In Week 8 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...side effects to Dan Campbell's steroid-induced tirades oddly don't appear for 2-3 weeks after first consumed.

- ...London will likely bar Detroit Lions players and coaches from ever stepping foot inside the city again.

- ..., not only does Colin Kaepernick lack eyes in the back of his head, he appears to lack eyes in the front of it as well.

- ...video game numbers were likely envious of those put up by Drew Brees and Eli Manning in the Saints' 52-49 win over the Giants.

- ...petitions should start going around prohibiting AFC South and NFC East teams from making the playoffs.

- ...only the Detroit Lions defense can make Alex Smith look like Barry Sanders.

- ...Geno Smith, even when sober, often times needs directions to find his way back home.

- ...the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers are thinking about being part of a new reality television series, entitled, Injured Quarterback Swap.

- ..., over the past three weeks, it appears as though the Atlanta Falcons offense believes the end zone is at the opponent's 20-yard-line.

- ..., when Shirley Manson sang, "I'm Only Happy When It Rains," she apparently wasn't talking about Andrew Luck and Cam Newton.

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 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.

That's the thing with TouchTun...

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...
