BEER SWAP LOCKOUT?

WELCOME BACK, NFL!

The return of the NFL Season, brings with it some Beer Swap controversy. The Philadelphia Eagles will play the New York (whatever you do, do not punt to DeSean Jackson) Giants in the New (but still smelly) Meadowlands on November 20, 2011 at 8:20 p.m. As is tradition from the time of the Swap Founding Fathers, the Beer Swap shall "thus teketh place on the date and time aforesaid."

However, there are voices of dissent.

Unnamed sources have advised me that some of unwashed Swap masses believe that the Event is better placed after Thanksgiving and closer to Christmas. Still others complain that the imbibing is better placed in an afternoon game.

I for one believe in tradition and am prepared to lock out any who disagree. (Don't be fooled, although the "bevridges" (sic) will be consumed at my parent's house, I still have a key and will literally lock you out.)

In the interest of negotiation (ala President Barry O and the debt cieling), I am willing to offer a compromise and allow you to have the chance to vote and agree with me.

Your choices are:

1) November 20, 2011 at 8:20 p.m. (Eagles @ Giants); or

2) December 11, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. (Eagles @ Dolphins).

Voting will remain open until midnight on Friday, August 5, 2011. Please email me with your vote.
