isPermaLink="false">http://www.ephemera21.com/nfls-beer/</guid> <description><![CDATA[ Budweiser?   Anheuser-Busch InBev , a Belgian/Brazilian brewer that now owns Anheuser-Bush, has over 250 beer brands produced and sold throughout the world. This makes them the largest brewing company ever conglomerated.   The NFL can not even get an American owned company that brews beer?     Miller- Miller Brewing Company , although based in Milwaukee, WI, is owned by SABMiller (South African Breweries) which was created in 2002 when it was purchased from the Altria Group.   Why not American BEER? 1. The Boston Beer Company , brewers of about 20 different varieties of Samuel Adams, is probably the best known "craft brewer" in the United States (and is, in fact, the largest). Sam Adams beers are "contract-brewed" meaning, they are so large that not all of it comes from one brewery. Hence, Sam Adams can be found nationwide. With a name like Samuel Adams--an American patriot famous for his role in the American Revolution--it is one of your best beverage choices for patriotic consumption this Fourth of July. For a hot summer weekend, try Sam's Summer Ale, Sam Adams Light, and the original Sam Adams Lager. Or . D.G. Yuengling &#038; Son , commonly called Yuengling, of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, is the oldest operating brewing company in the United States, having been established in 1829, and is one of the largest breweries by volume in the country. They produce, among others, the popular Yuengling Lager. Or 2. Shipyard Brewing Co. in Portland, Maine makes the fantastic Shipyard Export Ale as well as a Summer Ale that is slightly less hoppy, perfect on a warmer day. 3. Abita Brewing Co. in Louisiana makes Abita Amber and Purple Haze for the warmer days and Turbo Dog for those cooler nights. 4. Anchor Brewing Company , in San Francisco, CA, makes the very popular and easy-to-find Anchor Steam as well as a seasonal summer wheat beer. 5. Magic Hat Brewing Company in Vermont, makes the easy-to-find-east-coast beer #9. 6. Pete's Brewing Company of San Antonio, TX, makes Pete's Wicked Ale, an American Brown Ale. One of my personal favorites--if I can ever find it again--is Pete's Strawberry Blonde, a summer brew.   We at the National Fauxball League want Americans to drink Fauxbeer from other countries.   We pride ourselves in running the beer con on America to go along with the Fauxball con we have going now!   We cannot afford American made beer commercials   Just ignore the fact  that the game has  changed with the beer the fans enjoy.   They just don't need AMERICAN made beer.   They don't need real football like they just don't need AMERICAN made beer.   Just don't pay any attention to how we save money to promote the National Fauxball League.   How we make money.  The average price of an NFL ticket rose 4% this season to $75. The increase was fueled largely by the steep prices at the Cowboys' new stadium, Team Marketing Report's survey of NFL ticket prices said.   One game?  The sticker shock doesn't end with the cost of tickets, however. The Fan Cost Index -- what it takes to bring a family of four to a game -- is $759 in Dallas, by far the highest in the league.   We are in the business of making money from you the fans,anyway we can,$60.00 stadium tickets more if you want good seats $25.00 parking,imported beers at $7.25 average in a plastic bottle,$7.50 hot dogs we buy in bulk at 10 cents a dog. YOU PAY MORE  and get less for the game of Fauxball.   The National Fauxball League is going green, faux turf,faux play and rules that keep any injuries from occurring.   We at the National Fauxball League will be combining with the  Lingerie Football League for harder hitting action, since hitting is no longer allowed in the National Fauxball League. Get ready to RUMBLE!   These players will soon become NFL players around the league drafting from LFL will start this spring!   They will fit right into the new rules!   They will be protected like a National Fauxball quarterback with a sprained pinky finger.   The official crying booth will still only be open  to National Fauxball League quarterbacks.     Thanks to rising ticket prices, overall cost, and the quality of NFL broadcasting, the majority of professional football fans will be staying home this season. The USA Today ran front-page news this morning that most Americans no longer have the urge to actually attend games.   I wonder why?               ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Budweiser?</p><p> </p><p><strong>Anheuser-Busch InBev</strong>, a Belgian/Brazilian brewer that now owns Anheuser-Bush, has over 250 beer brands produced and sold throughout the world.

If that shot comes -- and indications are it could come as early as Wednesday -- the first stages of a major realignment of the conferences could be sudden, swift and dramatic.   The Pac-12, which has received interest from Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, does not want to make the first move. After last year's drama, when commissioner Larry Scott's league was the aggressor, the Pac-12 has been happy to sit back and look forward to the day its 12-year, $3 billion media rights deal kicks in. The league doesn't need to expand. But if another conference -- the SEC, for instance -- decided to grow, then the Pac-12 would be far more inclined to listen to the schools searching for safe haven outside the Big 12, where the environment has become too toxic for a certain powerful school (rhymes with Stokelahoma) to bear.   By Tuesday night, the SEC should know whether it has the required nine presidential votes to extend an invitation to Texas A&#038;M, which sent a conditional withdrawal letter to the Big 12 last week. If the Aggies get the invitation, they will accept and announce as early as Wednesday their intention to join the SEC. Then, things could get wild.   So, with college sports again on the precipice of a major realignment for the second time in 15 months, here are the answers to a few key questions.   • Who is the aggressor this time? Last year, conferences sought out new members. The (then) Pac-10 courted six Big 12 schools, while the SEC courted Texas A&#038;M and Oklahoma. This year is more like a Sadie Hawkins dance. The schools are the ones doing the asking. Texas A&#038;M approached the SEC in July. Oklahoma approached the Pac-12 in August. The tenuous threads that tied the Big 12 back together after near-Armageddon last year began to snap as schools pushed back against the Longhorn Network -- which Texas launched last month. Texas A&#038;M saw the Longhorn Network as a looming monster that would ensure the Aggies were relegated to second-class-citizen status in their own state. So A&#038;M president R. Bowen Loftin reached out to the SEC to see if the league still had interest in expanding into Texas. Meanwhile, Oklahoma president David Boren, fed up with instability in the Big 12, said last Friday that the Sooners will have a voice in this round of realignment drama. "We obviously want stability in our conference relationships," Boren told The Oklahoman . "We want partners that are above outstanding, both athletically and academically. A conference that's strong is not only stable, but it's one in which there are multiple relationships, along with sports, between university members."   • Where does Texas stand? That's an interesting question. The Longhorns are tired of being painted as the villains, so don't expect them to make any move before the Sooners. But if Oklahoma -- and by extension Oklahoma State -- breaks away from the Big 12, then there would be no Big 12 left to salvage. Texas would need to decide whether it wants to join a conference or be independent. The Pac-12 probably would be the most attractive conference option.   • But what about the Longhorn Network? If Texas moved to the Pac-12, it would be possible to fold the Longhorn Network into the Pac-12's new regional network structure. Texas may have to partner with another school such as Texas Tech to make the deal work. Remember, ESPN, which runs the Longhorn Network, also is a network partner of the Pac-12. ESPN could essentially negotiate with itself to make a deal work that keeps all its partners happy.   • So if Texas A&#038;M goes to the SEC and four Big 12 schools go to the Pac-12, are we far away from multiple 16-team superconferences? Let's hop in the time machine and travel back to July 2010. In an interview with SI.com, the Pac-12's Scott explained that he believed superconferences would eventually form. "Something like that is bound to happen at some stage," Scott said 14 months ago. Why? Because when he floated the idea in 2010, Scott found that television executives loved it. "What you couldn't predict is what fan reaction would be, what media reaction would be and how the TV executives who would ultimately have to stroke some big checks would react," Scott said. "That was the part that was very pleasing. I got contacted by every major TV network in the country."   Since the SEC has barely acknowledged the concept of expansion, we don't know whether commissioner Mike Slive wants to go to 16. We do know that he told CBSSports.com in July that that league was capable of getting that big. "I could get to 16 (teams) in 15 minutes," Slive told the site. Meanwhile, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said this to The Chicago Tribune : "We're about as comfortable as we can be with where we are. We've said we will continue to monitor the landscape, but we have closed down active expansion." The landscape could begin to shift this week, but it's still unclear what that would mean for the Big Ten, which would need to add schools of significant value (read: Notre Dame and others) to ensure its current members didn't lose revenue in the deal. At any rate, the Big Ten would have plenty of time. The league could wait a few years, see how the dominoes fall and time expansion to its next media rights deal.   • Can the Big 12 still be saved? Never say never when talking realignment. Last year, the Big 12 was dead until it wasn't. Do not underestimate the power of Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe to complete a Hail Mary. He has done it before. Until Texas A&#038;M has nine votes from the SEC presidents, the tilt-a-whirl probably will not spin. Still, it's difficult to imagine a scenario in which the Aggies could come back to the Big 12. They seem to have passed the point of no return. But until the SEC presidents vote, nothing is certain. __________________________ ﻿ ﻿ ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>So where are all the people now who called me an idiot for even broaching the subject of this SuperConference idea?   Uhoh&#8230;it&#8217;s about to happen!<br

Both are Auburn Recruits.   Reed, a former Thibodaux quarterback, signed with Auburn in 2010 and was redshirted his freshman season. Robinson, an offensive lineman, was a part of the defending national championship’s 2011 signing class.   The NCAA’s investigation also centered around Thibodaux resident Sean Nelson’s involvement in the recruiting of Reed and Robinson. Nelson, who became Reed’s guardian after his mother died two years ago, took both players on visits to Auburn. Both players were interviewed for 5 hours in Thibodaux by the NCAA. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall, but have been told by sources close to Reed, that the meeting did not go well for Auburn or Reed.   Next up for the NCAA is to head North to Fayettville, AR and start investigating the recruitment of Michael Dyer, Kiehl Frazier, Dakota Moseley and Kodi Burns. All 3 are Auburn football players and are somehow involved with Walt Williams. Williams is the owner of Pinnacle Preps, LLC.   Pinnacle helps promote high school prep stars to colleges. Pinnacle “marketing” service owned and operated by Walt Williams, a graduate of Shiloh Christian who played under Gus Malzahn, and still has a relationship with him.  He makes up to 3k making a kids recruiting website, talking him up to coaches, editing videos, etc. Auburn calls these guys “Handlers” and they have more and more “Handlers” each year to circumnavigate the parents of these recruits. From the Pinnacle Website: Promotion This is the step where our team joins the effort to further help your chances of being recruited. Through our relentless marketing and our saturation of college markets we are able to get your name and skill set out in front of many of America’s best football programs. DVD’s, personal website’s and promotion materials are some of the ways we can help you become more publicized. IF the allegations in the Complaint filed by Lindsey Smart against Pinnacle Preps, LLC and Walt Williams in Washington County Circuit Court on February 12, 2010 are true, any amateur athlete using Walt Williams or Pinnacle organization services in full as described may have their eligibility in JEOPARDY.   Auburn tried to do this very shady deal with Alabama commit, Cyrus Kouandjio and thus messed Cyrus up mentally on where he wanted to commit to play football. There are rumors that Cyrus and the Kouandjio family turned in Auburn and the “Handler, Brian Overstreet”, that Auburn tried to use in his recruitment. Cyrus’ parents  had NEVER visited the campus or spoken with Cyrus’ parents.   For the full story of why Williams and Pinnacle are BAD NEWS, Go Here.   Can Newton may have gotten by with the loophole, but LSU and Arkansas are raising holy crap about players being bought and the NCAA nor SEC Commissioner, Mike Slive can afford to turn a blind eye to all of these other SEC schools. It’s only a matter of time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a

He failed to finish a game due to injury on seven occasions since taking control of the Packers as quarterback. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] Besides Favre, there is only one other active streak of 100 or more games among quarterbacks, that of Peyton Manning . Since the beginning of Favre's consecutive start streak, 212 other quarterbacks have started in the NFL, [ 38 ] [ 39 ] 12 of them being back-ups to Favre at one point. [ 35 ] Among his former backups are: Don Majkowski , Ty Detmer , Kurt Warner , Mark Brunell , Steve Bono , Doug Pederson , Matt Hasselbeck , Danny Wuerffel , Aaron Brooks , J.T. O'Sullivan , and current Packers starter Aaron Rodgers . Two veteran backups to Favre never started another NFL game: Jim McMahon , and T.J. Rubley . The consecutive starts streak is widely considered one of the most notable streaks in sports, so much so that the Pro Football Hall of Fame has as an exhibit displaying the jersey Favre wore during his record breaking 117th consecutive start as a quarterback, and a section of their website devoted to what the Hall of Fame calls an "Iron Man". [ 40 ] In 2009, Favre surpassed Jim Marshall for starts at any position with his record-breaking 271st start as a quarterback as the Vikings played the Lions.
