Thanks for writing! Yeah, 90 Minute probably used to get too much credit, before there was and DIPA competition, but my position is that the backlash from the new-wave hopheads has been too harsh and it's now unjustly dismissed as just high-proof candy beer. Agreed on Smutty Brown Dog (harder to find than Brooklyn,

Dog came into the brewery where I work and I filled a growler for him. Because it's Indiana and it was the weekend of the 500, I didn't bat an eye at seeing a blond guy with a mullet. My coworker tells me who it was after I'd completed the transaction.

It gets weirder: my coworker filled a growler for Frank Darabont

I don't think it is subtle at all. No mere reporter, King apparently views himself as some sort of guru-spokesperson for the NFL who merits deference from Cam Newton. The constant name-dropping and jock theocracy that permeates King's reportorial oeuvre reminds me of the nerdy sports centric kid who never got chosen

The other guy in this convo got blocked first for pointing out the center part, but I was surprised he got me so quickly

I've never been blocked, so I'm gonna tell the story of the time I blocked Darren Rovell on Twitter. It was maybe two years ago, and I was fake-RTing him saying dumb shit (which, yes, is obnoxious, but also funny sometimes!). I'd read about his (deeply wienery) habit of following people just long enough to send them

I'm pretty sure Ryan Mallett blocked me for this:

I was blocked for the below exchange with Peter King of course. The Indians were on the brink of elimination in the "playoff" game against the Rays and King decides to make some corny jokes; which we will call the tipping point. What's odd is I remember following him for months with no other exchanges until I was

Simmons blocked me because he tweeted about the Bruins and I called him out for being a fair-weather fan.....which he is. I despise that insufferable bastard

UFC President Dana White blocks basically every single person who even remotely criticizes him (including me and the website I write for). He also blocks people who follow his mother.

Last year David Aardsma (pitching for the Mets at the time) tweeted that his bed was stolen from his new apartment in New York (weird, right?). It happened after he blew a save, so I said if he blows one again I'm coming back for the dresser. He blew it that night, and blocked me.

The Jersey Shore will soon meet a newcomer named Rory B. Bellows:

You're not wrong.

It's times like these I'm reminded of one of my dad's favorite expressions, "To each his own. Of course it's worth noting that in my dad's regional dialect, "To each" means "dropkick to the stupid face of" and "his own" means "Peter King, that great American shit-sack."

What?! Reading your own team's is the best. That's the part I am the most excited for each year!

Bud Adams is Yuengling?

It always made me uncomfortable when PK said "son" and "boy" in his articles, like "hold onto the rock, son." Beyond the racist undertones, which I know are totally flying over his head, PK's also one of the least macho dudes in the world, so hearing him spout that "I'm one of the guys" shit is kinda sad and

The one silver lining is that Wilson needn't look any further than the league commissioner to see what can be accomplished without a functional spine.

Thanks for the insight into this piece. King blocked me on Twitter so being able to read this first with your commentary made it 1,000 times more amusing...at least I think it does.

I wish that email had a face, so that I could punch it.
