What I learned in Week 17 of the NFL season

In Week 17 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., if playwright Edward Albee were still alive, he'd likely write, "Who's Afraid of John Wolford?"

- ..., if you breathe within 6' of Kirk Cousins, you'll be flagged for roughing the passer.

- ...Jon Gruden is a much more imposing figure when he resembles the beer-belly rendition of the Chucky doll.

- ...the Cleveland Browns hands team knows only one play - what they call the Heart Attack Induction.

- ..., if you want to make-a-wish to score a touchdown in an NFL game, it doesn't matter who you are, just line up behind the Baltimore Ravens o-line and face the Cincinnati Bungles.

- ...the Miami rookie quarterback was nicknamed "Tua Tackle, Vailoa!," for he threw so many picks, coaches constantly yelled at him to tackle the defender with the ball.

- ...those Chuck Norris memes are so 2010 and need to be replaced with ones featuring Derrick Henry. Unlike with Norris, though, the Henry "jokes" will all be true.

- ...Gardner Minshew will have the most serious job in the league next season - teaching future Jaguar Trevor Lawrence how to grow a mustache.

- ..."SNL" should run a classic George Wendt-led segment, where another Bears fan drunkenly blurts, "Who lost the last game of the regular season and were able to sneak into the playoffs because some Cardinals forgot how to fly? Da Bears!"

- ...Kirk Cousins shall forever be known as "Puffs Ultra," for he's the softest quarterback in the league.

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...
