Drumpf Deranged on Climate-Change

A recent climate-change report has made big news across the globe. Among its findings were:

- We're on track for a 3 degree (C) increase by the year 2100.

- We only have 12 years left to take the actions necessary to limit the before-mentioned warming to 1.5 degrees (C).

- If we don't take appropriate/immediate action, temperatures and sea-levels are going to rise; more property is going to be destroyed; and more lives are going to be lost.

What did Donald Trump have to say about the report? "It's fine" and "I don't believe it." The latter statement I don't find at all surprising, as he's made his climate-change denial painfully obvious in the past. What I can't wrap my head around is the former statement the president made. "It's fine"? Really? Homes are going to be destroyed; people are going to die; and everything is fine? Okay then. On that note, here's a hypothetical conversation between Trump and a reporter.

Reporter: "What do you think about the millions of Jews who were killed during the Holocaust?"

Trump: "It's fine."

Reporter: "Say what? On 9/11, approximately 3,000 Americans were killed by terrorist bombers. Your thoughts?"

Trump: "It's fine."

Reporter: "That's... Okay, moving on... What do you have to say about all the mass shootings which have transpired in this country over the past year? The one in Vegas in particular? Doesn't it bother you between 30,000 and 35,000 people die every year due to firearms?"

Trump: "It's fine. It's totally fine."

Reporter: "Hmm... I'm noticing a trend. What about the fact it appears you're undermining the foundations of what made the United States great in the first place?"

Trump: "So fine, so so fine."

Reporter: "Hillary's emails..."

Trump: "Oh my God! This is yuge! Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!"

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 ...
