What I learned in Week 8 of the NFL season

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

- ...Tom Brady may have had more to do with the Belichick magic than his hoodie.

- ...the New York Jets suck more than Donald Trump does Vladimir Putin on Valentine's Day.

- ..., since no one on his team seems able to pronounce his name, Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has told his teammates to simply call him T.T. or Taco Bell.

- ..., rumor has it both Lamar Jackson and Jared Goff recently undergone vasectomies, for they keep seeming to lose their balls.

- ..., when asked about the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, the construction workers from the film "Major League" said, "These guys aren't too f*cking bad."

- ..., after pulling Patrick Mahomes out early in back-to-back weeks, doctors have diagnosed the Kansas City Chiefs with premature domination.

- ...Dalvin Cook has got so much game, he can even score on virgins named Chastity McNocoitusforyou.

- ..., due to the record number of penalties being called, what was once coined "tennis elbow" will now be termed "flag-throwing arm."

- ...the word "least" called and said it wanted to be changed to "even worse than that," so no one could ever again say, "You can't spell 'least' without (NFC) 'East.'"

- ...there will inevitably be a film released in the next handful of years, entitled, "The Curious Case of Cam Newton," where just overnight, a 31-year-old man looks 78.

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...
