What I learned in Week 3 of the NFL season...

In Week 3 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...the Atlanta Falcons may soon come out of the closet as an organization, for the team seems to love playing from behind.

- ...Odell Beckham must have super glue on the bottom of his hands.

- ...Cam Newton and Ed Hochuli are in deep contemplation about what to get one another for Christmas.

- ...Miami Dolphins players, coaches, and fans were secretly hoping Ndamukong Suh would stomp on quarterback Ryan Tannehill at some point during their 41-14 loss to Buffalo.

- ...San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick suffered a 3-hour mental lapse, as thought he was an Arizona Cardinal on Sunday.

- ..., with both Josh and Luke McCown starting on Sunday, it's only a matter of time before Cade McNown makes a comeback.

- ...the Chicago Bears performance on Sunday will be used in the future as a guide for all aspiring punters.

- ...Joe Flacco may be going to f**king awesome Disneyworld a bit earlier than expected this year.

- ..., while listening to Blue Oyster Cult's classic, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," Seattle Seahawks players have been heard saying, "You know what we need? More Clausen!"

- ...a 90-degree December game is more likely at Lambeau Stadium than Aaron Rodgers throwing an interception there.

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.

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...

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 ...
