Well for my part I didn't have a dog in the fight personally.  But I will say I have a bit of animosity for the Broncos, as a native Clevelander.  I witnessed "The Drive", and "The Fumble" in the AFC championship games in consecutive years (1987, 1988), Cleveland vs. Denver.  Ugh!!!

we did a blind taste test with a bunch of other half beers and some treehouse beers a while back and the consensus was that they were pretty much interchangeable 

I was deep in the IPA game for a long time and I’d agree that there wasn’t much between Treehouse and OH. I always felt that Trilium had the better of either two.

OG Aslin was something else though. They turned out some unbelievable beers week after week after week. When they moved out of their tiny OG location, their quality went to hell, but the brewery that filled that old space, Juicy, turned out some incredible stuff. Too bad Juicy’s ownership was an apparent shitshow and went under. There’s a new brewery there now and I hope they can churn out some great stuff like their predecessors.

Bo Nix out for rest of season with a broken ankle. Suffered it in OT. That is a WILD turn of events for Denver and the playoff picture.

Still kinda wild for me to see Kevin Burkhardt calling these games.  He's come a long way from being the field reporter for the Mets on SNY lol

That's devastating for the Broncos. Have to think the winner of HOU/NE is the favorite to go to the Super Bowl.

yeah my dad would literally take a detour off 66 to go up to Aslin when coming up to DC.  I can get them and some other decent local beers at the Tenleytown Whole Foods, but what they have varies.  Where my sister lives in Richmond, they literally have Veil Brewery and Vasen Brewery a few blocks from their house.

would be an incredible story though, right?  Like that year Ohio State won the national championship with their third string QB.

Damn. Watched that whole game and didn't really see how it happened.

Second to last play of the OT when he scrambled left. It didn’t look like anything. 

[CAPE]

Last time Denver won a SB they didn't have a real QB. Their defense carried them. Payton Manning had a noodle arm and could barely throw at that point.

Yup, that’s what they just said on the Fox halftime show.

I can’t believe how they’re destroying them. 

[nw baltimore wx]

The thing that surprised me the most about Nix’s injury was the post game presser. No hint at all.

I don’t think Darnold is good and I hope the winner of the Bears/Rams exposes that.

He is playing well and their defense is incredible.

He is the same as he ever was. A mistake waiting to happen.

Oh yeah their D/ST is really good but Darnold is not good

I definitely don’t think he is good, but he has been playing well.

He had 20 turnovers this season lol. They overcome it with their great defense, and designing simple and efficient plays where he can get the ball out and limit his poor decisions. That's why Klint Kubiak is a genius and we need to hire him lol.

Very true. But, dude, you’re too good to be true. I need to know what school you’re attending. I feel like whenever you post a more mature post that most of us, which is often, I’m sending money to a Nigerian prince. 
 

I honestly don't like bringing up this topic a lot because I feel like it makes me sound like I'm trying to flex, but I go to TJHSST in Alexandria, VA.

That makes total sense…great school and keep up the great work.

I actually went to our regional governor's school many eons ago (ours was only math, science, and tech - i had to go back to my regular shitty high school for gov't, english, etc).  The gov school was incredible - took college physics, AP computer science.  There were robotics classes, an EV class (this was 25 years ago).  VA just throws money at these - but yeah - TJ is undoubtedly the flagship.
