What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season...

In Week 6 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...the Pittsburgh Steelers are the Ohio State Buckeyes of the NFL, as it's their goal to win as many games as possible with three different quarterbacks.

- ...Seattle Seahawks upper management is currently inquiring Mariano Rivera if he'd like to make a comeback as the team's closer.

- ..., when the answer is, "What is a catch?," Jeopardy host Alex Trebek is bound to say, "This is what the NFL pretends to be an expert on, but actually knows nothing about."

- ...it's Cam Heyward and DeAngelo Williams' goal to make Roger Goodell the second most hated man in America, behind Turing CEO Martin Shkreli.

- ...the Cleveland Browns tease their fans so much, the team might as well be renamed the Cleveland Blue Balls.

- ...the Miami Dolphins aren't malfunctioning droids after all.

- ...Jim and John Harbaugh are likely doing the Three Wise Men shot, asking one another, "If we're two of the wise men, why couldn't the Michigan punter have been the third?"

- ..., given the Indianapolis Colts' fake punt on Sunday, head coach Chuck Pagano is thinking about implementing 2-on-11 drills in practice.

- ...it's the Denver Broncos defense's goal to outscore the team's offense by season's end.

- ..., even when games aren't being played, there's a pretty good chance at least one official is throwing a flag.

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...
