The Hardy Boys Presents: The Missing Alcoholic Content

Reason #267 why San Diego is not in the running to host a Deadspin Pants Party: Their stadium beer doesn't get you drunk enough. A San Diego Union-Tribune EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION revealed that the $8.50 cup of beer — be it Budweiser, Miller, or Miller Lite ... Budweiser!, Miller! Millerliiii-ite ... Budweiser! Miller! Millerliiii-ite! — contains just 3.2 percent alcohol by weight. More »

Also, It's More Difficult To Sexually Harass A Tap

Bugs & Cranks finds the world's most important invention, through the Associated Press of all places, since the opposable thumbs. It's a beer tap right there at your table. More »

It's Still Not As Dangerous As A Typical Eagles Game


Please bear with me if you've seen this before; any time I see something this large and angry go into the stands that isn't Ron Artest, I must post it. Three things of note here: 1. Love the three guys sitting under the little overhang in the middle there, safe from harm in the stadium's finest luxury box. 2. Insult a squirrel, and PETA will sue you back to the Stone Age. Throw spears at bulls in a ring until they die? Nothin'. 3. As seen following the jump, at least five people in the crowd refuse to drop their beers, even though an enraged bull is inches away, about to gore them. Party on, Enrique. More photos: More »

NFL Stadiums Are Not Family Friendly? What?

Just in time for the final week of the NFL regular season, here's a heartwarming tale of a dad, his 13-year-old son and a trip to a Redskins game. Meet Dick Meyer of the Washington Post, who contends that the level of public aggression, drunkenness and lewdness in the stands these days is at an all-time high. In fact, after his son was flashed by high school cheerleaders and doused with several brands of beer at Redskins Stadium, he compares NFL fan behavior to the decline of ancient Rome.

When the Redskins scored their first touchdown, four young women — I'm guessing they were in high school — turned around and did a little stripper's dance that made my son blush as I cringed. Even putting aside their ages, it was too cold to bare flesh. Within 10 minutes of kickoff, I knew I had made a terrible mistake taking my son to the game.

Michigan Bids Adieu To Lloyd Carr

It's official: Several Michigan players went to visit Lloyd Carr in his cage on Sunday and it turns out that the only reason he had been standing up at all is that he had been nailed there. Yes, Carr is an ex-parrot. (And Brian Cook had it first, by the way, despite what "ESPN has learned.") Say what you will about Carr at Michigan — he has the sixth-highest winning percentage in Big Ten history, and his program had a repuation for being clean — but this job begins and ends with the Ohio State game. That, and that pretty much alone, is why Carr will be gardening next year at this time. These numbers pretty much say it all. More »

Play Sports, Drink Beer

If a serial killer broke into my apartment while I was sleeping in the nude, and I only had enough time to either throw on pair of jeans OR put on some running shoes, I would pick the running shoes every time. Yup. I feel much more vulnerable barefoot than when I'm actually naked. Shoes give me power. I can't fight or run from a man barefoot. No way. Shoes are my spinach. More »

The Braves Know What Their Fans Want

After all this super-secret-memo and banned-monologue business today, it's probably fitting to wrap matters up with something we can all come together on: BEER. More »

It's Raining (Very Fat) Men

It happens every time we attend a game at Shea Stadium; inevitably a druken fat guy will topple onto us from the row above, causing us to break certain small bones. We don't even bother to sue anymore; we're used to it. But Ellen Massey, a Manhattan lawyer, is not so magnanimous. She's had enough. More »

Behold, The Power Of Beer

You scoffed when Brewers' fans predicted big things for their team this season. But then they rolled out the Mighty 12-Person Beer Bong, and, well, who's laughing now, bitches? More »

Why The Terrorists Hate Us, Reason No. 131: The 12-Person Beer Bong

If the Milwaukee Brewers don't do one other thing in the entire future of their franchise (and there's a possibility they won't), it just doesn't matter. Their legacy is secure and we call them heroes; for they have already given us the wonder of racing sausages, and the greatness that is the 12-person beer bong. More »

Love Your Local Beer Vendor

We'd never heard of this before, but its existence makes us extremely happy: It's the Beer Vendor Association, consisting (apparently) of only Wrigley Field pourers. They even have their own trading cards. More »

Imagine How Mad She Would Have Been If It Were Hot Outside

We know this isn't necessarily a sports story, but it does take place in St. Louis, and it does involve beer, so we're just gonna run with it. More »

Snack Foods We Have Heard On High

Once in a generation, an idea comes along that is so perfect, so sublime, so incredibly simple yet bathed in the blinding light of genius, that all we can do is blink in wonderment. This, friends, is beer-flavored potato chips. Oh, and did we mention there's cheese? More »

If Only There Were A Logical Time To Drink It ...

You know, we were fully aware that the Oklahoma-Texas football rivalry — if you missed it in all the playoff business roaming around these parts, they play this weekend — was a pretty big deal, but we'd always felt it lacked the critical component of beer. More »

Continuing With The "Ohio State Athletes With Problems" Theme...

Mel Kiper Jr. might be more interested in his 40-time or his bench press repetitions, but I have a hunch that Deadspin readers may be more interested in this statistic about Ohio State tackle Alex Boone: He used to drink 30 to 40 beers a day. More »

The Refined Taste Of Budweiser

This isn't directly sports-related, but as sports viewers, it's something that affects us all. We're taking a brief between-game football break anyway. The beer industry, losing market share to wine and other alcoholic beverages, is shifting away from low-brow comedy and borderline-pornography, and towards ads that make beer seem more sophisticated and refined.
