This liberal approves of "Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace"

I don't tend to watch much cable news. Most of it is slanted one way or the other. When that's not the case, it's common for conspiracy theorists to receive just as much airtime as renowned scientists. One show I've come to watch and like, however, is MSNBC's Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace.

Nicolle Wallace, believe it or not, was once George W. Bush's White House Communications Director. She was also a senior advisor to the John McCain-Sarah Palin 2008 campaign team. So she hasn't been shy about her Republican leanings in the past. That all changed when Donald Trump began running for the presidency, however. Especially after Trump received the Republican Party's nomination, Wallace, like many others, felt as though the GOP had left her, so it was time for her to leave the GOP. Ever since that point, she's been one of the Republican Party's (Trump in particular) harshest critics. There have even been times where I, a self-described liberal Trump basher, have listened to her commentary on the show and said, "Dammmmn! That was nasty!" I'll even hear a Democrat on her show partially defend a Republican politician or the party and she'll quickly snap back with something like, "No, he a lying sucktard. Moving on..."

The only complaint I have with the show is the fact it seems Ms. Wallace likes to play apologist for her former boss, George W. Bush. On one hand, I can understand why she does this. On the other, however, while Donald Trump is the worst president in this country's history, George W. Bush isn't far behind. I'll let that slide, though. For whatever reason, there's nothing I like more than seeing a former Republican seeing the light, seeing the party for what it's become, and bashing them harder than Aaron Judge on a 100 mph fastball right down the middle of the plate. So, check it out. Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace, on MSNBC from 4 to 5 pm EST Mondays through Fridays.

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 ...
