What I learned in Week 11 of the NFL season...

In Week 11 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...it's more fun watching paint dry while completely sober than watching Tennessee and Jacksonville play something resembling football.

- ...the last thing Chip Kelly plans on doing at the moment is singing "Don't Worry, Be Happy" to Philadelphia Eagles fans.

- ...ESPN analysts apparently don't need to take Cialis while talking about Brock Osweiler leading the Denver Broncos to an unprecedented 17 points.

- ...the St. Louis Rams and Philadelphia Eagles are asking for a do-over when they swapped quarterbacks preseason; the New York Jets, however, are not asking for Mark Sanchez back.

- ...the media was probably quite tempted to start yelling at Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins following his team's dismal performance against the Carolina Panthers, "You like that?!? You like that?!?"

- ...it'll only be a matter of time before a referee says, "Breathing in the direction of the receiver, #25, defense, 5-yard penalty, automatic first down."

- ...the St. Louis Rams offense is now the antithesis to "the greatest show on turf."

- ...Joe Flacco and Colin Kaepernick, both out for the rest of the season with injuries, are planning on singing a duet of Michael Jackson's song, "Remember the Time," altering the chorus to, "Do you remember the time when we were really good? Do you remember the time we were in the Super Bowl?"

- ..., after winning for the first time in two months, closing the gap with division-leading New York to two games, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is likely thinking, "We're right where we wanna be. How 'bout them Cowboys?"

- ...refs like to inadvertently blow their whistles when Tom Brady holds balls in his hands.

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...
