Texas state Representative Tony Dale suddenly believes in gun-control!

Allow me to introduce all my readers to Texas state Representative Tony Dale. He's a Republican currently serving his first term in office, was given a 92% grade by the National Rifle Association, and just recently sent a two-page letter to U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), making it fully known he adamantly opposed allowing any Syrian refugees in the state. Why? I'll allow the anti-gun-control Texas state representative to tell you himself:

"While the Paris attackers used suicide vests and grenades it is clear that firearms also killed a large number of innocent victims. Can you imagine a scenario were [sic] a refugees [sic] is admitted to the United States, is provided federal cash payments and other assistance, obtains a drivers license and purchases a weapon and executes an attack?"

That's right, ladies and gentlemen; Tony Dale just admitted gun laws are too lax in his state. Since his recent statement contradicts pretty much every talking point he and the NRA have made through the years, expect the Texas state representative to alter some of them to the following:

- "Guns don't kill people; guns in Syrian refugees' hands kill people!"

-  "The right to bear arms shall not be infringed, unless you're a Syrian!"

- "The only way to kill a bad Syrian with a gun is a good Syrian, I mean, American with a gun!"

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 ...
