Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pittsburgh, and Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-San Diego, don’t just differ on what direction the country should go. No, their partisanship runs much deeper than that. Their juggernaut is over who wins the critically important Steelers-Chargers playoff game that will be held in Pittsburgh this Sunday.
At stake is a "friendly" wager that will mean lunch for the legislative staffs of whatever team comes up on top. If the Chargers win, Doyle will buy Primanti Brothers sandwiches and Iron City Beer for the meal. If the Steelers win, Bilbray will buy Rubio’s Mexican Food and Stone Brewery Beer.
“The Chargers won’t know what hit them Sunday” said Doyle via e-mail, “I almost feel bad about scoring a free lunch off Brian. Too bad they don't have a Primanti Brothers in San Diego."
Bilbray shot back saying, really? “Come Sunday afternoon, the Chargers are going to

The AFC west is consistently one of the toughest & most competitive conferences in the NFL. No AFC west team in the last two decades has anything close to the losing record of the Bengals, not even remotely close.
Working on it! They never have the stuff cold, though. :)
half the stuff shouldn’t be served cold anyway!
HELL you say!
LOL.
The other day, i found a lost sixpack of Spaten Oktoberfest. WOW, was that a treat. God, I really love that stuff.
There is not one team in the AFC West over 500! There are seven teams in the NFL with better records than San Diego that are not even in the playoffs!

If Al Davis lives long enough, their will be. ;~))
Only recently has the AFC West sucked. It used to be one of the tightest divisions in football when the Seahawks were still in the AFC West.
You make my point the AFC is a tough division the Broncos and San Diego were .500.
It should have an additional warning......
“WARNING: Drinking this beer may make you reevaluate your gender and suddenly make you aware of the color mauve. Your hair will start to be “healthy and flowing” and your fingernails will not only be clean but smell good too. Do not place this beer close to any powertools and please, for the love of God, DO NOT offer one to a biker. Remember to sift this beer before drinking to remove all tree bark and guana root particles.

You are one sick puppy.
The AFC West WAS consistently one of the toughest most competitive divisions. Now it’s the home of the Raiders and Chiefs neither of whom have seen the shiny side of 500 in a while or are giving any indications of seeing that any time soon. The Raiders are coming very close to matching the Bengals, in fact if you start the clock the day after the Pirate Bowl the Raiders might actually be worse than the Bengals.
Sigh... it's been way too long...
Sure it is, they both are equally sucky.
Thank God it’s quitting time and my GF is making my favorite tonight. I don’t know what she thinks my favorite is, but I’m sure it will beome my favorite tonight, even if I don’t like it.
Damn, that looks good! Who cares what my cardiologist thinks.
anything that has to be kept and served ice cold so it doesn’t spoil is suspect.
real beer can be aged.
how were the holidays? haven’t seen ya in a while.
101 Wins - 187 Losses - 1 tie (.350)
and your preference would be?
This is a Quarter Travis from Grandma's K&I Diner on South Broadway in Albuquerque. The Travis is named after a guy who always complained about the portions being small, so they set out to defeat him. It's a beef and bean burrito smothered in green chile, cheese, and fries. It comes in whole, half, quarter, and eighth sizes.
I think Squantos and CougarGA7 each ate a whole Travis once.
Thats a chick.
