What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season

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

- ..., since he won his first NFL game there, the odds are Urban Meyer's girl on the side will change her name to Cayman London.

- ...officials now require Kyler Murray to give consent before a defender can tap him on the shoulder.

- ..., Cleveland is so beat up, they will temporarily change their name to the James Browns.

- ..., growing up in Wyoming, Josh Allen apparently only had access to the yard-game "Slip 'n' Sneak."

- ...you can forget smart-cars; the most efficient mode of transportation is Derrick Henry.

- ..., if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's a Patrick Mahomes interception.

- ..., after the New York Giants starting quarterback's turnover-filled outing on Sunday, Denny Green has risen from the dead to shout, "DANIEL JONES IS WHO WE THOUGHT HE WAS!"

- ..., due to his recent play, Sam Darnold has generated a brand new statistical phenomenon which shall be known as "regression toward the green (Jets)."

- ..., when his playing days are done, Aaron Rodgers is set to star in the film "Teen Bear," where he owns bears, and beginning with a mullet, he slowly becomes one.

- ..., with the numbers increasing daily, there's now a 97% chance Jon Gruden was part of the January 6th attacks on the Capitol.

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.

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 ...
