What I learned in Week 13 of the NFL season...

In Week 13 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...Detroit Lions' and Cleveland Browns' fans are likely going to throw a we-can't-believe-we-lost-that-game party in the very near future.

- ...Tom Brady is on his way to a Hallmark store, getting ready to purchase, sign, and send several "get well soon" cards to Rob Gronkowski.

- ...the Indianapolis Colts appear so old at times, 40-year-old back-up quarterback Matt Hasselbeck appears to be more the norm than an outlier.

- ...the St. Louis Rams coaching staff is set to post fliers all around the city, which say, "MISSING: The St. Louis Rams Offense."

- ...Matt Schaub likes the pick-six like Donald Trump likes talking about himself in hyperbole.

- ..., with the Tennessee/Jacksonville game being the most exciting one of the weekend, it's all but inevitable the world will end soon.

- ..., on Thanksgiving, Brock Osweiler likely said, "I'm thankful for having a great defense behind me to help make me look good."

- ...an unusual fetish of Antonio Brown's is being punched or kicked in the balls.

- ...Tom Coughlin will have to remember to always bring a calculator to the sidelines.

- ...75% of NFL fans got caught up on their sleep Monday night into Tuesday morning, not being able to stay awake through the first quarter of the Dallas Cowboys/Washington Redskins snoozer.

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. 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...
