What I learned in Week 3 of the NFL season...

In Week 3 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...if Who Wants to Be the Unluckiest Millionaire? were a show, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen would undoubtedly be the host.

- ..., at some point this season, Jason Alexander will likely post a revised video clip of a famous scene from Seinfeld, where he goes from saying "Oh, yeah?!? Well, the Jerk Store called and they're running out of you!" to "Oh, yeah?!? Well, the '70s Porn Star called and they're running out of Gardner Minshew!"

- ...Ohio Bobcats head coach Frank Solich is apparently calling 4th-and-9 plays in the 4th quarter for the Cleveland Browns.

- ...the 3-0 Buffalo Bills are to undefeated teams what Chuck E. Cheese is to the entertainment industry.

- ..., next week, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's going to ask his opponent for six mulligans.

- ...Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is going to start wearing pre-game helmets.

- ..., even when attempting a field goal, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh asks to go for 2.

- ...the next major pinball game will inevitably be called Alvin Kamara.

- ..., if the Cincinnati Bengals were any worse, they'd be the Miami Dolphins.

- ...the psychic version of Albert Einstein once said, "The second-coming of me will be none other than a guy by the name of Booger McFarland on Monday Night Football."

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.

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 ...
