YEEE-HAWWWW!!! Let the baseless speculation begin!!! [View all]

Here's my advice. Shut off your TV and get off the internet for the next 24 hours.

What you're about to hear is another news cycle dominated by people who have no fucking clue what they're talking about, but they're not about to let a little detail like that keep them from talking.

Seriously. Wait.
