What I learned in Week 15 of the NFL season

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

- ...the old saying should be altered from "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" to "If you can't coach in the rain, cold, or heat, you're probably Freddie Kitchens!"

- ...the Cincinnati Bengals have become the Jerry Springer Show of the NFL, as no matter how bad you think you have it, watching them makes you feel a whole hell of a lot better about yourself and life.

- ...Oakland's final game at The Black Hole was, as Cher Horowitz would say, "Like so Raiders! Fer shure! OMG!"

- ..., if this whole coaching thing doesn't work out, Mike Vrabel will inevitably star in the new reality show, What the Hell Do You Want? Mike Vrabel's Adventures in Speed-Dating.

- ..., with his moves, it's only a matter of time before Lamar Jackson moonwalks into the end zone. The touchdown celebration will then, of course, be the "Thriller" dance.

- ..., if the Chargers turned the ball over for the whole season at the clip they set this past Sunday, they would have come close to equaling that of the Trump Administration.

- ..., at the ripe young age of 143, Eli Manning still throws interceptions with the best of them (Jameis Winston).

- ..., when Rex Ryan referred to Mitchell Trubisky as Mitchell Vick in his preview of the Bears/Packers game, attempting to highlight the Chicago quarterback's underheralded and underutilized speed, even pitbulls felt sorry for the former Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback.

- ...Matt Patricia is slated to star alongside Bill Belichick in a Brokeback Mountain sequel, where the former tells the latter, "I wish I hadn't quit you!"

- ...the San Francisco 49ers are the first team to lose all their regular season games at the last second since the Cleveland Browns, whom once lost all their regular season games even after time expired.

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...

Mentioned on Crooks and Liars and Hinterland Gazette!

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 ...
