What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season

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

- ...you will never hear Hank Williams, Jr. sing, "Are you ready for some football, here on Tuesday night?" It just doesn't sound right.

- ..., when 100 people were surveyed with the question, "What's the deadliest thing in America?," the top three answers were: 3) firearms, 2) COVID, and 1) A Derrick Henry stiff-arm.

- ...apparently nothing triggers Tom Brady more than forgetting how to count to 4.

- ..., after his performance on Sunday, Aaron Rodgers is scheduled to do a Discount Double-Pick commercial.

- ...the only way D'Andre Swift's name could be any more apt would be if he were named D'Andre Fastasf*ck.

- ...A-Aron Rod-grrs watches "Key & Peele."

- ...the only time Chuck Norris has checked under his bed was to see if Derrick Henry was under it.

- ..., when facing the black and gold, the Browns turn black and blue.

- ...the only three things which can defeat Bill Belichick are: Bill Belichick, Eli Manning, and COVID.

- ..., when NFC East teams receive coal on Christmas, it'll be the highlight of their seasons.

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 ...
