Beer of the Week: Double D Blonde
Once we get past the name of Double D Blonde, the wheaty, quick-drinking blonde ale out of Oregon's Hop Valley Brewing Company, you can appreciate it as a hoppy little number that won't offend you, won't overwhelm you. It's lager-golden and keg-ready at 20 IBU and 4.9 percent abv. It has a sharp not...
Giants 36, Panthers 7: The Game In Three GIFs
This was a slow and deceptive win for the Giants, who run their record to 2-1. The defense played solid in the first half and allowed the Giants' offensive live to methodically dominate time of possession against the high-powered offense of Carolina. Even without starters Hakeem Nicks and Ahmad Brad...
Atlanta 27, Denver 21: The Game In Two GIFs
The officiating in this game was an absolute disaster. Just brutal. It was as if Drew's column earlier today sprouted legs and was playing out on our televisions. There was a point where it really looked like things were going to boil over and shit was going to get out of hand. Shit did not get enti...
Steelers 27, Jets 10: In Two GIFS
The Steelers slowly bludgeoned the Jets. It was over well before, but Isaac Redman trucked what was either a terrible or exhausted defense in the fourth quarter and this one was never really in doubt. Mark Sanchez followed up his fine season opener in his usual characteristically inconsistent manne...
Chargers 38, Titans 10: The Game In A Solitary GIF
Yeah. Not a whole lot went right for the Titans. Uh, no fumbles! That's pretty cool, right? Whatever. Chris Johnson had eight carries for 17 yards and everything is pretty sad on the Tennessee side so let's just not talk about the actual game. Here's something else to talk about: The replacement re...
Seahawks 27, Cowboys 7: The Game In Four GIFs
Yowza, the Cowboys got owned in Seattle. Russell Wilson outplayed Tony Romo, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 122 yards...oh, let's just let GIFs tell the story....
St. Louis 31, Washington 28: The Game In A GIF
Jeff Fisher gets the first win of the Jeff Fisher era in St. Louis after watching his team come back from a 14-3 defecit after the first quarter. Sam Bradford threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns and captained the St. Louis comeback. At Least Robert Griffin III Is Exciting: Griffin III also ran...
Houston 27, Jacksonville 7: The Game In One GIF
The Jaguars did not have a good game. 117 total yards on offense is, like, the definition of not having a good game. Here's an optimistic post game quote from a Jacksonville player:...
Arizona 20, New England 18: The Game In One GIF
The only thing wrong with this game was the lack of John Skelton, who was out while he regrows his ankle from scratch. Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski made four field goals but missed a game winner from 42 yards out in the final seconds of the game. ...
Bengals 34, Browns 27: The Game In Two GIFs
Some primo running in this one—and actually some primo passing too, and generally good football playing all around. It's like Sean always says (this morning), "it's these god-awful looking games that become the most compelling." This one wasn't the most compelling, but if you like long runs to the e...
Eagles 24, Ravens 23: The Game In Three Gifs
A dogfight between cities on I-95 that just plain hate each other. It showed:...
Miami 35, Oakland 13: The Game In Two GIFs
Reggie Bush rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Reggie Bush rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns. In addition to what you see below, Bush had a 65-yard touchdown-scoring run. After throwing three interceptions, Ryan Tannehill had no turnovers today. Progress!...
Colts 23, Vikings 20: The Game In One GIF
Hey, Andrew Luck was pretty accurate, and drove the Colts down far enough down the field for an Adam Vinatieri field goal with eight seconds left in a very well-choreographed drive. And Christian Ponder was accurate too: 27 for 35 for 245 yards and two touchdowns....
Giants 41, Bucs 34: The Game In Two GIFs
This wound up being a wild one—32 points scored in the fourth quarter alone, 25 of those by the Giants, who trailed 24-13 at the half. This was a fantasy football wet dream, too. Eli threw for over 500 yards and three touchdowns (three interceptions, though); 199 of those yards went to Nicks....
Bills 35, Chiefs 17: The Game In One GIF
Did you guys see this from Tuesday? Via Reddit:...
Ohio Is For Non-Football Lovers: Your NFL Early Games Viewing Guide
On paper this is kind of a rough first act for week two, but who cares? It's still football and usually it's these god-awful looking games that become the most compelling. So trust me when I tell you, this Browns-Bengals game is going to be one for the ages. ...
Beer Of The Week: Hoptimus Prime
The further we get from the '80s, the less defensible the hero-toys look. G.I. Joes might've delivered creepily timed PSAs - oh, don't mind Doc hanging around outside your bathroom window, kiddos - but in setting up a reflexively force-oriented response to terroristic threats probably helped set the...
Coco Crisp Gets Canseco'd In The Outfield, Dies And His Reanimated Corpse <i>Bernie</i> Leans In Newest Weirdo Video
The Oakland A's are in the middle of the pennant race and begin a fairly important series this weekend against the Baltimore Orioles. So, clearly, we are here to talk about the "Bernie Lean" video featuring various members of the Oakland Athletics, and ATM and IMD. (The Athletics were so proud of th...
Vikings Rookie Placekicker Forces Tie, Breaks Tie, Receives Tie
Week one of the NFL season was full of strong debuts. But the best rookie quote came, to no one's surprise, from the Vikings kicking unit. Blair Walsh nailed the first four field goal attempts of his career on Sunday, all of them coming after the third quarter. His third was a 55-yarder as time exp...
Sanchize Vs. Teambow: Your NFL Early Games Viewing Guide
It's finally here. Sunday football. Wednesday was cool and all, but this is the day that really counts. For the remainder of the day you will watch football and only football and it will be awesome. Until your team, obviously playing a 1 P.M. game, loses and ruins the entire day for you. But you've...
