NFL News & Notes: A notion considered hilarious just two years ago, some sites are now projecting the Raiders to win the AFC West. No one wants to put odds on that though, as it might hamper the chances for a move. More talk on the Vegas front involving the

Commentist Beer Barrel: In Space!

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - May 14, 2016May 13, 2016

Good morning, evening or next Tuesday, fellow Commentists! Low Commander is here to man the Beer Barrel this week, as make it snow embarks on his yearly tradition of being a big quitter and thinking that he's better than you. Never fear, for there are a whole host of guests

Whoopsie-doodle. Looks like no one volunteered for tonight, so here's a quarter-assed fill-in right quick. I spent today driving wifey to work, various doctor's appointments, picking the wifey back up, filling new prescriptions, getting a much needed haircut, installing my parents' third printer since September (seriously, guys?!), picking up said scripts, and

In the world of sports, there are very few things better than a Game 7. By that point, the series has been balanced, both teams are clearly evenly-matched, and it's come down to whomever makes the fewest mistakes, who sticks to the fundamentals a little bit better, and sometimes, who

Commentist Beer Barrel: Here It Gose Again

Pray for me, Commentists. Tomorrow, I'll begin an entire month without alcohol, a wholly voluntary and possibly stupid exercise in self-denial that's become a yearly tradition for me. It can be a bit of a pain in the ass at times, but it's hard to argue with the results: I lose a ton

I can do this... I can do this... /deep breath... That was a pretty go-- FUCK THE BLACKHAWKS!!! Dammit. I'll take anybody but them. C'mon Blues. This emotion is just more proof that the only Canadians tuning into the playoffs are hate-watching the games. Not much on the NFL front 6 days (SIX. DAYS!) before the

This week's Beer Barrel is a sort of mystery. The facts are simple enough: At the store on Friday, I stumbled on a bottle of beer that had been marked down from its usual price of $10.50 to a mere $5.99. I immediately had to know why, because this was

Commentist Beer Barrel: Extreme Beer Aging

makeitsnowondem - March 19, 2016

Before I get started, I want to thank Son of Spam, Brett Favre's Colonoscopy, and Electric Mayhem for contributing to Beer Barrel in my absence. Credit for the feature's increased quality during that time is due entirely to them. Credit for the scheduling fuck-ups that caused us to have three

Dear Invisible Imaginary Internet Friends, Please don't take this post the wrong way. I love international football just like you do. I like Rebecca Lowe as a host and as an expert on all things footy. I also enjoy watching the English Premier League along with you and I was raptured

Commentist Beer Barrel: I’ve Had A Few Budweisers

makeitsnowondem - February 16, 2016

That's the season, then. Just about a week ago, with either relief or chagrin, we all watched one of the NFL's most accomplished quarterbacks ride off into the sunset with a world championship and the short and sweet declaration, "I'm going to Disneyworld!" Wait. Peyton. Wait. You pronounced "Disneyworld" wrong. Like, really, really wrong. Peyton.

Commentist Beer Barrel: Bottle Royale

makeitsnowondem - February 5, 2016

I've made my peace with the very strong possibility of another Broncos Super Bowl loss, or at least I'm going to keep insisting I have. I love my team, but as I see it, a Panthers championship would be pretty okay. Cam's more fun than any player has a right to
