What I learned in Week 9 of the NFL season

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

- ..., when his football career is completed, Philip Rivers' next job will inevitably be a martial arts instructor, where he specializes in the move "the fall-back air-slap."

- ...the once unstoppable Legion of Doom in Seattle will now be nicknamed the Legion of Who's Covering Who?

- ...the 2-7 Giants have a better shot at making the playoffs than Donald Trump, with his likely 232 electoral votes, has at being re-elected. Too soon?

- ...last-second losses are to the Los Angeles Chargers what herpes is to latex-allergic nymphomaniacs. It just comes naturally to them.

- ...the only thing more prevalent than MVP Awards and Super Bowl rings when Tom Brady and Drew Brees match up is the number of times they check their bingo cards on the sideline.

- ..., for some strange reason, when Dalvin Cook is on the opposing side, the Detroit Lions defense practices social-distancing to an incredibly exaggerated level.

- ..., after seeing new Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback Tom Brady toss 3 interceptions, Jameis Winston reportedly said, "Hey, I can do that, and at least with me, you get free crab legs!"

- ..., if I ever give the online-dating thing another go, I'll be certain to write, "Looking for someone to love me as much as Tony Romo loves an oval brown ball, with laces, made out of pigskin."

- ...the only thing worse than COVID in the Tampa area right now is the curse of AB (Antonio Brown). Fortunately, it's not contagious, so you won't need a shot. If your Buccs fans, however, you may need Xanax.

- ...Christian McCaffrey's new nickname is CMC. Given that, it's going to only be a matter of time before "Walk This Way" plays on the speakers after he runs the ball, as the fans chant, "Run CMC."

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...
