Donald Trump doesn't speak "good"

Donald Trump once said,"I know words. I have the best words." Let's put that theory to the test, shall we?

While recently speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump said this:

"The media is very unfair. They're very biased, You look at The New York Times, I mean, the fail - I call it 'The Failing New York Times' because it won't be in business for another, probably more than a few years unless somebody goes in and buys it and wants to lose a lot of money. But The New York Times is so unfair. I mean they write three, four articles about me a day. No matter how good I do on something, they'll never write good. They don't write good. They have people over there, like Maggie Haberman and others, they don't - they don't write good. They don't know how to write good."

Whether that claim is true or not, one thing is for certain - Donald Trump doesn't know how to speak "good." He thinks so, though, which makes it doubly as awful. I can just imagine Trump teaching a public speaking course and starting the semester with the following speech:

"Public speaking, speech, or whatever, is all about speaking good, and let's face it, I speak gooder than all of you, believe me! I, at one time, was where all you losers are, and didn't speak nearly as bigly good as I do now. So I practiced, until I spoke good, then gooder, and finally reaching goodest.
You all can speak goodest too if you talk like me and follow every word of this 2-page book I wrote, entitled, 'Making English Drumpf Again: How to Speak It Way Gooder.'"

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...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

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 ...
