What I learned in Week 1 of the NFL regular season

While one can't learn a great deal from just one week of a season, here is what I personally learned after the first week of the NFL regular season:

- Referees don't seem to like the Green Bay Packers much in the opening week of the regular season. Next year, the Pack may just want to rest their guys through week 1 and start the season in week 2 at 0-1.

- Tom Brady may be one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game, but he's just one guy, and after watching the Patriots' last-second win against Buffalo, it's safe to say Brady has less help on the field than minorities have voting in North Carolina.

- Ditto for Adrian Peterson

- The Pittsburgh Steelers just aren't very good anymore. Ben Roethlisberger gets less protection than a streaker at the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

- ESPN is more skeptical about Chip Kelly's offense in Philadelphia than parents are when told by kids with chocolate all over their faces that they didn't eat a chocolate chip cookie.

- The Anquan Boldin deal makes the San Francisco 49ers look like Harvard graduates while the Baltimore Ravens are still pondering about whether or not to get their GEDs.

- Only Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys can get handed six turnovers and still almost lose. Nevermind - the Cleveland Browns could probably do that as well.

- Speaking of which, the Browns still play like they sound - like a pile of brown, stinky crap.

- Ndamukong Suh will have to start playing two-hand touch with his opponents if he doesn't want to get penalized, fined, and/or suspended on a weekly basis.

- Whenever a starting quarterback struggles, someone in the media will ask the question, "Will Tim Tebow get the call?," even though I know a 7-year old who throws the football better than him.

- Alabama could beat the Jacksonville Jaguars.

- Andrew Luck's last name seems fitting at times.

- Robert Griffin III (sorry, RGIII) could urinate in a bush on a person's lawn and ESPN would give him a standing ovation, saying it was a classy move and more people should start doing it.

- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are less disciplined than Pat Robertson is sane.

- San Diego doesn't believe in 60-minute games anymore.

- Cam Newton, for the third straight season, is still "one year away."

- More things get blown out of proportion by the sports media than learned.

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...
