Things I learned in Week 16 of the NFL season

- If the ultimate goal for teams was to lose via last-second field goals, the Detroit Lions would be on their way to the Super Bowl.

- Seattle has moved from unbeatable to almost unbeatable at home.

- Peyton Manning broke the record for touchdown passes in a season with 51, while his brother Eli Manning has 25 interceptions to his credit, which isn't even a personal record. All Peyton wants for Christmas is another Super Bowl ring and all Eli wants for Christmas is for his brother and defenders to stop making him look bad.

- When the Dolphins have to travel from an area that has 75 degree temperatures to Buffalo in late-December, it's probably wise to bet that Miami will score fewer points than the temperature at game-time.

- If this were Thanksgiving, Carolina quarterback Cam Newton would be giving thanks that he can put together just one good drive against a 10-4 New Orleans Saints team and lead his team to a victory due to the strength of the Panthers defense.

- The "Schwartz" obviously isn't Detroit Lions head coach Jim.

- The Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns should play in a bowl game called The We Always Seem To Find Ways To Lose Bowl. Yes, it would likely end in a tie.

- The officials at the Pittsburgh Steelers/Green Bay Packers game are thanking the football gods that Pittsburgh won after they botched a call when the Steelers blocked a Mason Crosby field goal. After the crew gets fined or suspended by the league, they'll make it a point to read the rule-book again - sober, this time.

- On Halloween next year, Joe Flacco will likely dress up like Tom Brady, because he wants to be him when he grows up, while Tom Brady will just go as himself.

 - If the Cleveland Browns had a middle name, it would be Almost.

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!"
