What I learned in Week 5 of the NFL season

In Week 5 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...former Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield has asked Cleveland Browns kicker Greg Joseph for lessons on how to kick a knuckleball.

- ..., while Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano was handed a Get Laid Free card by the team's cheerleaders, Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby will soon star in the film, The 34-Year-Old Born Again Virgin.

- ..., after turning the ball over five times against them, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has been announced as the Kansas City Chiefs Player of the Week.

- ..., after starting 2-3, former head coach Jimmy Johnson reportedly, in a drunken state, shouted, "How 'bout them Cowboys?," after singing "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" at a Fox Sports karaoke bash.

- ..., prior to Sunday night's game against the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's biggest fear was clowns. Now it's Clowney.

- ..., after he threw 2 interceptions compared to 0 touchdown passes, Cris Collinsworth called Patrick Mahomes "unstoppable." Rumor has it, if Mahomes pulled a Blake Bortles and turned it over five times, Collinsworth would say, "I don't ever say this, but is that Tom Brady out there? I mean, seriously, this is just unbelievable!"

- ...the NFL has altered the saying "Rules are rules" to "What's this rule again? Are you sure? Didn't it change last week? What's your horoscope say?"

- ...Eli Manning is in jeopardy of being replaced by Odell Beckham, Jr. If that happens, chances are good he'll attempt to throw 20 passes per game to himself.

- ..., when the Tennessee Titans declared no one could win uglier, the Buffalo Bills told them to hold their Flying Bisons (a beer in Buffalo; Google it).

- ...the life of a kicker in the NFL is like a random, seemingly useless scene in a murder mystery film, for no matter how out of place they may seem at the time, they tend to help ultimately decide the outcome.

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...
