Goose Island BCBS: Trophy Beer That's Worth The Chase
A couple of weeks ago, one of my old day-drunk buddies brought another of our kind into the bar. That was notable, because we don't get a lot of new blood, not even the kind of new blood that is basically the same old blood wrapped up in a different bag of scum and bones....
The Washington Redskins Don't Understand How Cyber Monday Works
It's Cyber Monday, which means that deals can be found all over the web for people more interested in shopping at their desk than doing work. The Redskins have a Cyber Monday deal today, too, but they don't quite understand how the "cyber" part is supposed to work....

Georgia Gets 99-Yard Fumble Return TD After Georgia Tech Stuffed
Georgia took a 14-7 lead on Georgia Tech after this Yellow Jackets attempt to sneak across the goal line got stuffed and officials held their breath rather than blowing the whistle. But did Tech get the ball across the goal line? We've enhanced some video so you can see for yourself:...
David Moyes Doesn't Know Who His New Players Are
I'd cut David Moyes—who's just moved to a foreign country with a foreign language for a new job in a new league—some slack here, as "Stefano" isn't too far off from "Esteban," but then I think, What if Steve Kerr showed up to practice calling his point guard "Steven" Curry?...

Here's Yet Another Good Beer With A Stupid Name
I never get to name anything. My wife picked Cindy Lou Who for the cat (perfect name, perfect cat, no complaints), and some editor or another overruled my attempt to call this column Drinkspin instead of Drunkspin.

There Are Too Many Hall Of Famers On The Hall-Of-Fame Ballot
There are so damn many Hall of Famers on this year's Cooperstown ballot, you should probably start getting angry now over the ones who aren't going to make it in this time. (And after that, you can go back to being sad over the ones who are never going to make it in.)...

This Is The Best Store-Brand Beer
My wife is very thrifty and low-maintenance, so for the first two years of our relationship, I resisted pointing out that we could buy two yachts or pay off our student loans if she'd just please switch from Advil to a generic pain reliever. It was frustrating, but she doesn't ask for much, so I fig...

Longtime enforcer Tie Domi appeared on TSN radio yesterday afternoon, and wouldn't you know it, it was a good day to have opinions on the Leafs. But Domi didn't want to talk about the Leafs; he just really, really wanted to talk about Microsoft. ...
