Louisville, Kentucky's record-breaking 2-minute concert

A record 175,000 were in attendance at the annual "Kentucky Rockin' Spring Blast" on Saturday to watch The Rolling Stones perform for 2 minutes. After playing slightly over half of their hit song, "Start Me Up," Mick Jagger and company left the stage, only to never return. Those in attendance, many who had arrived hours beforehand, then gave a goosebump-inducing standing ovation, which was said to have lasted three times the length of the concert. When I asked a few of the attendees what they thought of the show and overall experience, here's what they had to say:

- "That's 2 minutes I'll never get back, and it's 2 minutes I never want to get back! It was that good!" - Scarlet Grey (Ann Arbor, Michigan)

- "I tell you what... If I had a dime for every time I lasted longer than that in the bedroom, I'd be broke." - Jim Levenstein (American Pie)

- "That was, without question, the best $300 I ever spent!" - Donald Drumpf (Uranus)

Following the record-breaking show, the founders of the Kentucky Rockin' Spring Blast went to the bank, sporting their new personalized license plate, which read, "SUCKAS".

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 ...
