What I learned in Week 8 of the NFL season

- Chip Kelly has asked if it's possible for him to be traded back to Oregon.

- Only the Dallas Cowboys can finish a game at +4 in turnovers and find a way to blow a 10-point 4th quarter lead, unless we're talking about basketball.

- Tom Brady fantasy owners are temporarily benching the quarterback in favor of back-ups Thad Lewis, Jason Campbell, and whoever the Vikings start.

- Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzalez's ringer is supposedly set to him saying, "I came back for this?"

- Tampa Bay seems to play much better in the first 30 minutes of games, prior to Greg Schiano's halftime speech.

- Peyton Manning made a bet with someone that the Broncos could spot the Redskins a 7-point lead at the start of the 4th quarter and still manage to win by 24 points.

- The Bears and Steelers will play a game on the weekend of the Pro Bowl, and call it, The Has Beens Bowl.

- In the second half of yesterday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith reportedly forgot which team he was playing for, saying he thought he was on the Houston Texans following his two pick-sixes.

- The NFC East is so bad, winless Jacksonville would still only be four games back of division-leading Dallas.

- If Dez Bryant and Philip Rivers ever played on the same team, the two of them would likely suffer concussions from punching one another in the face on the sideline during a game.

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...
