Donald Trump will never forget where he was on 7-11...

So, as most everyone not living in a cave has heard by now, GOP front-runner Donald Trump committed quite the faux pas at a speech in Buffalo on Monday night, when he said this:

 "I wrote this out, and it's very close to my heart. Because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down. And I saw the greatest people I've ever seen."

Yes, Donald Trump mistook the 9/11 attacks for the convenience store 7-Eleven. Given that slip-up, expect the GOP front-runner to do similarly with regard to the following events:

Event: Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling

Trump: "I for one have never supported the Supreme Court's 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' ruling, and if I'm president, I'll do everything I can to overturn that highly not ethical decision."


Event: Hurricane Katrina

 Trump: "It was a devastating, tremendously devastating storm - that Candy Cane Katrina; there's no doubt about it."


Event: O.J. Simpson murder trial

Trump: "Look, I personally think the gloves kinda fit Homer Simpson's hands, but that's just me, that's just me, and a lot of other white guys."


Event: Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech

Trump: "There's no question the 'I have a dream' speech was inspiring. That King Ralph was a phenomenal speaker. Just unbelievable. Unbelievable."


Event: Columbine school shooting

Trump: "I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news about that Concubine school shooting in Colorado. I was stopping by my favorite convenience store for some coffee - you know, 9-Eleven."

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 ...
