Weekly Shots of Rum: 11/14/11 – 11/20/11
Last week’s round of shots went down pretty smoothly, so Jobu is back with some more for you!

A Surprising Weekend
Jerry Ballgame gives us his thoughts on the happenings in Boston sports from this past weekend.

The first…
Eli Manning: Elite Enough for Me
Is Eli Manning an elite NFL QB? Jobu weighs in. I know this post is a little late, but this is something that has been simmering inside me since Sunday afternoon, and I started my own blog so that I could write about whatever I want, so I’ve decided to touch upon the whole “is…

Fantasy Football Preview: AFC West
With football looming (first game is thursday, all other teams start a week from today), I figured it was about time to crank out the rest of my fantasy football previews.
