What I learned in Week 11 of the NFL regular season

- When betting on a New York Jets game this season, there's a 72% chance you'll be wrong.

- The Baltimore Ravens like delays about as much as alcoholics like mornings.

- There's a 3 : 1 chance that, at some point in the near future, Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback Alex Smith flies to San Francisco, laughs in Jim Harbaugh's face, and flies back to KC.

- Peyton Manning, with one bum ankle, is better than every quarterback in the league not named a healthy Aaron Rodgers.

- Atlanta and Houston should square off in a game called, "Somebody's gotta win, right?" Then again, knowing them, they'll probably tie.

- In the near future, Detroit Lions' head coach Jim Schwartz will, up by 4 with 30 seconds left, fake a punt from his own 2-yard line, and after losing, defend his call as being "gutsy."

- Pretty soon, sneezing in the quarterback's direction will result in a 15-yard penalty. There's also talk about the looking-at-the-quarterback-funny penalty being implemented next season.

- After the win on Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals defense told starting quarterback Andy Dalton to just take a knee every down and let them score all the points. Dalton responded by getting picked off yet again.

- After his great performance on Sunday, Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback Carson Palmer is in the running to become the second oldest Heisman Trophy winner, next to Chris Weinke.

- From this point forward, Tampa Bay players and coaches will be saying a prayer every night that the season officially started last Monday. To this point, God is ignoring the request.

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...
