Week 3 - That yeasty taste

Another interesting week in the NFL.  Some things change and others stay the same, but the things that are changing - OY!  Alas, gentle reader, you may get an impression that I  somehow favor one team over another in this blog.  If this is the case, how right you are.  It is, after all, my stinking blog!

Patriots - impressive again.  I am not sure what can be done to stop them besides the cruel fate of injuries.  I seem to recall LT getting bruised ribs at the bottom of a pile a few years back - perhaps some of this could be applied to the Pats....

Eagles - and here I was writing off Mr. Piss and Moan Because I Am Black McNabb.  His comments are stupid and proves that he was frustrated by his shitty play.  Frustrated enough to shake it off and throw for a bunch in a 56 point outburst!  Nice game, to be sure, but here is a prediction:  He will get banged up and won't finish the season in this form.  At that point he will become embittered and become a racist.  Again.

Indy - Yes they are 3-0 but not in the same way as the Pats.  A bunch of 2 point wins against people that they "should" kill does not impress me.  These guys are beatable and we will see how they do against the AFC West.  Oh yeah, I hate friggin anyone named Manning.  Even nuns named Manning, actually especially them because they get a chance to take a new name once they take their vows!

San Diego - What can you say about this.  Hmmm, how about looking back at my post from this spring about the dumbasses named Spanos and Smith.  I watched that play that won the game for the Packers and knew right away that had Donie Edwards been in the play it would have gained 10 yards max.  It seems that Smith and Co. complained that his tackles (that led the team for 5 years) were too far off the line.  Hello shithead - at least he tackled them!  Now it seems that the Bolts will do without tackling at all.  Boy that sure works good!  Once Donnie works over the bolts this weekend (I predict 5 solo tackles and an pick), the Bolts will have been beat up by Edwards, Harrison, and Seau  -  all of whom were considered to be expendable.  I'll save the stuff on Norvenstein for another post as that is much funnier.

Oakland - first off the Raiders are tied with the Chargers - take that!  It seems that young Lane Kiffin learned a few things in Denver when Shanafuck stole the game.  He learned how to steal a game using a bogus time out AND he finally pulled shithead McCown out!  For God's sake - why did he wait so long?  What did Daunte do to him?  McCown has small yardage numbers, few TDs, and boatloads of picks PLUS two bum feet.  Yet - it was a W - the first since late October of LAST YEAR!  We can only go up from here and look for an upset in Miami!


Beer

Charger fans - do you know that shitty taste in your mouth?  Well that is the taste that you get from a boatload of yeast in your beer.  Yes, yeast is indispensable in the making of beer.  I have used it to great effect in my own brewing efforts.  But it belongs in the brewing process and not in your beer.  I LOVE Sierra Nevada - LOVE - but I will not drink it from the bottle because these purist fuckheads can't bring themselves to filter that yeast out because they want to finish the beer in the bottle.  Please - save it for the beer snobs.  You know the type - the ones who write shit like this into Beeradvocate.com describing Fat Tire Ale:


Poured a clear, light copper color with a good amount of carbonation and off-white head. Decent lacing. Aroma was rich and malty with a fair amount of biscuit and caramel. Hops were definitely secondary. Fruity, plum-like scent. Medium body. Spicy fruit flavor with plenty of sweet malt. Floral hops were in the background. Mouthfeel was about average. Well balanced. Could use a little more pizazz. Quite drinkable, though, and could be a good session beer, particularly at restaurants with limited beer selections.

What the fuck is that?  Is this queer describing beer or flavored condoms?  C'mon, "Mouthfeel"?  "Gee Frank your crotch smells lovely, like biscuits and caramel - are you using a new wax?"  What is a session beer?  To me a session needs about 20 beers!

Beer should be filtered of the yeast before being presented to the drinker.  Period.
