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

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

- ...the Washington Redskins, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and Dallas Cowboys all gave their sincerest thanks for playing in the NFC East.

- ...Aaron Rodgers, to go along with his touchdown celebration dance, is now thinking about coming up with a being-sacked dance.

- ...the Detroit Lions are asking the NFL to only count wins and losses from three weeks back to the end of the season.

- ...the only thing better than Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family is watching two teams with a combined record of 5-15 playing on Monday night.

- ...ESPN faces quite the conundrum, in making up the QBR statistic, yet blessing Brock Osweiler for his stellar 32 rating on the 100-point scale.

- ...Odell Beckham Jr.'s hands are 49% human 51% glue.

- ...players are calling on all officials to attend an FA (Flagoholics Anonymous) meeting very soon.

- ...when asked about his greatest fear, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan instantly responded, "The red zone."

- ...Tom Brady's ultimate dream is to get into a shouting match with Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly.

- ...the same comedians known for making your-mama-is-so-fat jokes are now concocting a list of the New-Orleans-Saints-defense-is-so-bad jokes.

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.

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.

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...
