What I learned in Week 14 of the NFL season

- Snow football is a lot more fun to watch than play in, unless you're allowed to wear a winter coat, gloves, snow-pants, boots, a hat, a mask, long johns, and get to have hot chocolate during spontaneous breaks taken throughout the game.

- I wonder what analysts will criticize Peyton Manning for now after he threw for 397 yards and helped put up 51 points in cold weather. My guess is his Papa Johns commercials - that or being Eli's brother.

- The New England Patriots may be the most hated team in the NFL. This has to make it all the more excruciating for football fans to continually see them pull wins out of their arses. At the current pace they're going, my guess is they'll win the Super Bowl on a last-second ten-point play - the first in the history of the game.

- Teams in the AFC South are a combined 19-33 on the season. The fact the 8-5 Indianapolis Colts won the division yesterday after getting blown out by Cincinnati, due to 5-8 Tennessee losing in a similar fashion to Denver, is a direct indicator of how sad the division is this year. This season, winning the AFC South would be akin to being named the Valedictorian of a class of two people.

- The New York Jets are as unpredictable as a deaf, blind, bipolar person with a gun always in hand.

- The first time Bill Belichick smiled was... Hmm... I may have to get back to that one.

- Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is wishing he had gotten in the way of Dolphins players a couple of times yesterday.

- Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak suffered a stroke and then got fired, just before Christmas no less. If Thanksgiving were this week, he'd likely tell his family, "I'm thankful for... Well, not really my health. I'm thankful for... Not that my team sucked this year. Hmm... I know - I'm thankful I'm no longer with the Houston Texans! Yee-haw! Okay, let's eat!"

- If for no other reason, Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder may want to change the team's nickname because of how awful they are. If the team name changes, perhaps some people will forget how dreadful the team is, at least until the start of next season.

- Before the season started, some people were picking the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons to meet in the Super Bowl. In next year's draft, the Texans and Falcons could very well wind up with the top two picks. Sports-writers can then say, "Well, they finished first and second in something. That should count for something, right?" Sure...

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!"
