What I learned in week 5 of the NFL season

In week 5 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., due to how awful the New York Jets pass protection is, Geno Smith and Michael Vick will spend the rest of the season telling the media, "Honestly, I think the other guy should start."

- ..., when Aaron Rodgers says "relax," people should f**king relax!

- ..., after the season, the Detroit Lions will likely ask that the league adopt a no-kicker policy.

- ...even this year's Pittsburgh Steelers defense can look like the steel curtain of old when facing the Jacksonville Jaguars.

- ...since Tom Brady seems to play so well when angry, Bill Belichick will pay random guys to hit on his wife, Gisele Bundchen, before every game. Belichick has reportedly volunteered to be the first such individual. You go, Bill!

- ...it's sad when the Oakland Raiders have their best week of the season during a bye.

- ...Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns coaches are going to swap notes on how to play well in the first half vs. how to play well in the second half since neither team seems to realize each game is comprised of four quarters. If the game were called a "dollar," perhaps this would help.

- ..., that after getting carried off the field by players in the Buffalo Bills' 17-14 win over the Detroit Lions, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said, "This is the most action I've gotten in years! Just ask my wife!"

- ...heart attacks are likely up this year in Cleveland.

- ...Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford sent Pro Bowl receive Calvin Johnson the following tweet after the game on Sunday, "Please get well soon. I just don't feel complete without you, and my stats show it. xoxo."

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...
