Where's the Beef? Look no further than Tim Tebow possibly...

Being from Omaha, Nebraska, I found this next bit of news to be pretty funny. Just the other day, the New York Jets announced that they would be releasing back-up quarterback Tim Tebow. Who's the first team to show a public interest in the partial quarterback? The Omaha Beef of the Arena Football League!

Current Beef quarterback, James McNear, didn't seem phased at all by the announcement, saying, "I think Tim can learn a lot from me."

You read that correctly - an Arena football quarterback by the name of James McNear (who?) said that Tim Tebow could learn a lot from him.

Perhaps McNear is correct, since he's competing 70% of his passes, with 21 touchdowns, compared to only 2 interceptions. Tebow, on the other hand, has completed right around 48% of his passes through his NFL career to this point.

So, if Tebow likely won't be starting for the Beef, what's in it for him? As the article states, "...and the Nebraska indoor football team will even pay him $75 a game."

That's big money for a guy who was just released by an NFL team!

Rumor has it that when Tebow was sarcastically asked by a reporter following this announcement, "Where's the beef?," Tebow responded with, "In my pants."

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...

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 ...
