What I learned in Week 15 of the NFL season...

In Week 15 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...Peyton Manning celebrated Thanksgiving yet again on Thursday night while watching the pitiful Denver Broncos square off against the even more pitiful Indianapolis Colts.

- ...Chicago Bears fans are asking Mitch Trubisky to sign up to Ancestry.com to see if he's secretly related to Jay Cutler.

- ...the Cleveland Browns have unintentionally stoked racial tension across the country, as millions are now saying, "Always bet on black, but always bet against Browns!"

- ...Napoleon Dynamite is playing quarterback again for the Philadelphia Eagles.

- ..."to be or not to be?" will likely get answered before, "A catch or not a catch; that is the question."

- ...a couch potato bum binge-watching Pawn Stars on 5th avenue is putting forth more effort than the Cincinnati Bengals.

- ...it's raining injuries in Seattle.

- ...David Copperfield has got nothing on apparent magician, Jacksonville executive vice president Tom Coughlin.

- ...Derek Carr will likely ask Tom Brady how to improve his ball-handling skills.

- ...it's inevitable that when Ben Roethlisberger tells an inside joke, nobody else in the group is aware of said joke.

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 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...
