The Players' Tribune : Drake Johnson and Desmond Morgan
This was initially announced a month ago, that Michigan Athletics was going to partner up with The Players' Tribune, the startup media platform founded by Derek Jeter.
I saw two short pieces today involving Drake Johnson (here) and Desmond Morgan (here).
Enjoy!
1) I really enjoyed Desmond's answer to: "If I could change one rule in my sport it would be …"
and
2) Sorry if this was posted before, but I didn't see it. I searched. I swear! haha
go blue!

Tomorrow night, I'm going to a place that just opened.... they offer over 500 beers. I enjoyed sampling during my time in AA at Ashleys, but my beer knowledge has been really lacking over the last 10 years. In the past, I have enjoyed beers of all varieties.
Suggestions? My wife will likely limit me to two, as I will be driving.

I certainly have no intentions of that. However, I do know there are plenty of beer "enthusiasts" who post on here.
November 14th, 2015 at 10:43 AM ^
Here's an easy way to tell them apart -
I'm a beer enthusiast. I enjoy just about everything (except Hoegaarden, which is terrible). Yesterday, a buddy brought a 12-pack of Miller Lite. I happily drank it. A beer snob would have rather drank his own piss.

Go suck on a Bud Light.
November 14th, 2015 at 6:11 AM ^
If you are drinking a beer shouldn't that automatically remove "pretentious" from the equation? If you want to label someone as a beer snob go ahead I guess. I look at it this way - our choices in the 80's and 90's were only a variety of now what I call "shitty domestic beers". We now have so many amazing beers out there to choose from and enjoy. It is fun to try as many as you can.
One of my clients JDubs Brewing Co in Sarasota makes excellent craft beers and for now my favorite IPA. Snobbery is one word I cannot associate with these guys or the craft beer world for that matter.

I think the crabby part comes from the feeling that someone thinks they are superior to you if they catch you drinking a Bud Light. There's no reason to roll your eyes at someone for drinking a cheap beer. Those Sam Adams commercials perfectly encapsulate my argment.
"Great mouth feel. A wonderfully blend of hops. Earthy yet floral. This is a great beer!"
"It's Sam Adams Boston Lager"
"Fuck! Someone please disinfect my mouth."

Hehe you're laboring under the impression that drinking beer disqualifies someone from being a snob? You must have never met a beer snob. There is an undue pretention to all of them. I'm an IT guy. I think the IT world has a disproportionate number of them.

Yup. Had a couple Deschutes Jubelales last night. But if you see their Abyss, even better.

Sample 250...then, drink the other 250. Take cab home.

Amen. Bourbon barrel aged makes the decision easy. They typically push 10% so if you're only allowed two.... Downside is typically a 10 ounce tulip glass pour though. But damn they're good.

I can't tell you how much it burns me to order a beer I'm looking forward to and have it come in a flowery little snifter.
Worst was the Mellow Mushroom in Houston, the server was "selling" their microbrews on tap and I decided to have their double black IPA, again on tap. Its extra money, whatever, then....waiting for it....it comes in the tinyiest glass. Our server sucked, somehow our pizza took like an hour to come out for whatever reason. I ended up writing a pointed email to the "survey" and the manager did actually call me back to make it right. He claimed that he was bound "by corporate" to not sell a high ABV beer in a large glass. Whatever. If you are ordering IPA one should know that its going to have more alcohol...or publish the ABVs on the menu as is common practice...
November 14th, 2015 at 10:30 AM ^
Yup. That's actually pretty common with high ABV beverages...unfortunately.

Drake Johnson watches Community and Naruto. That is awesome.

The show Community's team are the Human Beings. He's talking about Commie High in Ann Arbor.

for asking our brother/sister mgobloggers when we get to that slow, slow, slow season.
wouldn't it be fun to ask mean joe something like, 'if you were a grizzly bear and not a 7 lb stuffed animal, would you still wear sun glasses?'. or maybe we could get mad hatter to confess to, 'tell us the craziest thing(s) you've ever did to earn your designation as the mad hatter?'.

The most underrated in College Football is The Refs -- Drake Johnson lol
Desmond Morgan is quite sarcastic and funny. Love it.

Great stuff and the pictures were indeed outstanding! Appreciate your posting this. The "Letters to my Younger Self" are a really good feature on there.
