GOP shocks the world by saying witnesses were of greater importance than Jesus' crucifixion

Showing consistency for the first time in decades and shocking the world in the process, the Republican Party, segueing from their belief that Donald Trump's Russia leaks were of greater importance than the potential criminal activity contained within those leaks, they today said, at Jesus' crucifixion, witnesses were of greater importance than their savior's sacrifice. South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy led the charge, saying the following in an interview with MSNBC's Chuck Todd:

"As everyone knows, I love Jesus. I will always cherish what he did for me and my family by sacrificing his life so that we could live for all eternity. But his death, sacrifice, rising again, and saving all of humanity shouldn't be our focal point here. Our focus should be on the people who saw him do this and spread the word of the huge event to others. They're the real heroes. If it weren't for their eyes seeing and their mouths sharing what had happened, Jesus would have never died, never have risen again, and we'd never have been saved. Those are just the facts. The Republican Party loves, praises, and worships Jesus, but loves, praises, and worships his witnesses more! Amen."

After experiencing serious blowback due to his comments, Trey Gowdy (and the rest of the Republican Party) is now hoping, in the grand scheme of things, witnesses of his MSNBC appearance will prove to be of greater importance than his interview.

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 ...
