Bar Observations

By Just A. Bartender

Dilworth, NC – Ohio State opened the season last night, smashing the bumbling turds, YAWN… I head to Ann Arbor in the morning to see U of M re-dedicate the Big House.  What a great day it will be for this famous old stadium.  The press box looks awesome, the new luxury boxes are great.  One last problem, Michigan sucks.  They are 2 and a half point favorites over UConn.  Take the points, the Huskies may beat the hell out of the Wolverines.  For my friends that love the ugly helmets I hope they fare well, but I don’t think it will happen.  Of course, a lot of Wolverine fans are rooting for RichFraud to get fired so they may enjoy it.  Michigan should lose this game.

Dilworth, NC – Oh what a fun day to read the internet, Tony Dungy and Rex Ryan made up, Clemens got indicted, Brett Favre upstaged with Percy Harvin collapsing.  Then the cherry on the top of the drink today, is Nike messing with Ohio State’s uniforms again.  They won’t be released just yet, but Nike has said they will be honoring 1954 National Championship team.  It is good to honor teams of the past, but all it is just a money grab by Nike and the university.  If they want to go with a throwback do it against another team.  Part of being a Buckeye is showing off how many Buckeyes you have earned for the season, not having those on your helmet for the biggest game of the year is like having a trumpet player dot the “i”.

Dilworth, NC – So there are some questions and arguments that have come up during this time of giving. Let’s look at all this hubbub going on as gifts.

Brad Childress to Brett Favre – A ration of shit, and embarrassing a legend on national TV. I myself didn’t see it when it happened, I was busy hosting my Hideous XMas party 12 blocks from the bruhaha. Childress get over yourself, you have staked your career on building a team around a player you didn’t have, now you have him, you are a couple of wins away from a bye in the playoffs, let him check off and try to win this thing for you. Favre is teflon, no matter what he does people love him and will always love him, he is John Wayne wrapped around Joe Montana. Ride the storm and win the NFC.

Random Thoughts

Every year around baseball playoff time, we always here from who I like to call the “Yankee Haters”. What’s not to hate, you might be asking, they’ve won 39 AL Pennants and 26 World Series Championships. It’s a huge miss conception in America that we love the underdog, actually we love people that win, and no one wins in baseball more than the Yankees. If you are a baseball fan, how could you not like watching the Yankees. For a veteran team to play with such youthful exuberance was fun to watch. » Read the rest of this entry «

Dilworth, NC – I picked the Dodgers in the National League, and might as well get it out of the way for the American League Championship Series. The Yankees will win it. It does pain me to do so, but they are a better team than the Angels.

Dilworth, NC – Busy week with baseball games starting in the afternoon, which is great. The playoffs in any sport are a chance for breweries to start new ad campaigns, therefore I decided to match up beers with stories and the people and teams making news this week. I figured it was a chance to not only offend everyone about their favorite team, but also their favorite beer.

With apologies to Gussie Busch, we raise a glass to the late Harry Caray:

Dilworth, NC – While watching the great Brett Favre beat his old team in the Metrodome, you see the patches of turf where the bases will be at four o’clock CT.  Nothing like a one game playoff to decide a season, which is exactly what the Tigers and the Twins will do.  Now from behind the bar, a little history lesson on play-in games.

Dilworth, NC – Happy birthday Bruce Springsteen.  Sixty years-old, wow, I think that makes us all feel old.  In honor of the Boss’ Birthday and the start of his tour next Wednesday night in Giants Stadium, I thought it would fun to pair up current sports stories with Springsteen songs.  So here we give it a try.
