Please don't get too offended when I say this, but reading or listening to someone's rants about the NFL being like a performance at Stratford is one of my least favourite things to do.

Watching a NFL game falls somewhere between watching baseball and cleaning out my eaves troughing on my list of "enjoyable things". Americans are good at playing sports... inventing them, not so much.

I saw some Guinness being served along with something else that wasn't bud or coors light, but I was kind of, um, worn out from beers the night before at the Pearl Street brewpub. Had some tasty pale ale double ipa.

Went to Premier Gourmet and brought back some potentially tasty stuff

dogfish 90 minute ipa
middle ages beast bitter
southern tier:hopp, unearthly Imperial IPA, über sun , heavy weizen
rogue: juniper ale, youngers bitter, and i2pa ($18!! better be good)
stone ruination
coniston bluebird bitter
and a couple of pumpkin ales for my wife, who picked up 6 bottles of yellow tale shiraz wine for about $6 each

That was not what he said at all.

1. Best beer DFH makes.
2. Great little ale
3. Didn't care for the Heavy Weizen, or the Hoppe, haven't had Uber Sun, but the Unearthly is amazing.
4. Liked the Juniper, disliked the Younger's, loved the i2pa but it's not worth 18 dollars a bottle.
5. Absolutely amazing beer.
6. Never had it.

So how'd you like the game? Marshawn Lynch is a total donkey this year.

The game was fun, as it was my first I suppose. My friend got 2nd row giants side tickets, mid field. The tail gate stuff is crazy crazy.

Jaysus! Thanks Rosko, I honestly believed you thought that Shakespeare was a football coach!

Ugh. My point was that to compare the NFL to something as wonderful as a welldone play is stupid. It's a bunch of meatheads standing around for one hour and running into eachother for twenty minutes. Like watching paint dry. Watch rugby, it's like football, but entertaining.

Actually, since I was in 2nd row, I heard the players often quoting shakespear to each other in taunting.

#87 pointing with anger to #45 "The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!"

#45 responded from the same passage, "Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing!"

You're still missing the point of an analogy... He wasn't comparing football to a play. He was comparing CFL to NFL, and stating that it was like comparing a highschool play to a Stratford play.

Let's keep playing this game!
Or stop...since the language you're using is both derogatory and ignorant.

Not even on par. Please don't make me explain why.

Oh double standards. Whatever. Back to beer.

So can anyone confirm that Ralph Wilson Stadium has Flying Bison somewhere?
