Another ESPN article which makes me ask the question, "Why?"

Like with the article I wrote about yesterday, which claimed that New York Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez wasn't going to second-guess head coach Rex Ryan's ridiculous decision to put him in behind an inexperienced offensive line in the 4th quarter of the team's third preseason game, I'm again asking "why?" with regard to an ESPN article which was published today - as in, "Why did this article ever need to be written?"

The headline of today's article is, "Robert Kraft 'rooting for' Tim Tebow."

Tebow completed just 1 of 7 pass attempts in the team's August 16th preseason game, for -1 yard, and an interception. He didn't play at all in the game last Thursday. So, what is no one outside of ESPN asking? "Will Tim Tebow make the 53-man roster?" I don't know, but let's ask New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft about matters.

In response to such a question, Kraft said this:

"I'm rooting for him big time. I'm in his corner, but I have the privilege of letting Bill (Belichick) make those decisions. He has a pretty good record doing it."

Like with the question Mark Sanchez was recently posed about whether or not he was going to second-guess his coach (of course he's not going to, publicly anyway), how did ESPN reporters expect Kraft would respond to such a question?

"You know what? I'm just going to come out and say it - Tim Tebow sucks at playing football! He might be a good guy, but he's not going to help our team win football games unless he places God on our side and makes miracles happen on Sundays through prayer over on our sideline. As far as I see it, though, he'd be better off behind a podium than on a football field, and I highly doubt he'll make the 53-man roster. He sucks - plain and simple. Next question..."

Of course he's not going to say anything like that. I swear, sometimes ESPN isn't sure whether they want to be ESPN or TMZ. That'll be the day. MTV goes from Music Television to "Reality" Television and ESPN goes from showcasing and analyzing sports to showcasing and analyzing athletes' personal lives. I guess MTV has already fulfilled that lofty goal, so now it's all on you, ESPN!

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

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
