Future Dance Instructor Floyd Mayweather

After defeating Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night, boxing great Floyd Mayweather said that after his boxing career comes to a close, he's going to become a dance instructor.

"If there's one thing I like more than punching people in the face, it's dancing," said the 38-year-old Mayweather, adding, "Whether it's in the ring, with the press, or elsewhere, there's one thing I've always excelled at, and that's dancing."

When asked what type of dancing Mayweather would teach, he said this:

"There isn't really a specific name for my kind of dancing. It's different from any other kind of dancing. With the dancing I'm gonna teach, guys all over the world will start taking their ladies out on the dance-floor, with their fists raised up, moving their heads side to side, and trying to keep as far away from these women as possible. Every now and again, perhaps toward the mid portions of songs, guys will reach out for their dance partners and wrap their arms around them until the women push them off. Then, every now and again, they'll kind of bounce around in circles around these ladies before moving in again and starting the cycle all over again. It takes a lot of energy out of you to do this off and on for up to 36 minutes at a time, let alone trying to avoid women flinging purses at your face or spraying Mace toward you. You know what? Now that I've thought about it, that Duck Dynasty was a hit show; perhaps I'll just call this 'Defensive Duck Dancing,' or DDD. Yeah, that sounds good."

I then asked the boxing great if his dancing class would be as boring as his fights, and he responded, "Yeah, probably, but people will still pay money to see it live on pay-per-view. This time, though, I'll probably only charge $50 per lesson. It's a bargain if you ask me."

Lastly, after asking him a question concerning his domestic violence allegations, Mayweather danced around the subject entirely before singing Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself."

After reading this article, Manny Pacquiao reportedly said, "'Dancing With Myself'? In or out of the ring, how fitting..."

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 ...
