What I learned in Week 7 of the NFL season

- It's Peyton Manning's wish that his defense learns how to allow fewer than 30 points in a game.

- No matter what their records are, games between Pittsburgh and Baltimore are guaranteed to be close, low-scoring, and more brutal than being dumped on Valentine's Day via text while sitting at an expensive restaurant with some flowers in hand. 

- Case Keenum is Houston Texans' fans new hero, since he didn't throw a pick-six in the team's one-point loss to Kansas City.

- It's sad to think that the Jacksonville Jaguars have shown some signs of improvement these past couple weeks, yet have lost both games by a combined 34 points.

- St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford can't seem to catch a break, unless that term is meant literally, unfortunately.

- The Atlanta Falcons have as hard a time putting away games as blind men do of finding and putting away pet hamsters.

- With Brandon Weeden back at quarterback for the team, the Cleveland Browns now appear to be the top 10-draft pick team upper management was hoping for after trading tailback Trent Richardson.

- The 7-0 Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to become the most boring #1 seed since the New England Patriots. 

- I'm predicting sports-writers and analysts will call on the flip-flop card with regard to Nick Foles and who should start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. This flip-flop card is only supposed to be used once a season, but these writers and analysts use it once...multiple times every week.

- I've never been so excited to see a Monday night game which features an 0-6 team that is the favorite. Bring on the beer and popcorn!

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!"
