TEAM LOSES? WIFE BEATING GOES UP! Well, this is definitely a reason why an NFL lockout might be a good thing. Sure, we'll all be bored to death on Sundays...but a LOT of a-holes might stop hitting their wives. According to a new study by the U.S. National Institute of Health, when NFL teams lose games they were supposed to win...it leads to domestic violence. Obviously that won't happen here...the Browns are RARELY supposed to win! The researchers studied the results of 900 NFL regular season games for six teams...Carolina, Detroit, New England, Denver, Kansas City, and Tennessee...and the domestic violence reports in their respective cities on game day. Wait, really? Carolina and Detroit are awful! Anyway... And they found that after a team lost in an UPSET, domestic violence rose a full 10% in its city within the three hours after the game. Like, if the Patriots lost a game they were supposed to win, the domestic violence rate in Boston jumped 10%. If the Patriots won their game, or lost a game where they weren't favored, domestic violence rates didn't jump at all. It was even worse when a team was upset by a RIVAL. In those cases, the domestic violence rates jumped 20%. So, when the Browns last beat the Squeelers, women all over Western PA got a beatdown from their man? Luckily, for those ladies, this rarely happens. David Card co-authored the study. He says, "This isn't limited to football. Someone who gets a speeding ticket on the way home might also be more likely to act out in a way he would later regret." NO NICKI MINAJ ON THE X-FACTOR Word has it that NICKI MINAJ is no longer in the running to be an "X Factor" judge. Of course, that's assuming she was even a contender in the first place. So-called "sources connected to Nicki" say she's not doing it, "There's nothing going on with ['X Factor']." SIMON COWELL wasn't doing much to curb the speculation. This week, he told "XXL" magazine, "We spoke to Nicki actually about a lot of projects. It wasn't specifically about this, but we were just very interested to meet her. "I'm a big fan of hers. So I don't know if it's gonna be this show or something in the future, but [she] was definitely somebody I wanted to meet." This rumor has always been hard to believe. Even though "X Factor" is surely a high-paying, high-profile gig...Nicki's career is just now taking off. And reality show judges tend not to have careers that are on the upswing, if you know what I mean. Plus, she doesn't have the career track record yet to be respected. She just released her debut album four months ago! I just don't get how anyone could really believe this is a possibility. If it DID happen, it would be a VERY bizarre move...by both Simon and Nicki. DON'T OVER-DO IT!!! A new report broke down every state in the U.S. with one main question: How many people there are willing to get off the couch and exercise for a few hours a week? And the results are just about what you'd expect. TENNESSEE (wooooo-EEEEEE) finished in last place on the list. Only 51.8% of adults there do any sort of moderately-intense activity for at least two hours a week. They just beat out Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Alabama. On the other end, VERMONT has the most active residents...73.3% of the people there exercise for at least a few hours a week. They just beat out Alaska, Montana, Utah, and Maine. Overall, nationwide, 64.5% of people do at least a few hours of moderate physical activity every week. And 25.4% of us do absolutely NO physical activity every week. That's it for today, more soon...tomorrow perhaps :)

HEY...(IT'S) MONDAY!
Speaking of HEY MONDAY (and ALL TIME LOW)...you can win tix to see them on Q92 this week! As always, www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage "FACEBOOK OFFICIAL" Facebook founder MARK ZUCKERBERG has been dating his girlfriend Priscilla Chan for years. But he JUST got around to updating his relationship status on his own website. This past Sunday, he finally admitted that he's "In a Relationship."
