Fox News' All-American New Year's Eve Special!

As I was flipping through the channels while the countdowns were nearing zeroes on New Year's Eve, I couldn't help but notice something different about Fox News. On just about every other channel, on a bottom corner of the screen, it read, "New Year's Eve Bash" or "New Year's Eve Party." But, no, not Fox News. They decided to go a different direction. On the bottom right corner of their screen read the words, "All-American New Year's Eve Special." Yes, Fox News is special all right...

Were the parties in Los Angeles and New York City not American enough for Fox News? Have they looked at a map in recent years? A globe? Anything where the two heaviest populated cities in the country could be spotted? Do they simply believe that adding "America" or "American" to anything deems one more patriotic than another? Are they the "real" Americans as opposed to all other networks? Yeah, like I said, Fox News certainly is "shpeshal." Due to what I observed on the network on New Year's Eve, I wouldn't be surprised to see the following labels or titles showcase by the channel in the coming year:

- "We Have a Dream to Stop Celebrating MILK Day or Whatever It's Called"

- "Have a Red, White, and Blue Valentine's Day - Red for love, White for the people of this country, and Blue for the singles"

- "Happy Independence Day to the Greatest Country in the History of the Country of the World of the Universe and Beyond"

- "Thanking God, Pilgrims, and Natives for Thanksgiving"

- "Merry Christmas to All Americans Who Are Christian and Will Be Going to Heaven"

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 ...
