What I learned in Week 12 of the NFL season

In Week 12 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., if you had teamed up Tom Brady with Jason Garrett and Jerry Jones, you'd wind up with zero Super Bowls, zero MVPs, and a Ms. Debbie Downer Brady.

- ..., as Jeff Foxworthy might say, "If your name is Sam Darnold, you get breathed on funny by a defender after a sack, and you throw a flag, you might be a ref!"

- ...Mike Tomlin is apparently asking the NFL to reconsider a suspension for his quarterback Mason Rudolph due to foul play.

- ...the happiest person this Thanksgiving will be Marvin Lewis, as he'll be shouting to the highest of heavens, "Thank God I'm not with the f*ckin' Bengals anymore! Amen!"

- ...Weird Al will likely parody the '90s Offspring song, "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)," with "He Can Kinda Fly (For a White Guy)," which will center around Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

- ...it's only a matter of time before Dwayne Haskins asks fans to take a picture of him planking right after getting snapped the ball in the 4th quarter of a 3-point game.

- ...between Daniel Jones's fumbling issues and Jameis Winston's tendency to throw to the wrong team, scientists will now be able to create the most turnover-prone quarterback in NFL history. Rumor has it the Dolphins are in talks about trading up in the draft to get him.

- ..., not being able to play due to suspension, Myles Garrett attempted to feel like part of the team this past week, as he swam in a local aquarium and swung helmets at actual dolphins.

- ...what Philip Rivers enjoys doing most during bye weeks is the same thing he enjoys doing most during games - whine.

- ..., 36 hours after the game ended, the 49ers just scored again against the Packers.

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...
