Things We Like: Bell’s Oberon Ale

This looks like it’s on the fast track to becoming The Other Fifteen’s inaugural meme. I figured I’d take my crack. I don’t even say the word “sports” after that!
But seriously: Bell’s Oberon Ale just might be the best beer to grace God’s green earth.
But, unlike JD’s riff on Dogfish Head, I am not simply [...]

Things We Like: Dogfish Head Beer

Like most people who like sports, I also like beer. I’m now 28 years old, and becoming a snob faster than I would like to admit. In other words, I’m trying to cut down on piss-water beer when I’m not playing drinking games (Jerm: mulligan on the other night. Three-dollar PBR’s are not a choice; [...]

Things We Like: Blonde Redhead

So Pat and I went to the Blonde Redhead concert in Brooklyn on Saturday, one of the many great free concerts that dot the city throughout the summer.  For those of you that don’t know, Blonde Redhead is a three piece band made up of a Japanese lead singer, her Italian husband on the guitar, [...]

Growing Ugly Facial Hair

Welcome to the Not Sports section.  You comfy?  Want something to drink?  No, you ‘re good?  Ok then, let’s get started.  I have an unheard of amount of facial hair.  I pretty much shave from my eyeballs to my collarbone.  To say that I am hairy is like saying that Angelina Jolie is kind of [...]

The Other Fifteen Podcast Lives!

After literally decades of planning, the Other Fifteen finally has a podcast…
What’s a podcast? I’m glad you asked.  It’s like the radio, but it scares your parents more.  It’s like a blog but more MP3ish.  It likes a tornado where no one dies but lots of trailers get destroyed.  It’s that good.
How best should I [...]

Just so you know whose side we’re on.

I took a look at the old Google analytics for this here internet concern and lo and behold, we got the Devil on our side. This reminds of the time I was at a rest stop in God knows where Iowa and I purchased a pack of Camel Lights and some Chapstick, the total for [...]

Wait, We Have To Play A Second Half?

Kaka and company: go ahead and put your thumb in your mouth. You deserve it. The U.S. Men’s National Team played like Brazil in the first half of the FIFA Confederation Cup Championship, then Brazil played like Brazil in the second half. The result: a 3-2 loss. The general media is jumping all over this [...]

Happy Birthday Jeter. Now Go Deflower Some Hot Girl We Don’t Even Know About Yet.

I’m a Yankees fan. And like every Yankees fan, I like Derek Jeter for reasons I don’t think I need to go into, as they will be incredibly repetitive and derivative. Also like many other Yankee fans, I am often disenfranchised with the way the team is run. Jeter is in the final two years [...]

NBA Arms Race

So despite the 2009 NBA draft being held last night, the big news is the trades that have gone down before the draft.  Every trade involved a star player and a championship-caliber team.  Let’s review the trades made, the teams who made them, and the implications it should have on the 2010 season and playoffs.

Geovany Soto Tested Positive for PKDs

So a couple days ago Mark Twan posted a piece on Performance Killing Drugs, specifically marijuana.  Now he looks like a genius, because today we found out that Cubs catcher Geovany Soto tested positive for marijuana while playing for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.  Soto claimed it was a one time event, but [...]
