What I learned in Week 3 of the NFL season

In Week 3 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., after being listed as a robot on the census for 41 years, Tom Brady is now officially labeled as a human.

- ...victory is spelled f-r-e-e b-e-e-r.

- ...Jon Gruden is regretting he turned down a role in the next Child's Play film.

- ..., outside of the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals, Dennis Green's "They are who we thought they were!" quote doesn't apply to anybody.

- ...Andrew Luck is anti-Catholic, for he's unwilling to have anything to do with a Hail Mary.

- ..., with Jimmy Garoppolo going down with a season-ending knee injury, the San Francisco 49ers are reportedly looking to replace him with George Stephanopoulos, George Papadopoulos, or Mr. Snuffleupagus.

- ...the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is playing at such a high level, (Madden) gamers may soon refer to such off-the-wall statistics as Mahomes numbers.

- ...Clay Matthews III will soon write a book, entitled, How To Get Flagged By Making A Textbook Tackle. Chances are he'll get flagged upon its release.

- ...Ben Roethlisberger likes creeping out porn stars more than porn stars like creeping out the 40-year-old virgin.

- ...Jason Witten is the most insightful color commentator this side of Mr. Bean.

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.

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.

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.
