It’s approaching quite quickly. My first Jets game of the season is around the corner. September 11, 2011, New York Jets against the Dallas Cowboys. I am so excited to get back into the football groove.What do I do for tailgating you ask? We bring A LOT of food and beer. That’s basically all you need. Oh and a few chairs so your not sitting on the ground.
But your a girl you might be saying to yourself. Ladies don’t drink beer. Well, lets get something straight. I’m not a lady, especially at football games. And, I drink a lot of beer.Our friends over at Busted Coverage has made a list of the best tailgating beers made. You know I’ll be packing my car with some of these.
Pabst – Nothing says I’m ready to get ripped up better than a can of PBR. It’s a classic beer for those in the know. The only problem with tailgating with Pabst is you’ll probably have to switch to some lesser beer inside the stadium. Not many places carry it.
Coors Light – Sure, it’s mostly water and pretty much tastes like it, but Coors is perfect if you’re really looking to pound some down. You’re not likely to wake up with a raging hangover because it’s so watery. And if you’re a complete idiot and can’t tell the difference between a cold beer and a warm one, there’s that stupid blue mountain thing on the can.
Milwaukee’s Best – The name is a total misnomer. Milwaukee’s Best isn’t good. It’s what we served at house parties in college because it was so cheap and that’s why it’s on the list. If you’re thrifty, this is the way to go. You can probably get a half barrel for around $50. After three or four, you won’t even notice how bad it tastes and when you get inside the stadium and order a Bud Light it will taste like top-shelf Cognac.
Guinness – It’s not for everyone, but if you favor something heartier then Guinness is the way to go. It’s thick and robust and goes great with grilled meat. It also goes great by itself. Guinness will fill you up and most stadiums carry it.
In my opinion, the Milwaukee’s Best and Coors Light is for the beer pong & flip cup. I’m not a fan of Pabst but it’s really cheap. Enjoy the upcoming football season everyone!
You all did it, and don’t tell me you didn’t. Whether it was when the newbies joined the fraternity, or picking on the freshman, you were all guilty of hazing. You got hazed, so when it was your turn to do it, you couldn’t wait ti get your hands on the fresh meat.
With this years lockout in the NFL, a lot of football news has been traveling the Internet lately. Coaches playing their starters well into the preseason games, free agency talk, and this lovely story, hazing.
Someone alert Roger Gooddell. We’ve got some hazin’ goin’ on at Titans training camp & Jack Del Rio’s head is about to blast into orbit. Yeah, Del Rio doesn’t coach this team, but he dislikes (hates) NFL rookie hazing. Same with Jason Garrett from the Cowboys. Someone’s going to get hurt or be scared for life. Um, that’s some serious bullshit. Look at Titans’ fullback Patrick Hill, yesterday, after practice. Doesn’t look like he minded the plastic wrap & ice bath.
The guy is an undrafted free agent. This might be the highlight of his NFL career. This photo gets passed around. He gets his 15 minutes of Internet fame and tells it at backyard BBQs for life.
Kudos to the Titans for keeping tradition alive and for Hill not pressing charges or trying to fight his teammates for the shaming. (via: bustedcoverage)
If your not loyal to a NFL team yet, you better make your choice pretty soon. The pre-season has about two more weeks left and the official start of the season starts September 11th. Based on your personality, Interpretation By Design has come up with this great chart to find your team.
The New Meadowlands Stadium, which has gone by its awkward plain-jane name since opening last fall, has finally found a major company to buy the naming rights of the stadium: MetLife Insurance, which you probably know from its Snoopy-flying blimps above golf tournaments and other sporting events. The New York Post is reporting that the deal will bring in $20 million per year for the next 20 years. So for those keeping score at home, the Mets play at Citi Field, the Nets play will soon play at Barclay Center, and now the Jets and Giants will play at MetLife Stadium.
According to the Post: “MetLife bought one of four smaller rights deals, called cornerstone partnerships, three years ago for $7 million a year. That deal was scheduled to run until 2014 — but will end upon the anticipated announcement of the insurance company’s upgrade to a full stadium naming rights deal. Sources said that MetLife and both teams have been trying to hash out a deal since last year but a volatile market has held up talks.’
An announcement won’t be made until next week (likely before the Jets-Giants pre-season game), but at least it’s being announced well in advance of the 2014 Super Bowl, which is probably the real prize for MetLife. (via: Brobible)
What does this mean? It means that possibly I can stop paying god dam PSL’s, personal seating license fees, for my Jet season tickets!
If you missed the Ndamukong Suh hit on Andy Dalton, you missed a pretty hard hit. The NFL came down with a fine yesterday of $20K. Suh wasn’t too pleased. He tweeted,
During Monday nights preseason football game between the New York Jets and Houston Texans, there was a crowd shot after the Texans scored a touchdown. It showed many fans jumping and cheering for their home team. But, wait. Why are those Jet fans cheering? Are they drunk? Do they know that the Jets didn’t score that touchdown? Did you wear Jet clothing because it was the only NFL teams shirts you could find?
I love football, and would probably do anything to keep my Jets season ticket package I have. People offer me a lot of different things to get tickets to some of the games. The season opener this year is the Jets against the Dallas Cowboys on September 11th, on Monday night football. This is going to be a great game. I’ve been offered a lot of money for my seats. They can all go scratch their asses.
This bring us to Craigslist. If your looking to sell your tickets, sell parking passes or to buy them, this is the place to go. Strange things happen on Craigslist. Check out what he was willing to GIVE up his tickets for.
Some people claim they will do anything for tickets, and one incredibly questionable Craigslist posting from today is about to put that conviction to the test.
A New York City man (well, we’re assuming it’s a man) is willing to part with his two preseason Giants tickets in exchange for the opportunity to “worship a hot girl’s feet.” According to the ad, all he wants to do is massage and “worship” (whatever that entails) your female feet for one hour. He’s even willing to do drinks beforehand, though we doubt getting hammered will do much to curb what is sure to be an unprecedented level of awkwardness.
Anyone desperate enough to indulge this man’s foot fetish must first send a photo. He promises to do the same. (via: sportsgrid)

This is a serious topic in the NFL and the news. But honestly, you know what you are getting yourself into when you play a sport like this. Your being tackled into the floor & being stepped on by 300 lb men. How do you not know you may have a chance of having brain damage when you retire? Even while you are still playing! Look at all the guys that have to sit a few games every season because of concussions they get.
According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, the players and their wives claim, “The NFL knew as early as the 1920′s of the harmful effects on a player’s brain of concussions; however, until June of 2010 they concealed these facts from coaches, trainers, players and the public.”
Among the 75 players – Mark Duper, a former wide receiver for the Dolphins, as well as Otis Anderson and Rodney Hampton, both former running backs for the Giants.
The suit claims the NFL commissioned a study in 1994, titled “NFL Committee on MIld Traumatic Brain Injury” and published a report in 2004, concluding there was “no evidence of worsening injury or chronic cumulative effects” from multiple concussions.
And, the suit alleges, it was not until June, 2010, that the NFL acknowledged concussions can lead to dementia, memory loss, CTE and related symptoms. All of the players are claim they sufffered injuries as a result of multiple concussions.
In addition to suing the NFL for fraud, negligence and failure to warn … Riddell — the manufacturer of NFL helmets — is also a defendant. (via: TMZ)
Eli Manning killed a man by firing a football directly into his chest cavity … and it was awesome.
Moments ago, Eli and his brother Peyton Manning finally debuted their acting skills in the DirecTV project “Football Cops.” During the clip, the Mannings hunt down gun-toting bad guys with only a couple of footballs … some mustaches … and their laser rocket arms to protect them.
Peyton and Eli’s dad, Archie Manning, also makes a guest appearance in the mini-movie … check it out. (via: TMZ)
