What I learned in Week 2 of the NFL season...

In week 2 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...DeShone Kizer's migraines are caused by turning the ball over four times.

- ...the best way to cure migraines is playing the Andrew Luck-less Indianapolis Colts.

- ..., after he officially retires (for good this time), Marshawn Lynch may have a future on Dancing with the Stars.

- ...Aaron Rodgers needs to find a way to R-E-L-A-X more in the pocket.

- ...Peyton Manning didn't trademark "OMAHA!" when behind center while playing for the Denver Broncos.

- ...Saturday Night Live may feel prompted to place a twist on an old segment, entitled, "You know what sucks more than that? Da Bears!"

- ...my 4-year-old niece covers and tackles better than anyone on the New Orleans Saints defense.

- ...the Jets may want to think about altering their team name to the New York Paper Airplanes.

- ..., for as banged up as the Patriots offense is, you may start hearing this line from announcers before too terribly long: "Brady completes a pass to Belichick for no gain."

- ...the New York Giants may soon send a greeting card to Tom Coughlin, where the front of it reads, "It wasn't you; it was us."

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 ...
