Soup Szn Week Four: Cheeseburger in Paradise (Northeast Ohio)

I'm switching up the soup review this week. Not only am I a day late with this review, I'm also changing the flow of the post. 

Hand up, the last few weeks the NFL game results plugged into the soup review felt forced, and therefore I am going to abandon that about as quickly as the Patriots abandoned Mac Jones for Bailey Zappe. Okay...that's the last one I promise. 

This week McKayla and I were coming off a marathon of a Saturday. Literally. We ran a marathon on Saturday. The fact we woke up early enough to watch the blokes in London cheering as Slinky Dog set the first down markers was nothing short of a miracle. NFL Sunday had an early start, and as a result, so did we. 

Additionally, this Sunday, we had a few guests in attendance. My brother, sister-in-law, their son, and their dog all travelled down I-77 to join us for a day full of football and soup. This week on the menu we had cheeseburger soup. The soup was a combination of ground beef, carrots, garlic, onion, Velveeta cheese, and a few other surprises. (note: I said "a few other surprises" because I am not entirely sure what else went into the soup...again...I am the moral support in these soup Sundays...McKayla is the chef.) 

The soup was great! As Browns fans we needed something to pick us up from the colossal disappointment that is the existence of that franchise. And it turns out cheeseburger soup makes rooting for perennial losers slightly more bearable. 

It was a warm weekend in northeast Ohio, and it is going to be a hot week. However, starting Friday, the weather appears to officially be changing. With temperature highs in the mid 50's to low 60's for the foreseeable future we are just a few warm days away from full blown soup season.

Comparing Current NFL Quarterbacks to Popular Horror Movies

Image
It’s Halloween! We're deep into spooky season so in honor of that, I have decided to put together a blog comparing NFL quarterbacks to popular horror movies. There have been a lot of teams that have needed to rely on multiple quarterbacks this season, but for the most part I have compared one QB per team to a corresponding horror movie...enjoy!        Justin Fields – The Happening I want to get out in front of this, I picked a good amount of M. Night Shyamalan movies, I didn’t do this on purpose, the comparisons were just too good to pass up. If you missed The Happening it was a 2008 dystopian horror/thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel where people were inexplicably and mysteriously dying. Turns out…the plants and trees were fighting back against humanity and killing everyone. Fields is a vegan and therefore, represents the entire plant community for the NFL.                       ...

Declaring War on Duck Donuts

Image
Never heard of Duck Donuts?  Consider yourself lucky.  I've had their donuts a couple times before and in all honesty...pretty good. The relatively small chain provides a range of customizable donuts. Again, as far as quality goes these donuts are bomb...no pun intended on the above image. Having said that, FUCK DUCK DONUTS.  The source of my hatred comes from an event this past Sunday September 18th 2022, a day that will live in infamy for the water-bird pastries. My wife and I stayed the night at my brother, and his wife's place and in the morning I offered to order donuts for everyone. I placed an online order with the Fairlawn location. Order went through, I received a confirmation for my order and a pick up time of 9:04am was sent to my email. When I arrived at Duck Donuts there was a sign on the door that said "Closed Today Due to Short Staffing." Annoying? Yes. But this is not something to wage war over.  The frustrating part was the fact I was charged for the...

Beau Gannon's Gossip Girl Recap - Episode One

Good people of the internet, I am asking you, to follow me, a 32 year old man, as I embark on a journey through one of television's most decorated, respected,  poignant examples of a late 2000's teen drama...Gossip Girl.  I have never watched Gossip Girl before this, and I know nothing about the show. Found out yesterday that Blake Lively, Tony Romo's brother-in-law, Cindy Lou Who, John Tucker's brother, and the girl from a Netflix movie (The Weekend Away...bad movie) are all in this show.  My initial reaction? I'm going to love it. Is it good? Verdict is still out on that...but regardless I am going to love it.  Here is my reaction to episode one:  I am team S. S is Serena, but Gossip Girl calls her S, and I want to remain canon. Serena and Blair (Weekend Away girl) were longtime friends but S slept with B's boyfriend (Tony Romo's brother-in-law) and we discovered this information because Chuck Bass (we'll get into him in a moment), saw them going at it...
