2nd Round NFL Playoff Predictions

Saturday
Game: New Orleans at Seattle

 Pick: Seattle - Look for New Orleans to play with a bit of a chip on their shoulder after getting blown out in Seattle during the regular season. However, with a an extra week to both rest banged up players and prepare for the Saints explosive offense, look for the near-unbeatable-at-home Seahawks  to win there yet again. I'll take Seattle by a touchdown.

Result: Seattle 23 New Orleans 15

Record: 1-0


Game: Indianapolis at New England

 Pick: New England - How the Colts came back from 28 points down in the 3rd quarter to upend the Kansas City Chiefs is still beyond me at this point. However, don't look for that kind of magic (or luck) to happen in back-to-back games, especially on the road facing a Bill Belichick coached team which is coming off a bye week. Look for the Pats to limit T.Y. Hilton in the passing game, and through that, limit the Colts offense. I'll go with the Patriots by 10.

Result: New England 43 Indianapolis 22

Record: 2-0


Sunday
Game: San Francisco at Carolina

Pick: San Francisco - While Carolina was still winning toward the tail-end of the season, they appeared to regress some both offensively and defensively. The 49ers, meanwhile, have gotten hot at the right time, and if there's one team in the NFC I wouldn't want to play right now, it's them. Look for Carolina's defense to keep things close, but for the Niners to prevail in the end. I like San Francisco by a touchdown.

Result: San Francisco 23 Carolina 10

Record: 3-0


Game: San Diego at Denver

 Pick: Denver - One has to give San Diego a lot of credit for playing with a playoff mentality these past five games. They've also played Denver close in both their contests this year. With the game on the road and Peyton Manning and company being given an extra week to prepare, though, I look for the Broncos to win the rubber match of the series and move on to the AFC title game with a two-score victory over the Chargers in this one.

Result: Denver 24 San Diego 17

Record: 4-0

Week 2 Playoff Record: 4-0 (1.000)

Overall Playoff Record: 5-3 (.625)

Regular Season Record: 163-92-1 (.639)

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!"
