What I learned in Week 16 of the NFL season

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

- …it’s Tuesday, which can mean only one thing – Alvin Kamara scored again.

- …a dog is a man’s best friend, unless the man is Drew Brees. In that case, his best friend is Alvin Kamara.

- …Ryan Fitzpatrick will reportedly be in the next Monty Python movie, where he’ll have his head ripped off and respond, “Tis but a scratch.”

- …the Lions’ defense is so bad, even Stevie Wonder is yelling, “Man, they can’t see sh*t!”

- …, if you got an unexpected job application in the mail this week, it was probably to play receiver for the Cleveland Browns.

- …Dwayne Haskins could very well be one of these recipients.

- …the Detroit Lions’ defense’s mantra should be: “Making 43-year-olds look like 23-year-olds since 1928.”

- …rumor has it Philip Rivers is whinier than his 9, yes, 9 kids combined.

- …, after falling to 6-9, we will have seen the full fashionista transformation of Bill Belichick in 2020. He started with a hoodie, which segued to a mask, and will transition to a paper bag.

- …, even in the snow, Aaron Rodgers is cool. Wait…

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 ...
