This Is The Best New Pumpkin Beer
Booze and leisure bloggers have no need for calendars, but we do require many of the same ointments, detergents, and jerkies that bring the rest of you into Walgreen’s on a regular basis. That trip is also how I know that Halloween hasn’t passed yet: The salted-pomegranate candy corn has yet to give...

It's Fall, So Invest In A Good Pair Of Boots
Buying a good pair of boots is kinda like buying a car. You want to find something that looks good, gets good mileage, and will last. You might have to spend a little money to get the most bang for your buck. It took me two seasons of buying the exact same pair of Aldo (a middle-of-the-road shoe bra...
The Hateful Life And Spiteful Death Of The Man Who Was Vigo The Carpathian
You’ve seen a painting of Norbert Grupe. A heavy, creased brow and shoulder-length hair framing a frightening scowl, the massive work hung in the fictional Manhattan Museum of Art in Ghostbusters II. When the medieval sorcerer pictured within the painting begins to physically manifest, it is on the ...
The Blackhawks Are Unfair In 3-On-3 Overtime
The early returns on 3-on-3 overtime have been overwhelmingly positive—if it’s not necessarily more fair than treading ice until a shootout, it’s at the very least a ton more fun to watch. It’ll be just as fun to watch trends emerge: will certain strategies trump others on the wide-open rink? Are ce...
Skins Fan Enjoys Obstructed View
As the Skins took on the Buccaneers on Sunday, one fan at Washington’s stadium was doing her own thing. Specifically, she was sitting on the floor in the stands, with another fan’s crotch in her face as he watched the game....

Report: GM Stopped Bill O'Brien From Cutting Ryan Mallett Before Sunday's Game [UPDATE]
The Texans may have the saddest ongoing quarterback controversy in the league, with head coach Bill O’Brien yo-yoing between Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer, both of whom are bad. According to a report from the Houston Chronicle, O’Brien tried to put an end to the back-and-forth before last Sunday’s ga...
It Turns Out Sugar Is Bad For You
Yesterday, we lost red meat to cancer, and today, we’re mourning another casualty: sugar, which has been deemed toxic by a new study....
The Ravens Are (Rightfully) Pissed Off About The Officiating
Every team has calls go against it over the course of the game, but two in particular boned the Ravens last night, both in big spots, and both more or less inexplicable. Baltimore WR Steve Smith is not going to let the officials get away with this: “Two stars. That’s what I’m putting on my Yelp.”...
Shirtless Eagles Fan Gives Deeply Uncomfortable Pregame Speech
This Eagles fan, who is somehow a real person and not a character from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, gave a pregame speech for the ages before the team’s Week 6 game against the Giants. Things are about to get weird!...
Joe Flacco's Headset Stopped Working On The Ravens' Final Drive
After a few breaks went their way, the Ravens found themsleves eight points down with 76 yards to go and 1:53 left, with no timeouts. A tough task under the smoothest of circumstances—and even tougher when the Ravens’ sideline lost communication with the huddle....
Gene Upshaw's Wife Says She Gave Up Her Entire Family To Marry Him
When I was growing up in Oakland in the 1990s Gene Upshaw’s heyday had long since passed, but he was still beloved by Raider Nation and seemingly everybody involved in football. Ten, fifteen, twenty years after his Hall of Fame career he was still feted by Al Davis and the entire Raiders organizatio...
Torii Hunter, All-Time Near-Great Centerfielder, Retires
My defining memory of Torii Hunter’s baseball career comes from the 2002 All-Star Game, when he robbed Barry Bonds of a home run. Bonds was in the middle of four straight seasons of destroying space-time, but Hunter was pretty darn good too, finishing sixth in the AL MVP race and winning his second ...
Baylor Loses Quarterback Seth Russell For The Season
Baylor, 7-0 and the second-ranked college football team in the country, announced today that quarterback Seth Russell will miss the rest of the season. Russell injured his neck during Saturday’s win over Iowa State, and will soon have surgery that is expected to keep him out around six months....

Cop Attacks High School Student In Her Classroom
Video has come out of a cop—a school resource officer, or SRO, tasked with performing law enforcement duties in an educational environment—attacking a student today at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, S.C. The footage is graphic....
Gerard Deulofeu Is Kind Of A Nutcase But I Love Him All The Same
If the whole of Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Everton this weekend left me with any lasting impression, it was that I should give more respect to the Gunners’ budding title charge; they more or less coasted to another three points against formidable opposition, the sort of thing they’ve seemed capable of i...
