I’m just drinking lol. Remy Martin VSOP and Heineken
October 5th, 2017 at 8:46 PM ^
That's a high-class boilermaker.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:00 PM ^
Nah. Lamar Jackson's gonna have a field day. Louisville 55-24
October 5th, 2017 at 10:33 PM ^
Game isn't over, but I'm so glad you're wrong at this point (3rd quarter 24-13).
October 5th, 2017 at 8:00 PM ^
Go N.C. State, Cleveland, Hogan and Winston (gotta love how fantasy has turned fans from caring about teams to just caring about players)

Besides Concussions. Why watch the game when I only care about 2 players?
October 5th, 2017 at 8:45 PM ^
Agreed. I'm addicted to fantasy football and it's the only reason I watch the NFL (except for Lions games)
October 5th, 2017 at 9:05 PM ^
Whoa. Also rooting for Hogan and Winston. And would have been rooting for Gronk if he hadn't been out. Thank god I had a backup tight end ready for his inevitable injury
October 5th, 2017 at 8:07 PM ^
this made me think of the Tim & Eric "sports" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7u9hP4r1S8

Had a PC Pills now having a Michigan cherry IPA from Perrin. Gotta clean the summer beers out of the fridge.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:25 PM ^
looking legit so far.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:49 PM ^
Bradley Chubb is a beast. Picked him in the MGOFantasy (free pool). My defense is sick.
N.C State is a definite improved and an at least-decent football team.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:31 PM ^
Centennial IPA and NCAA ‘14.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:33 PM ^
Anybody think NC State can play with Clemson?
October 5th, 2017 at 8:34 PM ^
Absolutely.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:47 PM ^
Their Defense is nice. Really impressed with the DBs. This will be a tough one for Clemson. Esp since it's in Raleigh.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:54 PM ^
I'll be at the game.
24-10 Clemson
October 5th, 2017 at 8:58 PM ^
Nice, it's always fun to go to a non Michigan power 5 game.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:33 PM ^
2nd drink--Can Can Martini -- 2 oz Vodka 1.75 oz St Germain .25 dry vermouth shaken and then poured up into a chilled glass.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:05 PM ^
Try 1 oz. White dry wine in place of the vermouth. I use Gin in place of Vodka. St. Germain is lovely.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:34 PM ^
Gin doesn't clash with the Germain?
I'll try it. i like gin. I'm not a wine guy, ie I don't keep enough of it around to just use for mixed drinks and fridge space gets sparse.
Isn't vermouth just a fortified white wine?
October 5th, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^
Rooting Interests:
NC State
Cleveland Indians
Detroit Red Wings
New England Patriots
October 5th, 2017 at 8:46 PM ^
his voice is maybe more annoying than his analysis. would fit in better on the x-games broadcast than this cfb game...
October 5th, 2017 at 8:54 PM ^
Romo in NFL game, Hasselbeck bros in college game.
October 5th, 2017 at 8:58 PM ^
I enjoy listening to Romo.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:04 PM ^
hasselbeck tho...
October 5th, 2017 at 8:51 PM ^
Dez Fitzpatrick doing some things.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:00 PM ^
Meckhi Becton sighting...playing RT. I'm sad.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
Arcadia Brewing in Kzoo! Go pats and wings!
October 5th, 2017 at 11:49 PM ^
and I enjoy the jalapeño corn bread. Setting is cool. Never been a big Arcadia fan, though Cereal Killer can get you fucked up fast.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:03 PM ^
If I had a dollar every time Hasselbeck makes an NFL reference...
October 5th, 2017 at 9:04 PM ^
Seeing Mekhi Becton starting at RT for Louisville makes me depressed. After seeing how shady the Louisville school is after the FBI stiff and how sudden Louisville came on the radar and then his commitment make me wonder...
October 5th, 2017 at 9:08 PM ^
Starting and playing well against at REALLY good DL.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:16 PM ^
I try not to dwell on hypotheticals, but...man...
October 5th, 2017 at 9:11 PM ^
Wow beautiful touchdown for Nc State.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:11 PM ^
seconds later....TD pass
but that's coming back
October 5th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
One of the closeset calls I've ever seen a Ref have to make.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:15 PM ^
Not indisputable... to overturn the TD
October 5th, 2017 at 9:23 PM ^
His foot was on the line. It was pretty clear from one of the angles.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:22 PM ^
Long Swim DIPA.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
NC States got some talent at WR. Theyre looking legit

nice to see an actual apology in a situation like that. lots of [very prominent, cough] people would have either tried to downplay it or doubled down.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:52 PM ^
Not sure if this is true but I saw on reddit that he first expressed regret and that it wasn't a true apology. That was from Daniel Jeremiah so who knows if that is true.
October 5th, 2017 at 10:07 PM ^
still not going to blame him for that 100%. lots of people don't think that kind of casual misogyny is wrong, so not surprising that he would get defensive from the bat. good on him to sit down, reflect (with his pr and after losing sponorships, granted), and clearly acknowledge how wrong it was.
October 5th, 2017 at 9:49 PM ^
"If you took offense to what I said...I'm extremely sorry"
That's one way to be sorry I guess?!
October 5th, 2017 at 9:55 PM ^
Now we're criticizing HOW he's apologies?
If you weren't offended, you're not looking for an apology - thus, he's not talking to you.
He's still an idiot, but at least he owned up and put his face on it rather than releasing a statement. Even if it's prepped in a major way.
But whatever, I've never liked the guy. His comments were gross. But I'm not going to knock him for an apology.
October 5th, 2017 at 10:05 PM ^
it's definitely fair game to critique an apology from a public figure like this. i just think his overall apology was very good. however, that statement is kind of annoying. you should assume your terrible idiotic statement was objectively offensive and not use the disclaimer "if you were offended," and just apologize for the content of the idiocy. but again, that's just nitpicking.
October 5th, 2017 at 10:36 PM ^
I agree...I'm just saying it's looking for something to whine about.
If you're sorry, you're sorry. Didn't need to say to the people he offended. But I understood what he was getting at. I actually thought it was rehearsed, but I didn't feel like he was reading or anything. It seemed somewhat geniune - at least to me.
At the same time I think Cam Newton is an actor who can turn "this" side of Cam on and make people forget that he's really an arrogant, immature, moron who just doesn't "get it."
But I'm not going to knock him for his apology. At least he tried. That's more than some people can say.
October 5th, 2017 at 10:52 PM ^
i like cam. he's a charismatic guy who takes in stride a lot of disgustic slack from the more ignorant portion of the populace.
he is definitely not a polished role model, and has some horribly backwards takes, but it's useful for someone like him to make these kind of mistakes publicly and then publicly renounce the idiocy.
for example, my wife had a pretty shitty work environment at her previous job because her boss said a lot of casual mysognistic shit like this. but she and her fellow female co-workers had no power because they were contract employees, and their home agency didn't want to pick a fight. now, this discussion is happening on many discussion boards across the country. maybe it gives him and people like him pause before choosing to say the same kind of things.
(and note, female as an adjective as used above is chill, but female as a noun is no chill. i've learned that the hard way with the wifey, too).
