What I learned in Week 13 of the NFL season

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

- ..., in Chicago, Akiem Hicks is now known as the mini-fridge. William Perry strongly agrees. 

- ...even eagles and pilots don't recognize Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers without his goatee.

- ...when proposing to Gisele, Tom Brady probably took a knee on one of her feet. 

- ...Jeff Driskel is who Cincinnati Bengals' fans have long been wishing for - meaning he's the guy who will help finally end the Marvin Lewis tenure. There's a reason his initials of JD sound so similar to JC...

- ...it now appears that, after his playing days are done, Seattle Seahawks place-kicker Sebastian Janikowski will either start singing opera or become a contestant on the show The Biggest Loser.

- ... , at the next Olympics, New York Giants tailback Saquon Barkley will compete in the following events: High jump, long jump, triple jump, 40-meter dash, hurdles, and a new one called "making something out of nothing behind a porous New York Giants offensive line." He's bound to place in at least one of these - yes, the hurdles...

- ...Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield apparently suffers from a condition known as BJ, which is Jersey Blindness for dyslexics.

- ...former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will now join ex-Baltimore Ravens tailback Ray Rice in the upcoming Mel Gibson-directed film, What Women Don't Want.

- ...the San Francisco 49ers' defense whines, cries, and complains so much, they often get mistaken for an NBA team.

- ...Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder's wish of his team's playoff hopes resting on the shoulders of a man who has been nicknamed butt-fumble Sanchez has finally come true. Congratulations.

    Yes! The constant whining, crying, and complaining that make up at least 98% of every NBA game are the reasons it's almost impossible for me to watch an entire game start to finish. I just can't seem to muster the kind of sympathy they're looking for. Awww, you poor thing, you're getting paid millions of dollars to bounce a ball, and another player had the nerve to sneeze in your general direction??? I know the solution, let's cry about it... Just don't look for me to pass the Kleenex. I just had a thought. The NHL has a penalty box. Would the NBA equivalent be the Time Out Chair? Lol and another great post! :)

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 ...
