What I learned in Week 17 of the NFL season

- Kyle Orton can do a perfect Tony Romo impersonation, where he can play well for 59 minutes, but with a chance to win the game in the final minute, he throws an interception.

- There's a reason why blue is the most prominent color for the Detroit Lions. It's because they have a tendency to blue-ball their fans by teasing them for 59 minutes before finding a way to lose at game's end.

- In just one game, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers proved he's the MVP of the NFC. Without Rodgers, Packers fans tend to cover their faces with cheeseheads. With Rodgers, these same fans wear these ridiculous "hats" with pride.

- The San Diego Chargers are grateful they don't have to face the Kansas City Chiefs again this coming weekend. With their starters playing, the Chargers beat the Chiefs' back-ups by a field goal in overtime on Sunday. Just imagine what would happen if they faced Kansas City's starters. In that scenario, Chiefs coach Andy Reid might say, "Hey, our back-ups took your starters to overtime. Let's see what happens when our starters play your back-ups."

- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles needs to remember not to place glue on his throwing hand before taking the snap from center five to ten times a game.

- Atlanta and Houston were picked by many to follow up their 12-4 seasons from a year ago with Super Bowl campaigns this year. Combined, the two teams finished 6-26. Congratulations! Things are so bad for the two teams, many of the players' wives are even telling them, "Here - place this bag over your head or else you won't be getting any from me." In response, most of the players have said, "Turn your phone off and we'll call it a deal."

- After another disappointing loss and season for Jay Cutler and his Chicago Bears, Cutler again refused to show emotion at the post-game press conference, saying, "Uh, yeah, like, whatever, and stuff."

- Following their team's disappointing 3-13 season, Washington Redskins fans have started a petition on changing the team name to the Foreskins to avoid further embarrassment.

- Quarterbacks around the league have suggested to the commissioner that Peyton Manning only be allowed to play one half per game so that their numbers don't look so bad in comparison.

- No matter what question he's asked by the press, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's answer is always the same: "I've got a strong arm. Give 110%. Throw it to Calvin Johnson. Yeah."

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...
