What I learned in Week 4 of the NFL Season

In Week 4 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...it's likely being proposed that the league supply all quarterbacks with a lifetime supply of Huggies.

- ...Earl Thomas is a practicing member of the MFCC (Middle Finger Cardio Club).

- ..., after their performance against the New England Patriots on Sunday, the Miami Dolphins are thinking about changing their team nickname to the Beached Whales.

- ...overtimes are now more common than Stephen A. Smith yelling about auditioning as a mime in his sleep.

- ...the "Steel Curtain" is now made of already-torn paper.

- ...it ain't over until it's over, unless you're the Atlanta Falcons and are up by fewer than 7 points with under 10 seconds left to play. Then you've lost.

- ...NFL teams will soon invest in human cloning, with Khalil Mack being the primary focus. The secondary focus will be on Tim Tebow for waterboy.

- ..., for a limited time only, you can purchase a bottle of Fitz Magic in the Tampa area. The positive effects last up to 3 weeks. Side effects include: A beard so long and thick, 95% of male porn stars will be jealous.

- ...The Rams' next April Fool's Day prank on Jared Goff will likely be an announcement they're bringing Jeff Fisher back to coach him.

- ...Contributing to the Fumbling of a Quarterback is apparently illegal in the state of California.

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 ...
