What I learned in Week 13 of the NFL season...

In Week 13 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...due to Rob Gronkowski's play on Sunday, in the offseason the NFL may implement the Fu*kin' Ridiculous Late Hit, a 30-yard penalty.

- ...Bob McAdoo may soon be working alongside Scooby-Doo.

- ...the Jaguars may want to check with tea-baggers before again referring to themselves as Sacksonville.

- ...the Cleveland Browns were yet again passed over by the college football playoff committee.

- ...the Denver Broncos offense is now neck-and-neck with the Trump administration on the LES (Low Efficiency Scale).

- ...the struggling Kansas City Chiefs may ask the commissioner to implement a flag-throwing contest multiple times throughout every game.

- ...Russell Wilson runs around in the backfield more in a single game than 96% of Americans run in a year.

- ...Jacoby Brissett wears full-body condoms to bed, because for how little protection he gets from his o-line, he's bound to get sacked.

- ..., according to most NFL announcers, Brett Hundley and Aaron Rodgers are identical twins.

- ..., with Tyrod Taylor's injury, the second-coming of Nathan Peterman is upon us, which can only mean one thing - Armageddon is near!

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 ...
