What I learned in Week 10 of the NFL season

In Week 10 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...the New York Jets are the crazy uncle Tommy of the NFL, for they look best when they're not present.

- ..., when Bill Belichick is handed a shit sandwich, he turns it into two dozen roses.

- ...Lamar Jackson can throw the football about as far as Danny DeVito can throw Arnold Schwarzenegger.

- ...Nick Chubb is a smart man's Todd Gurley.

- ..., even though Drew Brees has cracked ribs, a collapsed lung, a torn heart, and a pair of missing hands, Sean Payton is still thinking about starting him over Jameis Winston.

- ..., when at confession last week, Bills and Cardinals fans didn't realize until Sunday that the hail marys were to be taken literally.

- ...the fade pass is about as useless as a Democrat voting in Wyoming.

- ..., at Thanksgiving dinner, deaf football fans will say, "We're truly grateful for not having to listen to Matt Millen's announcing on Sundays. Amen."

- ...Russell Wilson is celebrating Christmas early this year, as for the past couple weeks, he's been handing unsuspecting recipients free balls inside the red zone.

- ..., the NFC East is so bad, the nickname of the "Redskins" would be the least offensive thing about it this year.

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 ...
