I must admit, I did write that post halfway through my second Glen Silver's scotch and soda. The gentleman who sold me the bottle didn't say his name was Lloyd. But he didn't say it wasn't either. Just sayin'.

Funny you say that: I just got a 750 of Canadian Club, small batch aged in a Sherry cask and I was just opening it to give it a try when I looked at the screen to read this. I hope it's good...

To good health and being merry. A toast to good friends, good conversation, a very fine football team and future academics who will preserve the integrity of our sport.

Canadian Club, small batch, Sherry Cask: Strikingly harsh. The flavor is nice, but you have to get past the acid eating away at your tongue to enjoy it.
Definitely a mixer, not a sipper. I'm slightly disappointed, but at $26.99 I'm not spitting curses at it.

I've had the honor.. I'm going to say back in my mid-20's, when we used to have fund-raisers such as the Turtle Races and 1940's horse racing nights, they would plop 2 bottles on the table and all the beer you could drink for 10 bucks... One of those bottles was always Canadian Club or Seagrams. The other would be a vodka.

I agree, not a sipper. I prefer my scotch neat but when entertaining a less popular blend, a mixer is fine. It gets me where I wanna go so to speak. :) I shuffled out a big $13.99 for my bottle, along with a 6 of seasonal Angry Orchard. If you haven't tried Angry Orchard yet, and are a fan of Apple Cider or Cider beers, do yourself a favor and do so. You will not be disappointed. Refreshing and on point. I can throw a football an extra 10 yards after drinking an Angry Orchard. (I'm only saying this to keep our rant football related in some shape or form) :huh:

I believe I tried to stomp on Ndamakong Suh's ankle after a couple Angry Orchards...

I bet he cried. He cried. Didn't he?

He ran when he saw the intent on my face and me double barreling the cider bottles. And the three dozen or so people with pitchforks and torches behind me...
Wait. Maybe I was about to stomp on Frankenstein's monster's ankles... Everything WAS in black and white...

Nope. It was Suh.

18th is ridiculous BUT I would say we are ranking or own selves a bit high given our current questions at the position that stabilized our offense last year.

The oline stabilized the offense last year, did they leave or something?

Last time I checked, the oline doesn't carry the rock. & that dude who happened to carry the rock last year had just as much to do with our stability on offense and overall success as anyone on the oline.

The guy who left carried it well, when he wasn't dropping it I concede. They could better off with a rotation of backs.

This is how I envision the conversation in the editor's office at USA TODAY:

Editor: Jimmy, I need you to write a few articles for tomorrow's edition.

Jimmy: What do do you need there boss?

Editor: First I need you to take a few AP articles on that train crash up there in Philly and change a few words, you know, make it your own type thing. Then I need you to write a minimum of 7 articles on the new Royal baby for the LIFE section, maybe throw together some news on the Kardashians, I think there is a new issue of People in the men's toilet you can use for research.

Editor: After that, I need you to look into some inside info I received about some shenanigans going on up in New England with the Patriots and Drew Bledsoe. I heard something about needles and balls and secret trips to a hidden bathroom, sounds big Jimmy, sounds real big. Dig into it, those steroid stories are ratings gold Jimmy!

Editor: When you get all that done, why don't you throw together some NFL rankings too. Fans love those rankings. I heard that the Cowboys fired their RB that ran for alot of yards, and he got hired by the Pittsburgh Eagles. That is no way to treat a guy like Emmitt Smith, so be sure to penalize them in your rankings.

Jimmy: I'm on it boss!
