Are the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers rivals again?

On the front page of Monday's The Columbus Dispatch's sports section read the words "Rivals Again?" in reference to the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. I chuckled pretty hard at the sight of this headline. Why is this? You see, the Browns beat the Steelers on Sunday by the final score of 20-14. This is what prompted the headline.

With the win on Sunday, the Browns improved to 4-22 (.154) against the Steelers since the 2000 season. Since that season, Pittsburgh has outscored Cleveland 619-347 (average of 23.8 - 13.3). That sounds like the renewing of a vicious rivalry right there! 

To make matters worse, this fourth win by the Browns over the Steelers in their past 26 meetings was by a measly six points over a team that turned the ball over eight times (that's not a misprint) with their 3rd-string quarterback behind center. What's that I smell? I'm not sure, but it's definitely not the renewing of a rivalry.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
