After one game, new Yankees manager Donald Trump takes credit for team's 99-game win streak

Sadly, two days ago, in the midst of a 98-game win streak, New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi was forced to resign due to health complications. Interim manager Donald Trump then led his team to a 10-9 victory over the winless Chicago White Sox yesterday, increasing the win streak to 99 games. After yet another record-breaking win for the team, Trump said the following in his post-game press conference:

"Can you believe it? 99 games. It's believable, fantastic, tremendous, all of those words, so believdoustastic! I don't like to brag, but let's give credit where credit is due - I'm 99-0. Why is no one talking about that? We're 99-0 in our last 99 games, I'm currently the coach, so like yeah, I'm undefeated in 99 games, even in those 50 games I missed earlier in the season for, uh, legal reasons, and those 48 others I fell asleep during. I'm the best, the greatest, and you can't spell 99 without 1! Google it!"

In other news, a recent newborn named after Joe Girardi currently has one viewer victory to his credit than Trump.

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 ...
