What I learned in Week 14 of the NFL season

In Week 14 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., following his handshake with former assistant Mike Vrabel, the phrase "resting bitch face" will now be known as "resting Urban face."

- ...Kyler Murray is in love, for from the first to the last play of the game on Monday night, he was falling for Aaron Donald.

- ..., according to Cris Collinsworth, Aaron Rodgers is the most honest person of the year. With that kind of rationale, Cris Collinsworth has been named the sexiest person of the year.

- ...Cam Newton is like "The Sixth Sense" of quarterbacks. He's good the first time, but quickly loses his appeal the second go-round, and this time, Haley Joel Osment sees old people.

- ...COVID is so bad, Aaron Rodgers is being called upon to be everyone's team doctor.

- ..., as OBJ did his touchdown dance celebration, it's been reported that 4 out of every 5 cops watching the game drew their weapons, as they thought an unarmed black man had just armed himself with something resembling a firearm - a football.

- ..., when facing Dalvin Cook, Pittsburgh's defense becomes the Phantom Curtain.

- ...the fat lady never sings so long as Kirk Cousins has balls in his hands.

- ..., when a defender nearly decapitates Matthew Stafford with a face-mask and then looks in the quarterback's direction for more than 1 Mississippi, he'll only get flagged for looking at the person he nearly decapitated, because you know, player safety.

- ...the Dallas Cowboys' near epic collapse against Washington almost resulted in WFT defeating WTF.

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 ...

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...
