What I learned in Week 9 of the NFL season

In Week 9 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...Oakland's so bad, they're about to receive more Razzie nominations than an Adam Sandler film.

- ..., picking between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers is apparently like picking between the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Having said that, Brady's likely songs would be "Gimme Gisele" and "Time Is On My Side," while Rodgers's would be "All You Need Is Munn" and "We Can Work It Out." But I say, let's just enjoy these two great quarterbacks while they're still in the league and appreciate their talents. So in other words, "Let It Be."

- ...Jeff Foxworthy needs to watch a Detroit Lions game so he can start telling the joke, "If your name is Jim Bob Cooter, you might be a redneck."

- ...the world would be a better place if millennials followed in NFL players' footsteps, where they'd gather with friends at a public place and pose for a picture while holding a make-believe camera or smartphone.

- ...the Detroit Lions protect Matthew Stafford about as well as a holed-up baby sock protects a porn star named Raul Longinschwantz against impregnating a woman.

- ..., when opposing defenses around the league asked Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman to be their BFF, he happily accepted.

- ..., after missing two extra points, Los Angeles Chargers placekicker Caleb Sturgis's job is about as safe as driving in reverse down the Autobahn at 180 mph after hanging out with Willie Nelson for 3 hours in his tour bus.

- ..., when Carrie Underwood sings "Game on!," I'm quite tempted to turn the game off.

- ...the New England Patriots get away with more picks than a guy named Stinky Pete with a wedgie problem at a movie theater.

- ..., if the New England Patriots ran an interception back for a touchdown and Tom Brady was sleeping on the sideline, Cris Collinsworth would say, "That was all Tom Brady right there. Did you see that snore on the sideline? That was part of a secret language between Brady and whoever scored. Just unbelievable."

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...
