Play like dog crap and still win - I guess that is the moral of this story! Denver did not play a really bad game, but they let the Bengals drive down to tie the game in the last minute - at home! C'mon, that is the Raiders stock in trade - giving in to opponents in the 4th quarter! But to win the game on a botched PAT - that is the definition of luck as the success rate for PATs in the NFL is around 96%. I guess you have got to back your way into the playoffs somehow......
The real killer was the Charger game. Philip Rivers once again had made Pro Bowl Voters wonder what they were thinking as he looked TERRIBLE! Once again, LT saved his bacon with a big first half run (did he look tired to you too?) and set up his one and only pass completion of the first half. Yeah, yeah, it was for a TD, but god he looked bad!
So then the Bolts are trailing the whole way to the Seacocks in a very hostile environment. I can personally attest to the noise in that place as I went up there for the Raiders debacle. Those people in Seattle are either insane or drink way too much coffee because I wanted to put my fingers in my ears it was so loud but since I had on Raider colors and was being mercilessly harassed I did not want to pour fuel on the fire for the drunk asswipe behind me.
Anyway, somehow the receiver gets wide friggin open - what the hell happened to the safety - and Rivers hits him for the go ahead touchdown. The images of Rivers running down the field bewildered that he had completed the pass tell it all - dumb luck. Seems to be a lot of that going around for the bolts this year - watch out because that shit don't fly in the playoffs!
Now for some beer talk. Being the day after Christmas I want to reflect on a strange artifact of the beermaking world: Christmas Ale. I see this pop up every year in stores. Some wacked out micro (or not so micro) brewer comes out with his version of "Christmas Ale". Invariably, this means that the beer is "spiced" with ginger or some other shit. What the fuck?? Why ruin my beer by putting something like that in it? If you were holding a ping glass of regular beer and I walked up and dumped some random spices into it would you drink it? Hell no, you would kick me in the nuts and get another glass!
I mean, guys don't like spiced or otherwise altered beer - period. If you are male and you like spiced beer, I would take a closer look between your legs because what you call a dick is actually just an illusion - you are a GIRL! My younger brother began brewing beer some years ago and his first batches had everything but the fucking kitchen sink in there. Cranberries, pumpkin, nutmeg - what the fuck? This beer tasted like a disaster and was intolerable. Thankfully he has seen the light and now just brews with water, malt, and hops - phew!
So if you found yourself humming a merry Christmas tune while sipping a spiced beer from a holly decorated Christmas glass this year, let me know and I'll put you on my list for a subscription to Ladies Home Journal for next year.
If you think you know of a Christmas beer that is worthy of consumption, post a comment and let me know....

There are no worthy Chistmas beers that come to mind, they are heavy and taste like they have been spiked with frankensense and reindeer shit.
However the Chargers are worthy this year. Come on, what team that wins the Super Bowl doesn't get a little luck on the way. I especially loved the blocked punt fumble recovery for a first down last week against the Chefs. Then watch L.T. go 85 yards untouched on the next play - That shit is just fucking exhilhiarating for a bolts fan.
The fact that Phillip Rivers has looked like shit the last two weeks and the Chargers have still managed to win is a testament to the overall well roundedness of this football team.
Shut down Rivers and L.T. and the defense will get it done. And what about the defense? I'll admit our secondary can be burnt - if the QB has time. The defensive line and linebacker crew is fucking bad ass!Shaun Merriman, Shaun Phillips, Luis Castillo, Jammal Williams, Igor Olshansky - come on man these guys are studs. So I will say, while Rivers has made me nervous the last couple of weeks, the chargers are still good enough to get it done in the playoffs and onward to the Super Bowl where they will defeat the feel good story of the year - New Orleans Saints in a hyped up Brees vs. Rivers matchup. That's all I have to say
