What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season...

In Week 6 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...the Pittsburgh Steelers are the Ohio State Buckeyes of the NFL, as it's their goal to win as many games as possible with three different quarterbacks.

- ...Seattle Seahawks upper management is currently inquiring Mariano Rivera if he'd like to make a comeback as the team's closer.

- ..., when the answer is, "What is a catch?," Jeopardy host Alex Trebek is bound to say, "This is what the NFL pretends to be an expert on, but actually knows nothing about."

- ...it's Cam Heyward and DeAngelo Williams' goal to make Roger Goodell the second most hated man in America, behind Turing CEO Martin Shkreli.

- ...the Cleveland Browns tease their fans so much, the team might as well be renamed the Cleveland Blue Balls.

- ...the Miami Dolphins aren't malfunctioning droids after all.

- ...Jim and John Harbaugh are likely doing the Three Wise Men shot, asking one another, "If we're two of the wise men, why couldn't the Michigan punter have been the third?"

- ..., given the Indianapolis Colts' fake punt on Sunday, head coach Chuck Pagano is thinking about implementing 2-on-11 drills in practice.

- ...it's the Denver Broncos defense's goal to outscore the team's offense by season's end.

- ..., even when games aren't being played, there's a pretty good chance at least one official is throwing a flag.

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...
