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...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
