Week One roundup and Fruity Beer

So it turns out that some things change and others remain the same.  I guess that is a maxim to live by and it certainly applies in the NFL.  Here are some things that have apparently changed:

-  Drew Brees - WTF happened here?  He went from stud last year to looking like a deer in headlights rookie!  He threw some of the worst passes I have ever seen!  Perhaps his lakc of skill was magnified because right after another Brees groaner we would see Peyton whip out a missile right on target, but seriously - he looked BAD.  I hope for his sake that this is just opening day jitters....

-  The Chiefs - We knew that they would not be as good as last year, but losing to Houston, like that?    You saw it on my earlier blog where I pout them at 7-9 and I think that this was being generous!  I think that if they keep this up they could give the Raiders a run for their money for last place!

Some things that have not changed:

-  Peyton and Tom - man these guys looked good.  It is hard to imagine how any AFC team (all of whom could beat any given NFC team) could beat these guys.  I pity the fool that has to play these teams.  I guess the only thing that the rest of the league could hope for are injuries because otherwise this is a lock!

-  The Raiders - yes, as it turns out they still stink, losing at home to the Lions.  Hey, but Kitna was hot right?  It was sad - why did they start McCown rather than Culpepper?  The offense did have a pretty good day (if you ignore the turnovers that killed the game) - McCown was # 3 in passing in the league and the Raiders lead the AFC West in points scored (and points given up).  Jamarcus has agreed to a deal so when the Raiders are 1-8, he may get a touch or two...

Fruit in beer

I recently came across some Miller concoction that has lime juice already squirted in the bottle of beer.  I can think of no abomination greater than this, well maybe a few:  warm Coors, Guiness in a bottle, etc.  First off - DONT PUT FUCKING FRUIT IN YOUR BEER!  I mean, it's beer people, not some sort of springtime fruit platter! So if adding fresh lime to your beer isn't bad enough, this beer has some sort of premanufactured lime concentrate squirted into the bottle on the assembly line.  Nice touch!  Thanks for that refreshing squirt of Citric Acid and sodium benzoate friend!  Can you toss in a little dog shit while you are at it!
