What I learned in Week 13 of the NFL season

In Week 13 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., no matter how well they may play through three quarters, by the end of the game, the Detroit Lions always look like a turkey.

- ..., regardless of how many pencils he has attached to his head, Matt Patricia looks about as smart as a crash test dummy in a smart-car, going straight ahead toward a hummer on the Audubon.

- ...the Dallas Cowboys have been diagnosed with Garrettitis, as they have a seeming inability to beat teams with winning records.

- ..., fortunately for the Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles have been diagnosed with Garrettitis Minus One, as they always seem to be a step back of their NFC East rival.

- ...Freddie Kitchens secretly wears a t-shirt, that he shows off on Instagram, which reads, "I wish Myles Garrett bopped more Steelers on the head with their helmets."

- ...the AARP Patriots are the best team in nursing home history.

- ..., at grocery stores in Indianapolis, in addition to selling eggs at a baker's dozen, they'll now be selling them at a Vinatieri's dozen, or 14, as that's how many kicks he's missed so far this year.

- ..., if you're winless, play the Jets. First it was the Dolphins. Then it was the Bengals. Hey, 0-12 Akron, now it's your turn.

- ..., survival tip #1: Never step in the path of a train which goes by the name of Derrick Henry.

- ..., while I'm not much for praying, after seeing Russell Wilson mic'd up on Monday Night Football, I pray the guy never goes into stand-up. Here's how I envision he'd start his routine: "How's it going, New York? I said, how's it going? Come on! Let's go! Let's go! Clap! Clap! Clap! Let's go! Whooooo!"

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

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
