What I learned in Week 10 of the NFL season...

In Week 10 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...it's quite possible that before his atrocious performance on Thursday night, the red-haired Andy Dalton had 30 red beers to match his completion percentage.

- ...Detroit coaches need to hypnotize their offense to think that, for all 60 minutes, there are under 2 minutes to play in the game.

- ...Michael Vick should start campaigning for a starting job next year by saying, "With this bad team, I can win as many games in two weeks as Geno Smith can win in two months!"

- ...Ben Roethlisberger likely woke up Monday morning, called his coaches, and said, "Today's Sunday, right? Wait - that really happened? Sh*t! I'm going back to bed!"

- ...Oakland coaches' inspiring message to their players this week is, "We had them! We played right with the 7-2 Denver Broncos and were up 10-6 at one point! We may have gotten outscored 35-7 after that, but still, we had them right where we wanted them for a few minutes!"

- ...Eli Manning and Drew Brees will be swapping turnover tips to one another this coming week, before calling Brett Favre and asking him for some advice on the matter.

- ...if Arizona scores two defensive touchdowns every week, it won't matter if their starting quarterback is Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton, Ryan Leaf, or Steve Urkel.

- ...in two weeks, the New Orleans Saints snapped their 7-game road losing streak and their 11-game home winning streak. According to the book of Revelation, those are two signs that the end of the world is near. The third is the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series.

- ...Jay Cutler may soon join Matt Leinart and Heath Shuler in the Dish-Network-going-back-to-college commercial.

- ...Aaron Rodgers won't be telling Chicago Bears fans to "relax" anytime soon, unless he wants to piss them off even further.

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...
