Now the question is - Who's had the more memorable season? Tim Tebow or Aaron Rodgers?

What is with all of these questions comparing Tim Tebow to Aaron Rodgers? First it was "Who's more clutch?" Then I read an article asking which one was more valuable to his team. Now the question is, "Who's season is more memorable?"

Can we please stop this? It's getting ridiculous. Aaron Rodgers has led his Green Bay Packers to a 12-0 record and they have a very good shot at going undefeated this year. Aaron Rodgers has the chance to break four records this year. The all-time best passer rating in a season was set by Peyton Manning in 2004, when he finished the year with a passer rating of 121.1. With four games to go, Rodgers has a rating of 125.8, almost 6 points ahead of Manning. In 2009, Drew Brees set the record by completing 70.9% of his passes. Rodgers has completed 70.6% of his passes, just 0.3% behind Brees. In 2007, Tom Brady passed for 50 touchdowns. Rodgers has thrown 37 touchdowns and is on pace to throw for 49.3 touchdowns. Dan Marino threw for 5,084 yards in 1984. Rodgers has passed for 3,844 yards is on pace for 5,125.3 yards.

Do I really even need to go over Tebow's numbers? I don't think so. Rodgers is MVP of the league this year, could potentially break four all-time passing records and lead his team to an undefeated regular season. Call me crazy, but I'd say his season is more memorable.

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...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
