A Beer Too Far For Boston's Smack Talking Mayor

Seriously? The Boston Globe reports:

[Boston Mayor Tom] Menino told reporters Thursday morning that he and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock are going to work out a wager later in the day over Saturday night’s game at Gillette Stadium

“He wants me to do the Tebow expression. I do that every Sunday in church,” said Menino, referring to Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow’s habit of taking to one knee to pray after big plays.

Instead, Menino was thinking about offering a sample of local beer.

“We have the best. I mean, you know, Colorado beer? It hasn’t even made it east yet. Sam Adams has made it to the west and Harpoon has made it out there, but Colorado Rocky beer? Uck,” Menino said.

But Menino was confident he wouldn’t have to give away any Boston brews, saying Denver’s game is about as weak as its beer. [Pols emphasis]

Some serious fighting words, citizens. If we weren’t staking Colorado’s reputation on Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, whom we admit we don’t quite have the, well, faith in to feel overly uppity…in any case, Tebow had damn well better prove this East Coast chucklehead wrong. Even if Tebow doesn’t care if Colorado’s beer industry is being unfairly denigrated by some bottom-of-the-watershed Massachusetts urine drinker, this is a matter of honor now.

That’s right. There is urine in Boston beer, folks. Yet another reason why we live in a place where you can see the municipal water supply. It’s on the mountains above you.
