How To Make Pasta With Leeks And Prosciutto, While There's Still Time
Oh shit, dinner is still A Thing. It exists. Disaster. This is you, creeping incrementally homeward in the transportation gridlock of your locale and mode of transit, flop-sweaty and wild-eyed like John Lithgow on the airplane, doing a frantic mental inventory of the nigh-barren refrigerator wa...

James Dolan Is A Shitty Boss, Part 4,593
New York Knicks owner and crap-ass wannabe blues musician James Dolan tried to set some kind of world record for the most people playing kazoo in one room. He enlisted New York Knicks Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, who would have probably rather been anywhere else, to help him lead the crowd...

21st Amendment's Bitter American Does Low-Alcohol Beer Proud
Welcome to the first Drunkspin Sub-Five-Percent Friday!

This Is The Best Fall Beer
You know how dickheads of a certain stripe like to accuse the rest of us decent and delicate folk of being "fake outraged" when we get offended by things like racist team names, sexist advertising, or casual child abuse?

What's The Matter With Jim Brown?
Originally published in the December 1986 edition of Sport magazine, as part of a special 40th anniversary issue devoted to "The 40 Who Changed Sports." This story is a good analytical companion to Pete Dexter's insane 1981 profile of Brown, reprinted here last week ....

Yuengling Sucks
Pennsylvania seems like a pretty OK state, and I say this as someone whose only firsthand experience comes from sharing bleacher space with Philadelphia sports fans. Sure, that was repulsive, and there have been some other notable social and cultural failures over the years—the MOVE bombing, the S...

Sierra Nevada Flipside Red IPA Is A Decent "September Beer" Forgery
I talk to a lot of beer geeks these days, which isn't as bad as it sounds. But, brothers and sisters, it's still not always good. A lot of these conversations quickly devolve into pissing contests over who has spent more time waiting in brewery parking lots in Vermont or who's got a bigger stash o...

James Dolan And His Dopey Band Went On TV And Things Got Awkward
James Dolan went on Good Day New York this morning to talk about his corny-ass blues band and play multiple(!) songs in studio.

Drink Sapporo With Your Sushi, Like A Reasonable Person
Even though I'm a fervent season-change denier, the lengthening of sleeves and shortening of afternoons is making it harder and harder to avoid the reality of the impending fall.

Keenan Allen: Richard Sherman Is "Not Really A Shutdown Corner"
Richard Sherman was the least-targeted corner in the NFL last season, and still managed to rack up the most interceptions. In Week 1 against the Packers, Aaron Rodgers didn't give him a single look. For Week 2, the Chargers say they weren't scared of Sherman for a second....

Officials Inexplicably Miss Percy Harvin Stepping Out Of Bounds On TD
Percy Harvin scored a pretty boss 51-yard TD run, but replays definitively showed that he stepped out around the 21-yard line. How on earth did officials miss this?...

Report: Vikings Won't Cut Adrian Peterson, Could Look To Trade Him
According to the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch, Vikings management will hold a conference call tonight to discuss what to do with Adrian Peterson in the short-term. It's a thorny question in the wake of the RB's indictment and booking on a felony count of child abuse, but the Vikings reportedly have ...
