What I learned in Week 15 of the NFL season...

In Week 15 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...(Kellen) Moore is now less in Dallas.

- ...Josh Norman and Odell Beckham Jr. will likely square off in a pay-per-view fight in the offseason, tentatively titled, "Cat Fights But With Helmets."

- ..., leading his team to a 7-7 campaign and first place standing in the NFC East, Kirk Cousins is continuing to "like that" a great deal.

- ...there are times the Miami Dolphins seriously believe they are playing in water.

- ...DeMarco Murray's butt is still numb 36 hours after sitting on the bench, and will be asking Santa for a buttwarmer for Christmas.

- ...the Denver Broncos offense is starting a petition to condense the games from 60 to 30 minutes.

- ...Johnny Manziel may have asked Russell Wilson to be his full-time DD in the offseason.

- ...Da Bears have already begun hibernating and may not return for at least another year.

- ...the San Diego Chargers will implement the quarterback-recovering-a-fumble-by-a-defender-who-intercepted-a-pass-of-his into the playbook for next year.

- ..., with two weeks left in the regular season, DraftKings and FanDuel experts have finally decided to provide one tip to other participants: "You know the New Orleans Saints? Always take the quarterback facing their defense."

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.

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 ...
