What I learned in Week 18 of the NFL season

In Week 18 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., even when by his lonesome self, Brandon Staley isn't the smartest person in the room.

- ..., giving up the #1 draft pick in the process, even when the Lions win, they find a way to lose.

- ..., in getting fired after closing the season 8-1 after a 1-7 start, Brian Flores has proven there is such a thing as CWB (Coaching While Black).

- ..., when given the option of "playing to win" or "playing not to lose," Brandon Staley thinks outside the box and plays to lose.

- ..., as Carson Wentz proved on Sunday in his team's playoff-denying loss, one often unmentioned side-effect of COVID is playing like horseshit against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

- ..., when Brandon Staley hits 21 in Blackjack, he tells the dealer to hit him.

- ...Antonio Brown is set to become the first contestant to participate in "Dancing With the Stars" with a pair of broken ankles, two arm-casts, and a neck brace.

- ..., due to his taste in literature, the Green Bay Packers quarterback shall now be known as Dr. Rand Rodgers.

- ...Jon Gruden will inevitably win Coach of the Year, for no other coach led his team to the playoffs after being forced to leave them midseason.

- ...what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless it's Brandon Staley's idiocy. That travels everywhere.

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 ...
