Not only a DAD BEER but a Midwestern DAD BEER. Expect my old man drank Stroh's - probably because it was "fire brewed" or 13 cents cheaper per six pack.

The truth hurts, my man.

I made the implication because it's an easy line to draw. I hope Encarnacion is clean and he breaks all the records.

Sammy Sosa hit 20 homeruns in June of 1998. We all know how that story ended.

I am old. I have to shoot with the wrong stick because my left shoulder is trashed, my knees, hips, and ankles hurt too much to skate for long and I think my sons take pity me.

My son hit the crossbar twice in his Pee Wee championship game this year. They lost 4-3. He has not mentioned it once. I have not shut up about it though. Go figure.

I agree and it is why the Blackhawks barely squeak by these "gritty" teams. They have success because they are so deep and eventually wear the bigger teams down over the course of the series. I'd like to see them face-off against other high flyers like the Avalanche. But they always end up having to grind it out…

I am a little. Wasn't my finest hour. We move on though.

In the right field bleachers at a Cubs game and some loud mouth with long hair toward the front wouldn't sit down. I pre-gamed a little too aggressively and decide to toss a piece of hot dog at him. He is easily 10 rows away but not only does it bounce right off his head, he immediately looks right at me and damn…

You hit the nail on the head. Most people with a lot of money buys things they don't sell.

You have to admit it. You got your ass handed to you there. No worries. Just move on and write something about higher education being a Ponzi scheme.

In 5th grade tackle football I caught the championship game-winning touchdown pass on a play the coach literally drew up in the dirt. This happened in 1978 suburban Chicago. Fast forward to Six Flags in St. Louis the following summer. I am standing in line with my best friend wearing our football jerseys. The kids…

Templeton is excellent but I'm from Iowa and may be biased. Bulleit is my second favorite - I try and keep a bottle of both on hand for variety.

Baylor suffers from Multiple Myeloma- a form of blood cancer. One of the symptoms is bone pain and can worsen with activity.

What's up with that? I've noticed my friends daughters have a habit of posting duck face/gang sign pics on Facebook all the time. I'm curious, but not enough that I would actually speak to a high school kid.

Yeah, screw anyone that has expendable income and treats their kids to anything cool.

I'll bite. Because on occasion the dunk has knocked the crossbar out of plumb and it takes time to square it back up. The Deadspin "writer" knew this but purposely omitted it from his rant.

There's a black joke in there somewhere but I'm not touching it.
