What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season...

In Week 6 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., if a little person were assaulted by Andre the Giant in front of a daydreaming NFL referee, he wouldn't believe it happened, even after The Undertaker showed him footage of the incident from his smartphone, which he calls Cell Death.

- ..., if you're ever in a rush for a turnover cake, or a turnover anything really, go to Jameis Winston, as he'll likely have six ready for you.

- ...New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold proved the best way to get over mononucleosis is beating a bunch of Cowboys.

- ...the only thing more offensive than the Redskins nickname is having to watch them play the Miami Dolphins.

- ...the Tennessee Titans' offense scores on opposing defenses like the president scores with porn stars named after weather patterns while married to his third wife. Oh, wait...

- ...if GEICO ever brings back their caveman commercials, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will be set for his post-football career.

- ...Baker Mayfield and his receivers seem to be on such different wavelengths, you'd swear they were married.

- ...the national holiday known as Flag Day actually gets celebrated every Thursday, Sunday, and Monday between September and February.

- ..., whenever watching the Cincinnati Bengals, instead of featuring announcers, networks should just play Sarah McLachlan songs on repeat.

- ...free kicks make about as much sense as being rewarded $500 for landing on Free Parking.

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 ...
