The Beer Idiot: MixxTails
My kid fell down the other day. She said she did, anyway. I didn't actually see it happen. Sure, I'm skeptical—the kid's a liar. Say, ask her what her favorite snack is.

Kevin Shattenkirk Blows A Pass, Knocks Over His Goalie, Gives Up Goal
Oof, this is a brutal three seconds for Kevin Shattenkirk. First, his attempt to breakout from behind the net by passing up the middle is foiled by Dale Weise, who picks the pass off. Then, in a rush to block Weise's shot, Shattenkirk knocks over his own goalie, turning what would've been a good goa...
Kliff Kingsbury Morphing Into Charlie Weis Is Quite Disturbing
The Big 12 has a commercial with some of the conference's coaches morphing into each other, and that's how we get Kliff Kingsbury turning into Charlie Weis.

Budweiser Black Crown Vs. Miller Fortune: A Prestige-Beer Showdown
Craft beer has become so embedded in our drinking culture that TGI Fridays sells Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas sponsors This American Life, and your dipshit coworker's last batch of homebrew was actually kinda good, in a way, if you're into chipotle märzens. ...
Canadiens Forward Dale Weise Took A Skate To The Face
Montreal Canadiens forward Dale Weise was sliced in the face by Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri's skate yesterday. Fortunately, the skate didn't hit anything vital, but the cut still isn't pretty....
Budweiser Sends Really Dumb Tweet In Branding Exercise Gone Wrong
Budweiser, looking to capitalize on the invaluable #branding opportunity presented to them yesterday by Peyton Manning, sent out the brain dead tweet above earlier this morning. It's been deleted, but we want it to live forever via this screen shot. This is why we need to kill all of the brands....

New ESPN Ombud Finds Breezy Forgetfulness Over Broussard Fracas
Robert Lipsyte's first column as ESPN's ombudsman dissected the squirmworthy Chris Broussard-LZ Granderson showdown when Jason Collins came out. It's just as ombudsy as you like it, 3,300 words of media-ethics spinach. Lipsyte swings his prose like a lead pipe when he sees a deserving target; his re...
Off To See A Snoozer. <em>Oz, The Great and Powerful</em>, Reviewed.
1. The notion of doing a prequel to The Wizard of Oz focused on Oz himself isn't an inherently terrible idea. The wizard, after all, is the one character in that story who's neither completely good nor bad; he's full of shit, sure, but he also means well for Oz and ultimately tries to grant everybod...
Charlie Weis Does Not Want Kansas's Student Newspaper Asking Him Questions
Charlie Weis got a little snippy last week after The University Daily Kansan, Kansas's student newspaper, published a cover illustration of a tiny Jayhawk clinging to a goalpost being carried by a burly Kansas State Wildcat. The cover art, which ran under the headline, "Road Kill Ahead," was a clear...
Beer Of The Week: Blue Buck, In Time For Canadian Thanksgiving
Monday marks a holiday that in Canada is known as Thanksgiving.
