What I learned in Week 10 of the NFL season...

In Week 10 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor apparently plays all eleven positions on defense as well.

- ...the Chicago Bears' magic winning formula is for Mitch Trubisky to attempt no more than 9 passes.

- ..., if he had coached Boston College during Doug Flutie's Hail Mary play, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson would have called for a quarterback sneak.

- ..., since the New Orleans Saints have learned to run the football, armageddon is officially upon us.

- ..., even if the Jacksonville Jaguars were spotted 49 points to start a game, Blake Bortles would manage to make it close.

- ...the New York Giants would be better off if head coach Ben McAdoo were replaced by Mr. Magoo.

- ...nothing spells q-u-a-r-t-e-r-g-a-s-m like Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Josh McCown.

- ...A.J. Green can still play football when he's not auditioning for the WWE.

- ...blowouts are becoming almost as common as nonsensical Trump tweets.

- ...the Denver Broncos defense would be better off if Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor played all eleven positions.

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 ...
