What I learned in Week 16 of the NFL season

In Week 16 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...Santa Claus shall now be called Jameis Winston.

- ...the 49ers' defense is so banged up, they're now referred to as just "fen."

- ..., until now, no Super Bowl favorite was ever as impressive as the 6-9 Browns.

- ..., with the way they've been playing, Dallas will now be either the "Cows" or the "Boys," but definitely not the Cowboys.

- ..., if they were to run for office and last weekend was any indication, the Cincinnati Bengals' slogan would be, "Make Losing Exciting Again" (MLEA).

- ...the Detroit Lions have less bite than a comatose hamster named Sir Sucks-a-Lot.

- ..., when Devlin Hodges and Mason Rudolph can't save you, that's when you become an atheist - that or just a disgruntled Steelers fan.

- ...Kirk Cousins without Dalvin Cook is like Marilyn without Manson.

- ..., due to how bad the Carolina Panthers have been, Cam Newton is contemplating having his injured foot removed so he never has to play for them again.

- ...you can't spell "VP Lamar Jackson" without "MVP."

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 ...
