National Side Chicks Day, sometimes known as Side Piece Day is traditionally celebrated on the day after Valentine’s Day. According to Urban Dictionary, “February 15th The day men take there side piece(the other girl he is dating on the side) out as if it were Valentines day.” The same can hold true with either sex, really. You may be the side dude. So what really makes this day special?

If the excuse is “I don’t wanna fight the crowds on Valentine’s Day, let’s go out on the 15th”, then you the side chick.

Or “I’m really busy at work on Tuesday, how about we make Wednesday our special day”. You the side chick.

“We just did the Super Bowl party, instead of Tuesday, let’s meet up on Wednesday”. Yes, you the side chick.

So if you get flowers on the 15th, National Side Chicks Day, be proud.

You’re now part of a growing cultural phenomenon.  It sounds classy when I say it like that.  Oh, yeah, there’s also this:

She says that cheating husbands spend MORE on their sides than they do their spouse.  So being the ‘side piece’ does have advantages. Happy Valentine’s Day. And, you know, the other day too.

ABSOLUTE FINAL NFL POWER RANKINGS FOLLOWING SUPER BOWL LVII IN GLENDALE ARIZONA

IT’S A FINAL! Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs for their Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles! It seems like yesterday that it was summer time and we were begging the NFL season to start.  Now it’s over and it’s time to rank all 32 teams one more time, once and for all, with our absolute final NFL power rankings.  But before we list our Final NFL Power Rankings lets take a quick look back at the season.

The Buffalo Bills started as the preseason favorite to win it all.  Before the season ended, Damar Hamlin’s grave health scare made us all Bills fans.  Speaking of injuries, Tua suffered multiple concussions and yet the Dolphins limped into the postseason after an 8-3 start.  Pittsburgh was dreadful but Mike Tomlin figured a way to avoid his first ever losing season.  The Titans slid off the map and the Jags turned out to be pretty decent.  And the Colts… well, I’m not sure what to say about them this season.

Speaking of disasters, the Raiders blew more three-score leads than I can remember.  KC is still good as long as Patrick Mahomes is there.  And let’s not forget about Joe Burrow and the Bengals and how they are poised to make another Super Bowl run.

In the NFC, the Cowboys tried to make a run at them but something isn’t quite right with that team.  Tom Brady’s career ends with a losing record. The Vikings love the nail-biters and the Lions were busy biting knee-caps.  The Rams repeat bid was a disaster and Mr. Irrelevant gave the 49ers some excitement.

It’s been a crazy, crazy season.  And we loved every minute of it.  So, one more time, here’s our Absolute Final NFL Power Rankings for the Shemon  and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida.  Enjoy and feel free to share.

    The Price of Beer at Every NFL Stadium

    The 2022 NFL Season is upon us and it’s time to plan those game day trips. And when watching the NFL, beer is part of that budget. Maybe you plan to catch a game at an out of town stadium? Maybe I’m in Estero and every NFL stadium is out of town for me? That’s actually a lot more true. How much is an Uber round trip to Tampa?

    If you’re looking for the 2023 data on NFL beer prices, you’ll find that here

    So what about grabbing a beer at an out of town ballpark? Por que no los dos? But how much is it? Every year, sports business data firm Team Marketing Report releases its NFL Fan Cost Index and what they found, the price of beer varies greatly across the stadiums. Statista has really good data on this, too.  And the price of a beer seems to be totally unrelated to how good the team is. A beer at a Jaguars game is double what they charge in Cincinnati at a Bengals game.. They could charge more. The Dolphins charge $11 which is why I show up drunk.

    Maybe a lower priced option should be available? The Washington Commanders have no business charging for beer at all. They should make beer free to anyone willing to buy a ticket. And the beer should be brought to me. With peanuts. Enough with the conjecture. Let’s analyze the price of beer at each of the NFL stadiums. Keep in mind that inflation is running pretty hot and I’m writing this on August 4th. They may raise the prices even more.

    Pretty simple, team name, price for a small draft beer (or smallest and cheapest beer available), fun picture.  And a bonus at the end, was the segment from Fox DC5 who were quite upset by the findings.
