What I learned in Week 1 of the NFL season...

In Week 1 of the NFL season, I learned...

...Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll may one day write a parody of the Three Dog Night song, "One," where in the chorus he sings, "One is the longest yard, one is the longest yard, one is the longest yard I've ever seen."

...New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin likely called Pete Carroll up after the Giants/Cowboys game and said, "You know all the crap you got for your call at the 1-yard line in the Super Bowl? I'm about to get even more crap for my call, which was ten times dumber than yours! So, yeah, I've got that going for me, which is nice."

...it may soon be seen as patriotic to despise the New England Patriots.

...that while Jameis Winston's first throw in the NFL was a pick-six, at least he could tell himself, "It can only go up from here." Then again, the Buccaneers wound up losing to the Tennessee Titans 42-14.

...Peyton Manning may soon be asking Papa John's owner John Schnatter what the ingredients are to regaining his form from a couple years ago (this may include consuming fewer Papa John's pizzas).

...Cleveland Browns fans are already asking, "When's the NBA season start?"

..., with the way he played on Sunday, Tennessee Titans' soft-spoken rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota may tell the press, "This was a great team effort," but deep down inside, he's saying, "I'm so f**king awesome!"

...the Oakland Raiders are bound to become the Chicago Cubs of the NFL (pre-Joe Maddon), as analysts continually project them to be improved and a sleeper, before quickly uttering after the season starts, "Eh, maybe next year."

...God likely punished Chip Kelly for cutting Tim Tebow.

...more missed extra points makes the games so much more exciting.

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...
