Due to Thanksgiving, it’s effect on my job, and my band playing some shows last week, I didn’t have time to get a drinking game posted.
I owe you one, America.
Thanks for dropping by for this week’s action. To atone, here’s a video of a little kid (internet rumors say that he is Atlanta center Al Horford’s younger brother, but I haven’t confirmed that) grabbing some candy and shamelessly eyeballing a cheerleader.
Luckily for us, this week’s MNF game features a putrid matchup between the 2-8 Panthers and the 3-7 Eagles. It will take copious amounts of alcohol just to make it through the game, so we have that advantage going in.
On a side note, how pissed is ESPN at the quality of Monday Night games they’ve gotten?
They pay approximately $1.5 billion a year for the rights to broadcast MNF, and in return they get a steady stream of turd sandwiches to show the fans. Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy any time ESPN does something stupid – and paying $1.5 billion a year for these awful games is definitely stupid – but it just seems like fans deserve better than sloppy thirds after the Thursday and Sunday night games.
Anyway, let’s get on to the drinking game rules.
