Around the NFL

No clue where to post some stuff not necessarily team related but could be? Feel free to delete if this belongs somewhere else.



Maxx and Parsons would be nasty. I probably wouldn’t pay the price though.

Wow. Two years in a row.

Update on Beer Gate



And here's how the beer companies responded to the fines:

The Church Lady has commandeered the league office. And the league’s official beer sponsor has taken full advantage of it.

Three different fines issued were this week to players who mimed the consumption of a beverage that the NFL presumed to be beer. Bud Light, which reportedly pays the NFL $250 million per year, has leaned in to the league’s crackdown.

Tweeted the Bud Light official account: “$37,384 in the jar … how many beers will that buy for everybody this weekend?”

That highly-specific amount represents the exact sum of the fines imposed on 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk ($14,926), Colts guard Matt Goncalves ($8,847), and Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson ($13,611).

Meanwhile, and as Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News notes, the Cowboys have Miller Lite logos all over the backdrop for their press conferences in Brazil, where they’ll be playing the Ravens this weekend.

It’s all ridiculously hypocritical for the NFL. But the league doesn’t care.

For the NFL, it’s do as we say, not as we brew.

Budweiser still holds up well. Stabler used to call it "Bumweiser" as Bum Phillips used to drink a few ice cold Bud's after a game.

Bud in a bottle is ok but I don't care for Bud light bottle or can

I don't care for light beer at all, but Bud Light is awful, IMO.

Coors tastes like water...

I grew up on Michelob, don't think they make it anymore

Michelob still exists, but the original classic lager and light versions have been largely discontinued or become extremely difficult to find, while Michelob Ultra remains one of the top-selling beers in the United States.

What the hell is up with those ugly ass bills uniforms? Who's idea was that shit? Looks like an outfit from a Tron movie

A KC brewery called "Boulevard" makes "Tank 7", 8.5 %. Good stuff but slamming it is a mistake if you want to remain coherent for awhile. My new favorite basic beer is Yeungling Black n Tan. About the same price as crap beer just a whole lot better.

Pats are getting more than they expected early on
