What I learned in Week 8 of the NFL season,,,

In Week 8 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., as New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has demonstrated, one of the side effects of getting over mononucleosis is seeing ghosts for at least 2 weeks.

- ...Indianapolis Colts place kicker Adam Vinatieri is the first 96-year-old to ever go from goat to GOAT in an NFL game.

- ..., at just the halfway point of the season, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is already being named the Walter Payton Man of the Year, due to his volunteer and charity work. For the first time in the history of the award, it's being given to an individual for their giving nature on the field and not off it.

- ...Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield won an old college bet that you CAN in fact get intercepted on a shovel pass. Quick, someone get that guy a Busch!

- ...the three slowest moving things in history are, in no particular order: a sloth on Prozac; a dead person; and a Philip Rivers pass.

- ...Chicago shall now be known as the burnt-out Bears, for their offense continually puts forth time, energy, and effort, yet constantly feel as if they accomplished nothing. Sadly for them, they're usually right.

- ..., in his spare time, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is obviously a magician, for even when he looks straight at the ground, he can see downfield better than anyone in human history, even that old creepy neighbor of yours with the binoculars.

- ..., even after seeing their team improve to 7-0, San Francisco 49ers fans are making like Cleveland Indians fans from the film "Major League," and asking, "Who are these f*cking guys?!?"

- ...the question on everyone's mind has finally been answered - yes, the New Orleans Saints can win without 5-0 backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

- ...the Cincinnati Bengals are bloody awful blokes, regardless of the country they play in. Their playcalling in London was barmy codswallop. Fans deserve to be narked and get pissed while noshing up.

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...
