Captain of the Tailgate: A cheap grill means more money for booze

Every Friday over the next several weeks we'll be talking tailgating. That's thanks to a cool sponsorship deal with Captain Morgan. You know, the maker tasty sweet spiced rum with the wacky pirate mascot. Mmmm.

This week, it's grills. Last week, it was my favorite marinade.

The most-vital component of tailgating is the grill. It's not the football. It may not even be the drinks. It's what cooks the slabs of meat. A lot of tailgates you see on TV have these big, huge grills used for smoking and slow-cooking giants pieces of meat.

They've got it wrong. Keep the grill small. Smaller means cheaper. Cheaper means you can spend more money on booze. That means you can more easily sit through your awful team losing. In the comments, let me know what kind of grill you use for tailgating. If you get that far, you'll see a fun video of Marissa Miller.

I'm a cheap grill guy too

Plus, being from Texas, a cheap grill allows you to manage your smoke better (Hickory for life!).

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.
