What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season

- Even if the Jacksonville Jaguars play their best game, there's a decent chance they'll still lose.

- Regardless of the quarterback, it's the Houston Texans' goal to throw a pick-six in every game for the rest of the season.

- At the end of the season, there will be a Top 10 list of worst turnovers by Geno Smith and Brandon Weeden on SportsCenter.

- Flipping a coin week in and week out for the Baltimore Ravens games is probably as good of a strategy as any.

- The Manning Thanksgiving dinner may get a little awkward, where Archie will look both Peyton and Eli in the eyes and say, "I'm so proud of both of you," before chuckling, and blaming that on a joke he heard the previous week, which he fails to recall when asked to do so.

- The New York Giants and Houston Texans are hoping to face one another soon so one of them can remember how to win again.

- Sean Payton places too much faith in a defense which ranked 32nd in the NFL last year, especially against Tom Brady.

- Thanks to the Oakland Raiders, I can now say I saw a 4th-and-48 outside of a video game. 

- RGIII secretly wishes he could play against his own team's defense.

- Greg Schiano may want to start looking at college coaching jobs again.

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 ...
