Er Ah, I Will Drink Craig Ehlo Under The Table


What’s the new hotness in Cleveland besides burning rivers and Mankok? It’s the newest drinking game to take the Buckeye state by storm. All you need is a Cleveland Cavaliers television broadcast and a case of your favorite macrobrew. In no time, you too can be taking pictures of your cock by halftime like our friend Adriano above.

Cavs analyst Austin Carr has inspired a new drinking game among Cavs fans based on various catchphrases he uses during games. Participants drink every time he drops a catchphrase. It’s as simple as that.

So James isn’t LeBron, he’s the “L- train!”

For a slam dunk, (fill in Cavs player here) “throws the hammer down!”

When an opponent’s shot is swat ted away, viewers can count on Carr’s enthusiastic, “Get that weak stuff outta here!”

Fans of other teams can easily adapt this to their favorite announcer or analyst. Wizards fans could drink everytime Steve Buckhantz drops “Dagger!” although this season, they could end up as sober as they started. Nets fans can drink every time Marv drops a “Yes!”. You get the picture.

Instead of being offended by the game, Carr is honored to have a drinking game in his honor.

“…My kids told me about reading it on the Internet,” Carr said. “I consider it an honor that people think it’s worthy of being noticed, that they feel it’s worthy of having fun with.”

Vin Baker and Charles Barkley can’t wait to get in on the fun.

Come on Cavs!!

In case you haven’t ever heard the Cleveland Cavaliers “fight” song, NBA.com has graciously put it up on the Cavaliers’ page for all to listen, as well as the history of this magnificent piece of musicianship…and we say that with the straightest of faces. Ok, not really. Here’s a bit of the inspirational origin of such a classic piece of American musical achievement:

So Morrow sat down at his piano and pounded out an opening refrain. ‘Come on, Cavs,’ the song began. He added a little ‘fast-break-action’ here and a ‘rally-two-by-two’ there. And a few hours later, what Cavaliers immortal, Austin Carr, calls “the best professional team fight song ever” was born.

This song is sure to take Cleveland to the top this year…even though its failed to do so every year since its inception in 1974. And so, without further ado…take a listen below.
