What I learned in week 3 of the NFL season

In week 3 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...it's San Francisco's goal to make the term "bonehead penalty" synonymous with "49ers," and by the end of the season, for an announcer to make the following statement during a game where Jim Harbaugh's team isn't playing: "Whoa! Did you see that? It looks like that guy just pulled a 49ers, which will cost his team 15 yards and possibly the game."

- ...if there were such a thing as the Self-Destructive Bowl, the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers would be the two favorites to reach that all too desired game.

- ...Cleveland Browns fans are bound to build their own hotel in the near future, and call it, Heartbreak Hotel.

- ...using the prevent defense against Peyton Manning is about as useful as condoms with holes in them.

- ...the New England Patriots offense looks about as dominant as Bill Belichick is sexy standing in his hoodie on the sidelines.

- ...if Jacksonville swapped rosters with Florida State, the Jaguars might be an improved team.

- ...Washington and Philadelphia like each other about as much as Native Americans like the term "Redskins."

- ...Tampa Bay may fight Jacksonville to swap rosters with Florida State.

- ...50% of referees are bound to pull a muscle in their throwing arm at some point this season due to throwing too many penalty flags.

- ..., starting on January 1st of 2015, next to the term "floater" in the dictionary will be a picture of Geno Smith throwing a football.

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...
