What I learned in Week 9 of the NFL season

In Week 9 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...every time a Josh Allen gets on a Josh Allen, a Scott Hanson gets his offs.

- ...the pick-six will 86 Sam Darnold from Carolina and deep-six his career.

- ...the Arizona Cardinals' beat-down of the San Francisco 49ers answered the question we'd all long been asking: "How long has Colt McCoy been retired?"

- ..., if team nicknames were perfectly apt, the Peach State representative would be called the Atlanta Cardiacs.

- ...the end-zone fade pass is less useful than a bathtub sailboat, caffeine-free Jolt Cola, and a Kenny G mosh-pit.

- ..., if Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley played the game "Would You Ever?," his response would always be, "Go for it!"

- ...the Packers/Chiefs game was so ugly, a narcoleptic nymphomaniac wouldn't even sleep with it.

- ..., if you want younger people to get vaccinated, just tell them a side-effect of COVID is Aaron Rodgers' ugly mullet.

- ...someone needs to tell Karen Rodgers to get the discount double-vax (Shh, don't inform him it's free. Raggedy Aaron needs to feel "special.").

- ..., after defending Aaron Rodgers, State Farm will alter their company slogan to, "Like a super-spreader, State Farm is there."

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 ...
