NFL Combine Questions: Some NFL teams are allegedly asking prospects if they like men or women.

But they would ask you with a straight face, and it’s a pretty weird experience altogether. I think the whole point of the week is to play with your mind to see if you stay focused and stay driven. They’re trying to see how badly they can get in your mind.”

 

Oy Fey: Tina Fey won't host the Oscars. She says, ''I just feel like that gig is so hard. Especially for, like, a woman -- the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone ... no way.''
