Where's the Beef? Look no further than Tim Tebow possibly...

Being from Omaha, Nebraska, I found this next bit of news to be pretty funny. Just the other day, the New York Jets announced that they would be releasing back-up quarterback Tim Tebow. Who's the first team to show a public interest in the partial quarterback? The Omaha Beef of the Arena Football League!

Current Beef quarterback, James McNear, didn't seem phased at all by the announcement, saying, "I think Tim can learn a lot from me."

You read that correctly - an Arena football quarterback by the name of James McNear (who?) said that Tim Tebow could learn a lot from him.

Perhaps McNear is correct, since he's competing 70% of his passes, with 21 touchdowns, compared to only 2 interceptions. Tebow, on the other hand, has completed right around 48% of his passes through his NFL career to this point.

So, if Tebow likely won't be starting for the Beef, what's in it for him? As the article states, "...and the Nebraska indoor football team will even pay him $75 a game."

That's big money for a guy who was just released by an NFL team!

Rumor has it that when Tebow was sarcastically asked by a reporter following this announcement, "Where's the beef?," Tebow responded with, "In my pants."

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...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

Film Critic Steve Rhodes Has Some Issues

Normally, I don't "bash" movie critics, because what's the point? We all have different tastes in film, so who am I to say that their tastes are wrong? But, I just bumped into a critic online the other day, and I really have to wonder about him. There is not much consistency with what he likes and doesn't like. Check that, he dislikes anything with George Clooney, he either strongly likes or dislikes films dealing with politics, and he typically enjoys Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Keep in mind that this is a major film critic. This is not a guy like me who writes blog reviews after I view a film at the theaters. Also keep in mind that I'm very open-minded when it comes to films. I enjoy: comedies, dramas, science-fiction, action, suspense/mystery, horror, romantic comedies, romance, foreign, independent, satires, amongst others. It takes a lot for me to sit down, watch a film, and dislike it. There are only a few films where after the credits start rolling, I...
