What I learned in Week 9 of the NFL season

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

- ...geometry class finally paid off, as since the Dolphins beat the Jets and the Jets defeated the Cowboys, through the transitive property it can be said that the Dolphins are better than the Cowboys! True? No, but it's still fun to say...

- ...the Bengals had their bye. This marked the 9th consecutive week they've essentially been off.

- ..., with Baker Mayfield and Gardner Minshew leading teams with a combined record of 6-11, expect the typically steady Moustache stock to take a deep dive late this year, into next year.

- ..., unfortunately for New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, while one can recover from mono, there's no known cure at this time for losing to the Miami Dolphins.

- ...Tyreek Hill has proven reincarnation to be valid, as he's obviously part cheetah.

- ...Mitchell Trubisky is the second-coming of a poor man's Trent Dilfer.

- ...Cris Collinsworth majored in Hyperbolic Rationale at Trump University (spelled Hiperbowelick Rash & Al on the Trump University homepage).

- ...I need to add something to my bucket list: Watching Tom Brady vs. Melvin Gordon run the hurdles. The event would be tentatively titled "The Tortoise and the Hare, Part Over Before It Starts."

- ..., sadly, at the young age of 162, Adam Vinatieri has come down with the yips.

- ...the end of the world as we know it is upon us, for the following three signs merged into one on Sunday: 1) Three quarterbacks with the surname of Allen won (Kyle, Josh, and Brandon); 2) Road teams went 0-11; and Tony Romo, moved to the sideline, failed to make a Packers/Chargers game exciting.

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...
