Man, I wished they still made Falstaff.

In my family, the beer of choice was Naragansett. Don’t even know if they sold that anywhere outside of southeastern New England. Alas, I don’t believe it exists any more either.

My boss just told me when he was a kid, his grandpa always drank from a 10oz glass, so he would give him the extra 2oz of Schlitz to empty the can.

My dad was a Falstaff man, and I can remember when I was about 2-3 reaching up and trying to grab his bottle off his chairside table. He’d always laugh and give me a swig.

Some games it’s worth unplugging the center speaker of your surround system to completely mute the announcers and just get the ambient crowd noise etc.

only bad thing is that bearded man in the blue suit in the ads. Fuck that guy, whoever he may be.

Next year, hopefully, they move on to a different obnoxious guy.

One thing the Thursday night game has over the Monday night game: Brad Nessler. He is so much better than Mike Tirico it’s like comparing chocolate cake to AIDS.

Never eeeever liked Tirico, he’s such a blatant lapdog, continuously spouting on about all the STORIES the network wants him to push. He’s the Michael Cole of sports announcing.

Case in point.

As a snack, or as a biological weapon against the gays?

Tough choice. The gays love their tiny waistlines.

Chocolate cake does lead to fattiness and the inability to wear skinny jeans. So perhaps they are both weapons against the gays?

Agreed. Brad Nessler is a treasure in the announcing booth.

Ah, I’m bottling my first home brew tomorrow.

Nice. I’ll probably start back up one the Younger is not so intent on helping with EVERYTHING. 5 gallons wort + 3.5 year-old = bad

Fuck you, pal! I can’t afford the NFL Network and having MNF gives me something to look forward to on dreary ass Monday.

If you got one of my uncles a beer when you were a kid and DIDN’T drink the last ounce or so of beer in the can or bottle when offered, you were pretty much berated as some sort of mama’s boy.

I used to have to use a quarter or a key to open cans as a kid/young teen. I pulled a finger nail back once (not all the way, and it wasn’t that bad to begin with) and it made me paranoid for a long time.

Agree with this. I wouldn’t mind at all if they ditched Monday altogether, tradition be damned, and stuck with Thursday.

One of those days they should strip down, no other scores/news scrolling. Small clock/scoreboard in the corner. Make it X/Os, not all these ridiculous irrelevant talking points. No highlight show. Would be perfect for the Thurs game before everything happens.

Of course, ESPN spent probably 5 hours a day (literally) talking about Cowboys/NYG before the season started, so I’m pretty sure it can’t happen.

I think I prefer the Thursday night game over the Monday night game, to be honest.

This incarnation of “Monday Night Football” isn’t the appointment viewing that it used to be, pre-cable. Not even close, really.

I wanna get Dad a beer!”
“No, I wanna get Dad a beer!”
“Kids, kids, you both can get me a beer.”

I remember running to fetch beer and always attempting to open them on delivery. The day I opened a beer went like this.
