Breaking Worthless News

"This is MSNBC's Peter Alexander reporting some very disturbing news. There's apparently a hostage situation at a New York City Starbucks. The leader of this operation has been said to be male, tall, Caucasian with incredibly pink cheeks, and likely between the ages of 46 and 47. He... Wait, hold off on that. We've just been informed of some breaking news. Correspondent Hallie Jackson is now showing us footage of Donald Trump brushing his teeth. It's unknown what toothpaste he is using, but our money is on either Arm & Hammer or Sensodyne. Anyway, back to the hostage situation. There are apparently 5-10 people being held hostage at the New York City Starbucks and... Oh, we're just getting word that Donald Trump is in line at a Chick-fil-A. Look at him standing there. What is he thinking about ordering? Our correspondent Luke Russert just tweeted that Trump will likely either go with the Chick-n-Strips Kid's Meal or the Chick-fil-A Nuggets Kid's Meal, along with some Chocolate Milk. How interesting... Oh, shots were just fired at the New York City Starbucks. We're hearing reports that three shots have been fired. This is a scary situation for everyone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people in that Starbucks, their friends, and families. Well, we'll get to the details of that in a little bit. Our own Chris Jansing has told us Donald Trump will likely open his mouth at any moment and words may come out, so let's go to her..."

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

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 ...
