Every Friday we designate this weekend’s honorary drinker. You know, like a parade marshal. Except cooler. This week’s honorary drinker is Robert “Bob” Cannon.

Every Friday we designate this weekend’s honorary drinker. You know, like a parade marshal. Except cooler. This week’s honorary drinker is legendary bartender and questionable mentor Doug Coughlin.

Braylon Edwards just learned Lesson #1 the hard way — you don’t fuck with the King. In honor of that lesson, here is a live version of ”Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley from 1970. Those of you who are familiar with the song may recognize that Presley and the band end up playing this track a little faster [...]
If only Detroit Tiger Miguel Cabrera were a D-Back, he would be ascended to SoD Banner Graphic Status after his performance this weekend. Apparently, Cabrera was totally crushed and required retrieval from the police station just 12 hours before going 0-4 and stranding six runners in a potentially division-clinching game against the Twins.

Every Friday we designate this weekend’s honorary drinker. You know, like a parade marshal. Except cooler. This week’s honorary drinker is the Raging Cajun Gollum James Carville. Why does such an odd looking human deserve this honor? Because he does everything, including drink with Cajun style. Speaking to a graduating class of LSU students a few years [...]

Canada may be a frozen wasteland filled with moose and Mounties but they are truly on the cutting edge of high performance drinking. During the Hamilton Tiger-cats vs. Calgary Stampeders “game” (Candian football?
