9 p.m. Friday night, a poorly placed trash can had me attempting to push a trash bag full of cat litter over a large wooden knob at the bottom of the handrail leading from our carport to the side entrance of the house. The knob, which being knob-shaped wasn’t particularly sharp, still managed to penetrate […]
I often underrate the friendship I have with Sharona. We’d often do the show and that was a wrap. Now we alternate sending each other the latest “can you believe that bullshit” articles through DMs and I’ll text her beer pics during Predators games. On her latest Back Talk with Sharona, she talked about having […]
Last Wednesday night, I was invited to a bottle share at my friend Jason Dominy’s house. Jason is a beer wizard. He podcasts about the subject (here’s him talking Craft Beer 101), writes about it and lives it. He was “releasing” a batch of beer he made influenced by Funky Buddha’s Last Snow. During the […]
As I watch the superfluous catches of Philip Supernaw for the Titans, it’s time to talk MFL25. I became acquainted with the MFL10 cult a couple of years ago. I played one league and finished in second, earning me a free league the following year. I stepped up last year, joining my first MFL25. The […]
I was prepared for Hateful Eight. Before the movie I had a hearty meal along with a Vanderghinste Oud Bruin and a Petrus Aged Red. While I appreciate the option of getting a “shorty”, when ordering beer like that go for the full size. I pretended “Across 110th Street” was playing in the background as […]
The fans of Titans-cul-de-sac would like to offer a group hug to Chiefs Nation. We are fan bases with a lot in common. If success has been present, it has been fleeting. The Chiefs do have that one Super Bowl win, albeit one that happened more than 40 years ago. The Chiefs are the only […]
I’ll admit up front that I didn’t see a lot of Knoxville yesterday. We really did a “smash and grab” trip to town, coming in for the game and leaving almost immediately afterward. I’ll post the pictures so this may end up as more of a “photo essay”. Let me set the scene. The two […]
I cannot tell you how much I dislike Gary Pinkel. I’m trying to figure out what it is about the coach, who is the University of Missouri’s greatest football coach and probably will remain in that capacity for the next decade. I believe that the difference between “pretty good” and “great” can come down to […]
The most popular chant this weekend at college football stadia around the country was S-E-C. Tennessee fans used it late in a win over NCSU. Alabama fans used it early and often in a blowout over Michigan. Auburn fans used it early and perhaps not late in a loss to Clemson. Wait, are SEC schools […]
July just sucks. It’s hot, people pretend that they like golf, and the highlight is getting to watch your team practice in the sweltering summer heat. The month began with the three-year anniversary of Steve McNair’s death. I wrote about that on the Bleach. It would be tough for a player to hurt his legacy […]
