What I learned in Week 16 of the NFL season...

In Week 16 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...some Washington politicians are now referring to themselves as Redskins to save themselves the embarrassment of having to tell people they're members of Congress.

- ...Marcus Mariota and Chip Kelly are asking if it's possible to be traded to Oregon before the start of next season.

- ...if Johnny Manziel is caught drinking wine at church for communion, it will cause a media uproar.

- ...a team of actual dolphins could currently defeat the Miami Dolphins in a game of football on land.

- ...even Jerry Jones could pull off a mime costume on Halloween, if in front of the media for 10 minutes after the Cowboys' 11th loss of the season.

- ..., in allowing just one touchdown to the Carolina Panthers, the Atlanta Falcons defense is obviously anti-giving kids footballs.

- ...Aaron Rodgers may start shouting, "Mad blitz double-check," before raising his hands in the air while sitting on his backside.

- ...the NYG aren't much without OBJ.

- ...A.J. McCarron wasn't a catcher in a former life.

- ...Brandon McManus instinctually yelled, "Four!" after his one-in-a-lifetime shank at the end of regulation against the Cincinnati Bengals. If not for his make in overtime, he'd be forever known as McShankus.

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...
