Airport bars are the worst. I hate being a little buzzed and then getting on the plane. It doesn't end well. And it makes flying that much worse. Plus, spending $10 on a Sam Adams is not my idea of fun. I agree on Sports Bars. You'd think they'd work, right? Lots of TV's and sports. But the food is terrible…

McKown or Rivers? Rivers injured and facing StL makes me nervous

The professor is still on to teach Phil 266 next semester at UNC. It's entitled, "Ethics in Sport." You cannot make that up. http://registrar.unc.edu/files/2014/11/…

Grown men can drink what ever they want!

This reminds me of the attempts of the big guys to go craft (was is mad dog or something? There were commercials with Tommy Lee Jones if I recall). They were terrible. Now, I do think that the big breweries have done some OK stuff - Shock Top and Blue Moon are extremely drinkable. I call those two beers my "Gas…

Everytime I think of doctored photos, I think of the laughable Andy Roddick one: http://www.people.com/people/article…. And it makes me laugh. It took me a long time to realize, with an eating disorder thrown in, that it was impossible for me to have "washboard" abs. Healthy is attractive. It's amazing that…

Really? I'll have to try those. Do they ever leave Texas?

I'm for hire! The beer craze is a bit nuts though. There's great beer in Raleigh or whatever city you are in. But still we go ape shit and jump through hoops to get some rare flower. Personally, I grow weary of the chase for the chase sake and try to enjoy the local stuff when I travel. Of course, I say this…

No worries and I forgot about the Yeti post. Honestly, after so much craft beer the Yeti is common to me. Which is a terrible thing to say because it is a great beer and saying it makes me seem like and ass. I remember looking down on a Rasputin Imperial Russian Stout and wondered, "What have I become...I have…

If you are into sours, try Wicked Weed for theirs - a little pricey for what you get but good.

Not Oskar Blues. They are based out of Colorado and the Brevard brewery is just for east coast expansion. Without rules there is chaos! Here would be my list: Olde Hickory for stouts (get your hands on a Lindley Park and Event Horizon). For an IPA, I would go with Wicked Weed for their Freak DIPA or Foothills for…

Just a comment, that I know others have posted before. But, I'm not sure that people need to know to drink Shiner (it's readily available in most of the grocery stores next to Blue Moon). I was hoping that Deadspin would focus on some beers that people may not have heard of but can reasonably get with a little…

South Carolinian living in NC. I agree that Jester King not being able to brew enough for Texas (or to ship to NC damn it!). But, you State beer should be the best brewery. Not sure who I would put up as the NC State beer.

Jester King is worthy of that title, not Shiner - which was an amazingly cheap beer in college.

BLUE JAYS!!!! (this is just delusional thinking, humor me).

I was at UNC from 2002-2004 and my department was under it's review for accreditation (Public Administration/NASPAA). The review process was lax at best. The reason is that the people doing the review are professors from other institutions. And, UNC professors were on the review panels that would perform site…

It will be interesting to see what the NCAA does to UNC after this. It seems clear that UNC Basketball was involved. But, UNC's spin seems to be that it wasn't the coaches, but an "academic problem" that involved counselors. But, if a coach is paid millions of dollars (especially one like basketball with 12…

Greg Easterbrook is why I hated living in DC. Every party in DC is full of Greg Easterbrooks. It's awful. I had meetings at the Brookings Institution and wanted to stab myself in the eye. It's just a bunch of pompous assholes putting their names on underpaid research assistants and unpaid interns work. But, the…

That's a double secret agent truther right there! How about this. The truther truther was the creation of the KGB only that the real government put planted the myth within the KGB to create this version of making the government seem evil and corrupt?! I don't know what I typed - but it's so illogical it must be…

I have also worked in the government and COMPLETELY agree. I guess having a Congress that can't pass a single bill is really a cover-up to make us believe that they couldn't handle a true shadow conspiracy! Brilliant!
