Game Grub

When people watch sports, whether it be live or in the friendly confines of their own home, there is, among other things, food. Throughout the course of time, especially in America, there has been a strong relationship between food and sports viewership. Understanding the importance of this connection, I've put together a list of the best possible food choices when watching a particular sport. Now I'm only focusing on the food aspect here, but it should go without saying that a cold beverage is a mandatory part of your meal and/or your game. Never leave a soldier behind.

Anyways, without any further ado here are a few sports accompanied with their recommended meal. Bon Appetit everybody.


BASEBALL: Hot Dog, Bratwurst
Recommended Sides: Watermelon, Baked Beans, Corn, Salad, French Fries

Fire up the grill, throw some brats or dogs on there maybe grill up some onions and let it ride. Ketchup, mustard, relish, sauerkraut, peppers, however you like it just be sure to give the bun a minute or two on the grill to give it a nice toasty taste. I don't think you can wrong with this option as it is a pretty standard food choice for a pretty standard game.



BASKETBALL: Steak
Recommended Sides: Salad, Rice, Steamed Vegetables, Potatoes
The best game to watch and play deserves only the best when it comes to food. A well-seasoned, juicy steak accompanied with a nice salad and rice always does the trick. Maybe add some A1 sauce or Worcestershire sauce depending on the mood but whatever you do, make sure you're cutting that bad boy with CUTCO - the finest kitchen cutlery in the world

Summer Sports

Hydrate up.

Now that summer is here or almost here for most of you, I got to thinking which summer activities are the best when the sun's shining, the girls are half naked, and hydration is a must.  The dog-days of summer can be tough on the average athlete but with the right amount of sunscreen, beverage intake, and competitive spirit, dominating the summer athletic grounds won't be a problem for you.

With no further delay, here's a list of the top 5 activities that are perfect for your summertime experience.

Lather up.

 
5. Wiffleball: Oh yeah, some good ol' wiffleball is always a good call.  Careful though, make sure you're arm and beverage are getting plenty of ice after throwing a high-volume of pitches.

4. Tennis: Tennis can be exhausting, but it's a good way to workout and have fun. I'd recommend a headband and any other band you can get your hands on because you're not leaving the court without a good sweat.

Can It Chuck

He may be wrong, but he doubts it.  I know he's wrong, I don't doubt it.  Charles Barkley has lost some weight but he's also lost his mind.  I've honestly started to think that TNT keeps him on as a NBA analyst for the mere fact that his absurd commentary provides some sort of comedic entertainment.

For example, just last night after the Lakers took a 2-0 commanding lead over the Denver Nuggets, host Ernie Johnson asked Barkley if he still thinks the Nuggets are going to win the series.  Are you serious? Why Barkley even thought that was a logical pick in the first place is beyond me.  But to think the Nuggets can still win after being down 2-0 to a clearly more dominant team is preposterous.

And what's up with these Weight Watchers advertisements?  First of all, how can you go from representing Taco Bell to Weight Watchers?  That'd be like Derek Jeter signing with the Boston Red Sox after his contract expires with the Yankees.  Second of all, Barkley himself admitted that Weight Watchers is a complete scam, basically saying he is making easy money for being their spokesman.  But to be honest, that's probably Weight Watchers' fault more so than it is Barkley's.  As it is though, Barkley runs his mouth more than he runs on the treadmill and that's been his M.O. ever since he retired from the NBA.
