What I learned in Week 16 of the NFL season

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

- ...the Cowboys' beat-down of the Washington Football Team (WFT) was so bad, WFT has been forced to drop the "F" from its name.

- ..., if things continue at their current pace, the New Orleans Saints will start left guard Calvin Throckmorton behind center next week.

- ...the Carolina Panthers have successfully disproven one-third of Flonase, for the combination of Cam Newton and Sam Darnold has shown that 2 really isn't greater than 1.

- ...the Los Angeles Chargers are less predictable than a David Lynch film set in Nebraska during tornado season.

- ..., if Baker Mayfield had one more pick against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, he would have had a handful of snot.

- ..., due to their game on Sunday, police officers will now tell drivers to utter the phrase "Sucky Seahawks collapse in snowy Seattle on Sunday" five times fast when giving sobriety tests.

- ...the only people who cared about the Detroit/Atlanta and Jacksonville/NY Jets games besides their fans were... Just kidding; they don't have any fans.

- ..., due to his propensity to start strong and end poorly, Kliff Kingsbury shall now be nicknamed the Hungover Hare.

- ...the Baltimore Ravens' defense is so bad, team fanboy Ray Lewis murdered them on social media.

- ...Ben Roethlisberger runs like a gazelle...if that gazelle had one leg, were intoxicated, and went by the name Stumbles.

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 ...
