What I learned in Week 8 of the NFL season

In Week 8 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., when a Kyler Murray pass takes flight in the end zone, A.J. Green will be on stand-by, literally...

- ..., with Mike White bursting onto the scene, Zach Wilson may become the Ty Detmer of Josh Rosens.

- ...Carson Wentz is up to his old picks...

- ...Matthew Stafford must miss Detroit like Preparation H misses Uranus.

- ..., from this day forward, Aaron Rodgers shall be known as "the Dickhead Double-Check Guy."

- ...the city of Las Vegas is set to sue the Raiders for disproving their slogan of "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."

- ...the ghost of Yogi Berra is alive and well. It has to be. That is the only way to explain Mike Tomlin's nonsensical decision to fake a field goal and scramble with his kicker, when there was no back-up. To this, Berra would say, "Sometimes no option is your best option."

- ...it seems all but certain COVID protocols have been extended to officiating, for if any defender gets within 6' of an opposing quarterback, he's guilty of roughing.

- ...the Detroit Lions are like that ugly friend you go to clubs with, for any time you're next to them, you lookin' good.

 ...Bourbon Meyer needs another shot...

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...
