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...

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...
