Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Cranberry Concoction

Sharkbait - December 13, 2024December 13, 2024

Sharkbait - December 6, 2024December 6, 2024

Welcome to another Friday, but this Friday is squarely in garbage time. I always make this comparison this time of the year: The calendar year is essentially a football game. (American) Thanksgiving is essentially the two minute warning of a blowout game. We've got the ball and all we need

First and foremost, I want to wish everyone a Happy Buttfumbleversary to those who celebrate. I don't know what is the best part about that whose sequence. Is it the fumble itself? Is it that it is the second touchdown in a matter of seconds after the Patriots had a 1

Hey, welcome back! If you liked uncompetitive games yesterday was your day! Of the 12 games played, 7 were decided by 18 or more points. Teams and players racking up points might be good for your fantasy teams but it didn't make for good watching though. Ah well, we soldier

Otherwise more riots, woo! (I’ll save it for April because the premiere was in April.) Instead we have news, which isn’t riots. -Jets fans actually bought Mike Williams a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese, and had it delivered to 1 Jets Drive. And it worked, considering he signed a one-year deal. (I’ll be

"The Jets do not play football. Football just sort of happens to them." -Jon Bois It's one of the great ironies that the team responsible for arguably the most influential game in NFL history has followed it up by being among the class of the NFL—wait, sorry, there was a smudge—among

First thing I should mention is that I hope our brethren on the Leftest of Coasts have buckled down the hatches and are as safe from harm as is possible. Perhaps you'll think twice this winter when I complain about my penis falling off (again! So many re-attachments!) in frigid
