Racism in the NFL I think the aggravating part of the whole Brian Flores saga is that everyone can see the problem except for the 32 people who could actually do something about it. We all know it's nothing new, but it seems so craven these days that the shock of

Hi everyone, I’ve come back this week to pursue a topic near & dear to my cold, black heart – [DFO] Hate Week! A Super Bowl tradition ‘round these parts since 2017, it grew out of a desire to counter the NFL narrative of Super Bowl week that everything is fine and

Hi everyone, It's your old pal Beerguy again. That's about the right reaction. After all, I did go out for cigarettes & didn't come back. And given that I watched my Packers go down to ignominious defeat, I'm used to the sound. I did note before I left that life was changing for

I guess Jake's sick. The first week is already going swimmingly: anti-racism training - "Wait - people still use that word?!" anti-sexism training - "Wait - people still use that word?!" language trigger training - how to avoid "micro-aggressions" Really, they should be concerned by my general aggression than the odd

NFL Noise: According to the NFL's Chief Medical Doctor, 68% of all players have had at least one dose of COVID vaccine. That outpaces the national rate of 67.1 percent and is well ahead of the national rate of 53 percent for men between 18-39. There are five teams on

I'm not going to lie - even though I was prepared, the concept of "teaching from home" had both advantages & disadvantages that I have yet to fully measure. First off, the prime advantage, because not having to select a wardrobe for work is always preferable that having to just put something

Our month long aimless trek in the proverbial desert with little or no BeerGuyRob to kick around is almost over. It was difficult, admittedly. You don't know what you got 'til it's gone. We've missed the ol' boy and are glad he got some life done and some much needed
