What I learned in Week 12 of the NFL season...

In Week 12 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...while the Kansas City Chiefs have beaten the defending Super Bowl champs, the Seattle Seahawks, two of their four losses have come against Tennessee and Oakland, whom have a combined record of 3-19. When head coach Andy Reid was asked who he'd prefer to play if his team makes the playoffs, he said, "So long as they have a winning record, I think we'll be okay."

- ...after throwing his first pick in the 3rd quarter against the Buffalo Bills and getting pulled, New York Jets quarterback Michael Vick looked at coach Rex Ryan and said, "What the hell, man? You pulled Geno in our last game against them after throwing three picks in our first three drives! Come on, man!"

- ..., with their 34-9 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is now 0-17 against teams on the road that finished the season above .500. When asked about this incredible stat, Stafford said, "Yeah, man... I'm due... I'm like due, man."

- ..., following another example of poor clock management in their 26-24 loss to Cleveland on Sunday, Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith said, "How many minutes are there in the 4th quarter again? There are only four quarters, right?"

- ...Johnny Manziel will likely star in a reality television show called, Johnny Entourage.

- ..., during their bye week, Carolina Panthers coaches and players threw a "We Didn't Lose" party. Yes, a couple of fans were there too.

- ..., after getting 6 feet of snow and with little chance of making the playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl, when asked where they were headed, most Buffalo Bills players yelled, "I'm going to Disneyworld!"

- ...Washington Redksins head coach Jay Cruden and quarterback Robert Griffin III won't be starring together in a bromance film anytime soon.

- ..., at 8-3, Dallas Cowboys fans, coaches, and players are still wondering if they'll finish 8-8.

- ...Spiderman isn't a fictional character. His real name is Odell Beckham, Jr.

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!"
