Day-to-day frustrations, women are better drivers, Liar, Liar, edible deodorant, and more!

Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for week nine, while teammate Sherrick McManis earned Special Teams honors. Urlacher racked up seven tackles, a forced fumble and a 46-yard interception return for a touchdown in last Sunday's 51-20 rout of Tennessee. McManis had two tackles and a blocked punt that was returned for a score.

In Liar, Liar, Theresa Larkins was able to tell whose pants were on fire in a clean sweep, going 4 for 4! She won a pair of tickets to The Festival of Trees: Festival of the Vines Wine Tasting at the Rialto Square Theatre on the 20th!

A nine-year-old Ukrainian boy is looking at a lengthy time-out after snatching almost $4,000 from his parents to buy candy. The family had $3,300 in U.S. Cash, along with $600 worth of euros, hidden under the sofa. The boy's father was the first to notice that the family's stash of savings was missing. The boy admitted to taking the money during his autumn vacation and used it to buy sweets. Apparently through an adult friend, he converted the money into Ukrainian hryvnas before spending it.

Tomorrow, we'll finish out the week letting you pick how you win. We'll have three games for you to choose from, and if you win, you'll score a pair of tickets to The Festival of Trees: Festival of the Vines Wine Tasting at the Rialto Square Theatre on the 20th! We'll also talk about some really weird election results, and we'll talk about the Christmas songs you like the most, and the ones you can go without ever hearing again.
