What I learned in Week 15 of the NFL season

In Week 15 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...95% of dogs immediately run into their backyards after hearing Tony Romo scream, thinking it was some kind of strange of animal.

- ..., even as a rotting corpse, Elvis Presley scores more than the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys.

- ..., due to Aaron Rodgers throwing an interception, we will have to endure 3 more months of winter.

- ...Buffalo's so short on running backs, they're toying with the idea of placing a lineman in the Wildcat formation. They will call this the Wild Hippo.

- ..., after seeing them perform on Saturday night, it's all but inevitable that the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns will star in an off-season porno, entitled, Playing with Chubbs.

- ..., if talking produced babies, Philip Rivers would have closer to 9 trillion kids than 9.

- ...Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn has balls the size of Uranus.

- ...the Kansas City Chiefs will soon pen the book, Defending a 2-Point Conversion for Dummies."

- ..., after watching Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum's 20-second, 2-yard touchdown run, even sloths on Prozac were heard saying, "Was that slow-motion instant replay?"

- ..., when their playing days are done, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff and I've-played-everywhere-quarterback Mark Sanchez will be sitting at a bar, reliving their memories from the NFL. Sanchez will at one point say, "Hey, at least you weren't known as Mr. Butt-Fumble!" Goff will then respond, "Oh, you think that's bad? I'm known as Mr. Butt-Pick!"

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 ...
