What I learned in Week 1 of the NFL season

In Week 1 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...Aaron Rodgers is still all about the "Daily Doubles" - this time in the form of interceptions.

- ...Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski needs to make just one adjustment for his team to become Super Bowl champions - have Scottish Hammer Jamie Gillan wear a kilt to practice until he learns how to catch snaps.

- ...Christopher Walken will soon be saying this about the Minnesota Vikings: "They've got a fever and the only description is COVID Cousins."

- ...Buffalo lost because the Bills Mafia didn't order enough hits on Ben Roethlisberger.

- ...even before his LASIK eye surgery, Jameis Winston could see Za'Darius Smith's hit on him wasn't a roughing the passer penalty.

- ...Daniel Jones's New Year's resolution of "handling balls better" has yet to come to fruition.

- ...Ryan Tannehill has joined the "Me Too" movement, after getting sacked by Chandler Jones five times.

- ..., given what happened to some fans at FedEd Field on Sunday and what typically occurs in Congress, it'd be a crime for the team's nickname to be anything other than the Washington Sewage Shit.

- ...Aaron Rodgers looks about as interested in playing football as Jim Cantore looks when reporting the weather from San Diego.

- ..., just one game into his NFL career, college football head-coaching legend Urban Meyer has showcased to the world he needs to go back to school, bigly.

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 ...
