Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay needs some medicinal marijuana

After getting beat fairly handily by the Buffalo Bills in their pre-season opener 44-20, Indianapolis Colts owner tweeted the following message:

"Many starters played briefly or were nursing little injuries,but it was a crap performance,my apologies/My commanders got n earful from me!"

While I firmly believe the Colts were the most overrated team and Andrew Luck was the most overrated quarterback last season, I have to defend the team in this instance. Yeah, Mr. Irsay? Sir? It was a pre-season game. A Tecmo Bowl tournament is more important than the outcome of an NFL pre-season game. The most important thing about the pre-season is limiting the number of injuries to starters. The fact Indy got pummeled by the Buffalo Bills of all teams doesn't make me think any more or less of the team's chances going into the regular season.

Colts quarterback Andrew Luck only attempted six passes all game. Who led the way in that department? Chandler Harnish, who completed just 14 of 33 pass attempts. Who is Chandler Harnish? Exactly. Quarterback Jeff Tuel led the way for the Bills, in completing 19 of 23 pass attempts. Who is Jeff Tuel? A guy likely fighting for a spot on the team's roster. That's the other reason for pre-season games - to find out who will take up the final few spots on the roster.

Last year, Indianapolis had one of the easiest schedules that I've ever come across in the NFL, and sadly, they had to come from behind in most of these games. It wouldn't at all surprise me to see them suffer a letdown this year record wise. However, their schedule appears to be fairly kind yet again this season, as their only extremely tough games appear to be: A road game against San Francisco, a home game against both Denver and Seattle, as well as two games against Houston.

Sure, the Colts will need to improve by leaps and bounds from their loss to Buffalo if they want to reach the playoffs again this season. Then again, they're not going to be starting 3rd stringer Chandler Harnish at quarterback during the course of the regular season or other 3rd string players (barring injuries). So, I recommend that Mr. Irsay eats some special herb-infested brownies, listen to Pink Floyd, and relax. It's a long season. If he gets like this over one pre-season loss, the man may suffer a heart-attack if the team loses two straight regular season games. ::hands Mr. Irsay some special brownies:: You're welcome.

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!"
