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...

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...
