Title: Getting away from AU football for a minute

and into the NFL.

Gotta say...Peton Manning, extremely impressive.  He schooled a very, very good Steeler Defense.

Also RGIII in his debut looked to be impressive against New Orleans.  Cam also looked good even though they lost, Carolina continues to be plagued by defense.

The dolphins had me fooled for about 23 mins, but then looked like I expected at the hands of a good Texas team.

All I heard was Cam still pretty good and Saints lost. 

Saints lost.  Hahaha. Maybe they will sue.  I'm sure  Judge Ginger will tell them that if she could award them a win she would.

Yes, was extremely impressed with Manning's poise. And against the Steelers. Bravo Peyton.

Sorry about your loss GF, but you even called it a couple of weeks ago. Fins might have a long year. Just hope that it isn't so bad to prevent Tannehill from developing any. It happens.

Ben Tate and Arian Foster in tandem and a healthy Matt Schaub and lawsymercy, the Manbeasts that are JJ Watt and Brian Cushing... Holy shit, the Texans are going to make some SERIOUS noise this year.  That Texans - Dolphins game was the best part of the weekend for me.

They looked very good, however I wouldn't base the season off of one game against the Phins.

It's not just one game.  We got into the playoffs last year with our THIRD STRING QB.  Most of our guys are back and healthy (for now).  And we have Andre Johnson - another man among boys.  That circus catch in the endzone yesterday was unreal.

No question about it. I have already expected that as we have been wallowing in mediocrity since 1998. 

I still have the Phins over/under at 4 wins total for the season.   Gonna be a long football season for me this year.

I still hate football.

At least the Saints have an offense, but holy shit, they are the NFL version of the Auburn defense.

You also have Phillips at DC. As long as he is there, you will be in most ballgames just because of that. He is one hell of a DC.

Do the Texans play the Cowboys this year? That would be one hell of a game. Both look good after one game with no MAJOR glaring weakness.

Manning is whacked out good!  Didn't see the other games, but Manning coaches on the field, and plays QB like none I've seen.

Best get used to that.

Best get used to that.

Austin Grill, a Maryland based Tex-Mex restaurant has a burger on their menu called The Hangover Burger. I’m not exactly sure whether this burger is intended to be the cure or the cause of the hangover. But, lordy, lordy is this a good one! I ordered it once and dreamed about it forever after. The burger features a beef patty, smothered with chili, bacon, queso, roasted jalapeño peppers, and a fried egg. It’s the egg that really does it for me!

Royal Rooster at Red Robin has a fried egg on it...that and a bloody beer....one of my go to remedies.

In Eastchase in Montgomery if I remember correctly, which is right of I-85 en route to Auburn.. but you could likely get a better beer selection in GA. I want to say Stone Arrogant Bastard and Double Bastard are sold in GA now, two of those and it'll help numb the football fail.

Now it has been a year since I've been back but Montgomery is not en-route to Auburn from Atlanta.

Plus with no place to put anything cooler wise if I need a good stout beer I'll go someplace-Irish bread pub in Opelika had some good selections last time I was there and we are right down the street from there-Staying Getting raped at Holiday Inn express in Tiger Town.

Hopefully you'll see that change soon. Once they passed the 750ml law in the state and it went active last month, there has been a MASSIVE influx of good beer coming through. Unfortunately there isn't any Stone to be heard of (I still go to Nashville for occasional beer runs for all things Stone and Brooklyn), but there are some good ones starting to enter the state. Huntsville is the northern stronghold to find great stuff, but slowly I think it's working the way through the state. Rogue Double Chocolate Stout, Founders Breakfast Stout, the Terrapin stuff (MooHoo & Wake N Bake), Bell's Expedition & Kalamazoo stout.. some of those are starting to pop up here and there (if stouts are your thing). Straight to Ale is making some incredible stuff, but it's one local to up here and starting to work its way down to Birmingham. I'm hoping that all this stuff will be available soon for purchase in Auburn as well, if it isn't already.

Then again, if you're in Atlanta, you probably have a much better selection than we do here :) Dogfish Head is one that immediately comes to mind

But if you're coming down 85 from Atl Columbus is sorta on the way if you jet 20 mins down 185 at Lagrange.

 I would rather get into town and do what I need to do (drink). Good beer and hangover food is abundant in Dallas.

If you go from downtown Lagrange to downtown Cols, yes it is.

But from the start of 185 at CR109 where dallas will be to Cols/Fortson where JR Allen Parkway is (that takes you to Red Robin on the North side) - around 25-27 miles or 20 mins with the nice speed limit. Actually meant to say 20 mins, not miles.
