What I learned in Week 7 of the NFL season

In Week 7 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., after the Denver quarterback's performance against the Cleveland Browns, Weird Al Yankovic will undoubtedly write the parody, "It's Over For Troubled Bridgewater."

- ..., if he continues to neglect his hair, Aaron Rodgers will one day star in the Outdoors Channel show, "The Mullet Makes the Man."

- ..., if Andy Reid attempted to sell the Kansas City Chiefs defense to The Dollar Store, The Dollar Store would adamantly respond, "We wouldn't even take that crap at half-off!"

- ..., if the Atlanta Falcons rookie tight end were to ever delve into politics, his slogan would likely be, "Kyle Pitts Is the Sh*ts."

- ...the Carolina Panthers offense without Christian McCaffrey is like a horror film void of stupid characters who somehow think it's a good idea to play Russian roulette with a fully-loaded firearm. It just doesn't work.

- ...it's now safe to say the New York Jets-Sam Darnold relationship was that of a double-sprayed skunk, for they both stunk.

- ...Davis Mills has finally put to rest the long-standing notion that long necks automatically equal big scores for a group of eleven men, wearing helmets and jerseys, running around on a large field with an oval-shaped ball made of pigskin against eleven other such men.

- ...Justin Fields has joined Urban Meyer in believing leaving Ohio State early was THE biggest mistake of his life.

- ...Jimmy Garoppolo has proven if you can't throw a ball during a Bay-area hurricane, you can't play in the NFL.

- ...the three signs of Byemageddon are: 1) 2/5 fewer mistakes by Scott Hanson on NFL RedZone, 2) starting Jan Brady at quarterback on your fantasy team, and 3) Stephen A. Smith going on ad nauseam about how pathetic it was for the Dallas Cowboys to not come out with a victory during their bye week.

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 ...
