What I learned in Week 1 of the NFL season...

In Week 1 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ..., that for at least one week, courtesy of Tom Brady, 40 is not the new 25.

- ...Rex Ryan is about as gifted of an announcer as he was a coach.

- ...Carson Palmer is now showing his age on the field more than Hugh Hefner is at a nude beach.

- ..., if things don't start to improve, Russell Wilson may refer to his offensive line as "The Broken Condom."

- ...Matthew Stafford has a serious fear of playing while ahead.

- ...all the Rams needed to wake their offense up from a deeper slumber than Rip Van Winkle was to move from St. Louis to Los Angeles.

- ...the New York Giants' offense without Odell Beckham is like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without PB & J.

- ...that referee John Hussey may be actor Tim Bagley's clone. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0046730/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t7, https://www.google.com/search?q=ref+john+hussey&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiqkYmOxaDWAhWMLSYKHQfrAPcQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1342&bih=770)

- ...the Indianapolis Colts may be an average team with Andrew Luck, but they make the Cleveland Browns look like a Super Bowl contender without him.

- ...a lot of money may have been lost, as the two biggest blowouts wins were held by the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars, two teams that combined to go 7-25 last year. As Chris Myers used to say on SportsCenter, "That deserves a wow."

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

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
