What I learned in Week 1 of the NFL season

In week 1 of the NFL season, I learned that: 

- ...no matter how good the New Orleans Saints offense is, their defense still resembles the Aints.

- ...before too long, the St. Louis Rams may have to start their sixth-string quarterback, whom is none other than head coach Jeff Fisher.

- ...Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is the master of leading his team to field goal drives, which is reason enough for his huge contract (that and his red hair).

- ...Chip Kelly made the following speech at halftime when finding his team trailing the Jacksonville Jaguars 17-0 at home - "Okay, guys... Remember that challenge I set for you at the start of this week? We've spotted them 17. Now it's time to get serious."

- ...even if the league decides to go flag-football to prevent injuries, the Seattle Seahawks defense will still find a way to dominate. 

- ...after two Super Bowl victories together, New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and quarterback Eli Manning are still trying to garner a sense of how good the other actually is.

- ...Jerry Jones is not currently driving through downtown Dallas, yelling through a megaphone, "How 'bout them Cowboys?"

- ...Andy Reid is seriously thinking about suiting up and playing defense for his Kansas City Chiefs.

- ...for the rest of the season, Buffalo fans will prank call random folks in Chicago, and just blurt out two words - "Da Bills!"

- ...the Washington Redskins may eventually change their name to the Washington Zeroandfourskins.

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...
