What I learned in Week 10 of the NFL season

In Week 10 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., given his play, it seems rather obvious Mason Rudolph is still recovering from the Myles Garrett-helmet incident from two years back.

- ...there are so many back-up quarterbacks playing, Roger Goodell is thinking of changing the league's name to the eXFL.

- ..., due to how well the Patriots have been playing of late, rumor has it Bill Belichick is cheating again. First it was SpyGate. Then it was DeflateGate. Now, given his recent get-up, odds are this controversy will be called FashionGate.

- ...DeSean Jackson may still be fast AF, but at the ripe old age of 34, has unfortunately come down with a case of LBS (Loose Balls Syndrome).

- ..., if team nicknames were perfectly apt, the squad from the Mile High City would undoubtedly be called the Denver Bipolars.

- ..., to everyone's dismay, Russell Wilson can't throw as effectively with just nine fingers.

- ...the Detroit Lions are now tied for the league lead for the longest non-losing, non-winning streak of the season. Roar.

- ...if Aaron Rodgers committed assault and battery, his apology would be, "To anyone whose face got in the way of my fist, I apologize and take full responsibility. To that point, I will be pleading Not Guilty."

- ..., if the Washington Football Team changed its nickname to The Brady Beaters, not only would it be more accurate, it'd be far less offensive than their previous nickname.

- ...Tony Corrente is still hard at work on the "Step Back Butt Out Hand Crotch Shot," as he will forever contend that what he did to Cassius Marsh was just part of the process in starting the latest dance trend.

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 ...
