ESPN reports that Nick Fairley saying his team will be going to the Super Bowl is big news. Big compared to what? Dust?

Sometimes I really wonder why articles are written, and this has especially been the case over at ESPN in recent weeks it seems. Well, ESPN is at it again, thanks to Kevin Seifert's recent article, entitled, "Nick Fairley: Lions will be Super."

When Seifert asked Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley about his thoughts on the upcoming season for his team, Fairley said, "I expect big things. I am going to say we are going to the Super Bowl because I am competitive, and that is what I want for the team, and it is one of the goals. I am sure we are going to take it game by game and day by day."

Seifert then commented on Fairley's statement by saying history wasn't in the Lions favor, having gone just 4-12 a year ago.

Come on... For how many years have players been saying exactly what Fairley said in the run-up to the regular season? What did Seifert expect Fairley to say? "Gee, I don't know, man. We were just 4-12 a year ago, so if we go 5-11, we'll see it as a success - a step in the right direction. Hopefully at this pace, we'll be able to finish 10-6 in a few years and make the playoffs again. A guy can only hope." Is that what Seifert was anticipating? Give me a break.

My point is that Mr. Seifert made this story out to be big news, but it's about as big as a piece of dust divided by 976.2.

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...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
