also in Iheme’s camp.
Despite being eligible for Nigeria, Iheme is committed to Team GB.
He told Sky Sports: “I was born here, I’ve had free education, free school meals. Everyone here has been taking care of me, child support, all this stuff.
“I feel like I’m going to run for Great Britain because they have helped me the most.”
But when it comes to inspirations, Iheme looks further afield, saying: “Noah Lyles is a great athlete and he’s given me a lot of confidence to pursue this career, run quicker, get a better time.
GettyNoah Lyles won 100m gold in Paris[/caption]
“I’ve watched quite a lot of Usain Bolt‘s races and Allyson Felix’s 200m, 400m and relays.
“Probably the first race I watched was Bolt’s 200m world record, the 19.19, I was inspired to pursue my dream.
“I try my best to slingshot off the bend [in 200m] and continue holding first until I cross the finish line.
“In my opinion, I think my running style is unique and natural. I don’t try to model it on anyone.”
Iheme is keen to one day run as fast as Bolt – but his main aims are more heartwarming.
He said: “I always try to do my parents proud. I want to make sure that in the future, they can just sit back and relax while I can get them gifts, buy them a house, buy them things for their future.
“The goal is to try and make them happy, make them live a great life.”

7 days agoSouth TvComments Off on Meet Marta Cano: Erik and Lyle Menendez’s aunt who believes brothers are innocent
MARTA Cano is the sister of Jose Menendez, who was murdered by his sons Erik and Lyle in 1989.
She defended the brothers in court, alongside her son Andy who alleged that Erik had been abused by Jose.

José Menendez’s sister
Not much is known about Marta’s life before the Menendez brothers went on trial, but the former stockbroker became a big part of the media coverage of the court case.
Her brother, José, was born on May 6, 1944, in Cuba but moved to the United States at the start of the Cuban Revolution.
He married his wife, Kitty, in 1963 and they had their first son, Lyle, just five years later.
Lyle and his younger brother Erik eventually murdered their parents in 1989, in a killing so violent that the authorities believed the Mob might have been involved.
They lived a lavish lifestyle using their inheritance before they were arrested.
An infamous trial
Marta attended her nephew’s trial, that was watched with keen interest across America.
Erik claimed that he and his brother had murdered their parents because their father had been sexually abusive towards them.
Marta’s son, Andy, testified to this and claimed that Erik had told him about the abuse when he was 13 years old.
Erik and Lyle’s aunt also testified in their defense, but, eventually, the brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Both brothers did go on to find love in prison, though, and married women who had watched the trial and written them letters.
Marta attended Lyle and his then-wife Anna Eriksson’s wedding on July 2, 1996, but the couple divorced just a few years later in April 2001.

Hoping for freedom
Marta told ABC News in 2018 that her brother was “not a bad person” and that he was, instead, a “sick” person.
She was also adamant that her nephews were not criminals and defended the action they took against their father.
She said: “They deserve to be free.
“They’re not criminals.
“They were in so much shock and fear of their own lives that that’s what happened.”
Marta added: “How would I feel if someone had abused me all my life, and all of a sudden he’s angry in front of me and he’s coming to me?
“It’s a defense mechanism we all have.
“You never knew what you would do.”
Years earlier, she had discovered a letter written by Erik to her son, Andy, which detailed the alleged abuse that Erik was suffering.
That letter, written in 1988, will be examined in a retrial that has been ordered into the Menendez case.
Sadly, guilt, caused by not intervening sooner, had led to Andy dying from a drug overdose in 2003.
Marta shared with ABC that she felt that the brothers’ incarceration had a big role in her 29-year-old son’s death.
She said: “I have no doubt in my mind that Andy is dead because of them.”

7 days agoSouth TvComments Off on I was fined $130 after angry cyclist chased down my car – but then he was hit with costly ticket too
A VIRAL video shows the moment a young driver is chased down by an angry cyclist who accused him of getting dangerously close to him on the road.
Pierce Kempton, 22, filmed his tense interaction with a cyclist while driving to a skate park in Park City, Utah, on September 28.
Cyclist Gary Peacock accused a 22-year-old driver of getting ‘dangerously close’ to him while on the roadTikTok/pezkemptonDriver Pierce Kempton recorded the interaction with Gary Peacock and uploaded it on TikTokTikTok/pezkemptonAn irate Peacock refused to let Kempton leave until police arrived on the sceneTikTok/pezkemptonGary Peacock was seen aggressively pulling Kempton’s door open and ordering him to remain in his vehicle until police arrivedTikTok/pezkempton
Kempton was on his way to meet a friend when he was confronted by cyclist Gary Peacock, 73, in the skate park parking lot.
The video starts as Kempton attempts to exit his car, telling Peacock, “Dude, literally stop.”
An irate Peacock shouts, “No, I’m calling the police, and you’re not leaving. You’re not leaving.”
Peacock asks Kempton if he saw him on the road, to which the driver responds, “Pulling off to the side, I did. I got it on dashcam.”
Kempton then tells the cyclist he’s going to go skate, which further angers Peacock, “No, you’re not. You’re not going anywhere until the police come,” as he yanks the car door open.
The driver then exits his vehicle as Peacock is on the phone with a police operator, “Yeah, I got a very aggressive teenager here that almost hit me by his car, and now he won’t tell me his last name, and now he’s trying to leave,” Peacock says.
Kempton repeatedly tells Peacock he’s not trying to be aggressive with him, but the cyclist continues to bad mouth him to the police operator on the line.
“He’s recording me because he’s a jerk. And I want you to come and give this guy a ticket, and I’ll be willing to testify in court against this guy,” Peacock added.
At one point during their exchange, Peacock angrily tells Kempton, “I’m riding a bike, I have more rights than you.
“We’ll see if you have any arrests, pal. We’ll see if you have any arrests or any tickets, we’ll see what happens.”
Kempton then reassures Peacock, “I have a clean record,” as the 73-year-old furiously responds, “Yeah, we’ll see. The police are going to check your clean record.”
Sometime later, a police officer arrives at the scene and quickly separates the two.
Park City police eventually issued Kempton and Peacock citations for $130 and $160, respectively, according to radio station KPCW.
CITATION DISMISSED
Kempton fought the $130 ticket and sent a copy of his dashcam video to the Park City District Attorney’s Office, which dismissed the fine on October 11.
“In relation to your citation, I agree with you that the dash cam video you produced after you were cited is exculpatory and I will proceed with dismissal of your citation,” the district attorney said in an email to Kempton.
A portion of Kempton’s dashcam showed the moment the driver steered slightly to the left as he passed Peacock on the road.
“The content of this video informed the prosecutor’s decision to file a motion for dismissal,” a Park City Municipal spokesperson said.
Peacock paid the $160 disorderly conduct fine, and his case was closed.
The cyclist expressed regret about the incident, saying he lost his cool.
“I lost my temper. I didn’t go there with the intention of hitting them or doing anything but just telling him, ‘Hey, you came way too close to me. And I’m upset. I’m angry about it,” Peacock told KPCW.
“And then his reaction just sent me off.
“This guy, unfortunately, was the subject of my wrath because of all these other incidents.”
Kempton told the radio station that Peacock’s aggression is what ultimately escalated the encounter.
“I feel like he could have settled that just by telling me with his words,” Kempton told KPCW.
“I don’t think he needed to be aggressive, and I don’t think he needed to get the law involved.”
What is 'Road Rage'?
While road rage is often defined by an aggressive reaction to another driver's actions, it could be dangerous.
The NHTSA says road rage is different from aggressive driving, as it comes down to intention. The agency says many state laws include intent to harm as part of a road rage or reckless driving offense.
“Although some States have passed laws criminalizing aggressive driving, it should not be confused with road rage, which is an intentional assault by a driver or passenger with a motor vehicle or a weapon that occurs on the roadway or is precipitated by an incident on the roadway,” the agency writes.
“Aggressive drivers, as distinct from aggressive driving, often can be identified as those who violate traffic laws repeatedly or whose violations lead to crashes producing serious injury or death.”
Actions that define road rage in many states are behaviors like trying to run another driver off the roadway, using their vehicle to cause another driver to crash, speeding, weaving in and out of traffic lanes, or threatening and/or using a dangerous weapon.
It took him one clear of Eddy Merckx – who he had shared the record with for three years.
Cavendish had initially planned to retire in 2023, but after crashing out of the Tour he decided to do one more year to try and break the stage wins record – a feat he achieved.
Now, after being knighted, he is preparing for life after cycling and has revealed he has plans to go into management in the sport.
Speaking to Men’s Health, he said: “For me, though, it’s not about stopping, it’s about starting something new.
“I will always ride a bike, but the past few years I’ve known what I want to do after.
“I’ve set the wheels in motion for that. I want to stay in management in the sport, I still love it.
“I brought a lot of people to this team [Astana Qazaqstan] over the past two years, and I know what it takes to be successful.
CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS
“I’ve been building up to the moment I’m not racing.”
Cavendish’s final race is a two-day Tour de France Criterium which ends on November 10.
And he has claimed he will use his retirement to swap cycling for running.
He added: “I will always ride my bike, but I want to run now. It’s pure – get your shoes on and off you go!
“I’ve already agreed to do the Paris Marathon with my brother.
“I’m really looking forward to the time when I don’t have to wake up and do a specific programme on a computer.
“I can just ride with my friends, it doesn’t matter if I go fast or slow.”

TINY HOME TREND
As tiny homes become more of an option, retailers are getting in the game.
What is a tiny home?
Technically, a tiny home is any house measuring under 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or vans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but, generally, they are not subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin, and West Virginia have made tiny homes illegal as permanent dwellings.
Home Depot, Amazon, and others are all offering affordable options.
Amazon is selling a customizable, three-bedroom tiny home for $11,698.
The 20-foot by 40-foot home is fully furnished with a kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms.
According to the Amazon website, delivery is free and should arrive within four days of ordering.
