What I learned in Week 17 of the NFL season

In Week 17 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...the Baltimore Ravens care about Lamar Jackson's health like Colonel Sanders cares about vegans.

- ...Aaron Donald is quicker to the quarterback than a 40-year-old virgin is when in bed with Jennifer Lopez.

- ..., due to all of the backups playing, Week 17 should instead go by the name Preseason to the Postseason or Late-Season Preseason on Steroids.

- ...New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles's job is less secure than a tooth fairy in Bean Station, Tennessee.

- ...the Miami Dolphins enjoy Buffalo weather like Harley riders enjoy nationwide Schwinn road trips.

- ..., if the Pittsburgh Steelers in crunch-time were our planet, the earth would officially be flat.

- ...in today's day and age, Confucius would say, "When Tom Brady fall, flag fly, Gisele cry, defense ask, 'Why the f*ck?'"

- ..., in Springfield, Massachusetts, Saquon likely means "Air Barkley" or "Dr. S."

- ...the Chicago Bears' defense is more smothering than a stalker ex-boyfriend named Ike Turner.

- ..., when the Bengals and Steelers get together, things are dirtier than a porno at a dump station.

    Who says Colonel Sanders doesn't care about vegans? He's probably as deeply concerned as I am about the lack of fried chicken in their lives... :)

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 ...
