KenP — Yes, several times. Then they added the bulletin board and the numbers went way down.

Buck up young Gary, there is always next year.

As for wine, I drink the David Bruce Petite Syrah the most.

QOTD- Sad wine, I agree with earlier post that quantity over quality after bad playoff loss, especially if your holder cannot get a stupid place kick snap down, but I digress.

Cheer up and drink some wine.

Gary referred to those +200 comment episodes as the steroid era!

Yes, Ronguy, I do have experience with Mr. Boone. That is how I consoled myself upon my team not even getting to the playoffs!! Hey, wait a second, how do you even know who my team is???? 🙂

This one of the very few times when G has not responded personally to a post of mine. I wonder if anyone got a reply from him yesterday.

Gare,
Listen, forget all the crap about the Patriots. What you need to focus on are the teams we all really hate, like Eagles and Dallas. Then have another look at the way that Dallas went down in flames. Jets may have given it away but at least they didn’t put on a spectacle like the Cowgirls did
Cheer up and plan a visit to Madison in the summer!

KenP

Yes, guess I made him laugh. ;-D

I’d drink Burgundy when I’m sad or happy, but I can’t afford it.

Got a bit lost on these arcanes of American Football…but understand your feelings, got the same when our french team was trounced 47-3 by the mighty All Blacks in rugby recently…Love everyone of your episodes ; do you have many foreigners in your fan list..?

remember the bengals last year. conference champs…palmer’s knee destroyed on his first pass for a heroic td. season comes to a premature end. we hate the steelers here in cincy, like you do the pats. Like a couple of others said, lets start getting into baseball and focus on what we all love…WINE.

For a comeback, Gary, How about another sparkler episode….I know you want to. some fun Cava and some obscure grower champagne. How ’bout it?

Sorry man. I was rooting for the Jets. I’ll probably be sad either next Monday, the Monday after that or the Monday after the Superbowl…so I’ll let you know what wine I’ll drown my sorrows in when the Bears drop a playoff/Superbowl game.

See you later man…buck up little camper.

GO BEARS!!

Gary- “Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medecine go down, in the most delightful way”. If your angnst(which seemingingly appears to go beyond the game loss) cannot be felt and dealt with libation free, then perhaps a nice late harvest- fill in the blank- of your choice will do.

Also, don’t forget to balance out by perusing the comments section(200+)as I have just done today! You are on a serious growth curve Mr Vanerman. Kudos to you from Kathy and Adrian too up here in Northern Cal, the land of the enchanted AVA’s…

It could be worse Gary, Tom Coughlin could be your coach and Eli Manning could be your Quarterback. Mangini is back, Vilma, Rhodes, and Thomas have barely entered their prime. C’mon man. Drink Laphroaig when sad which may not make you happy but you will feel very manly.

G- sorry. I was rooting hard, as i have all season, for the cinderella season to continue for your Jets. All in all an AMAZING year!!! On that note, congratulations and major kudos on being such a loyal supporter. I’m not a believer in bashing a team or its fans, instead I believe in supporitng an opponent to make you (or your team) play/live up to your (its) highest potential (eg. Boise State v Oklahoma). With that said… hold your head high and be proud of an amazing season that holds great promise for next year. And, in the meantime, as a life long Bears fan, that appreciates loyalty above almost all else, we’d love to have your support in the hope that the opposing teams facing the Bears make the Bears play to their full potential as the Bears go on to victory in the Super Bowl.

Gary, congrats on the Wine Spectator on line feature, you are in the big leagues now, let’s hope we can see you now on regular TV.
Congrats again.

Gary – the only thing missing from this show was you slitting your wrists as the screen faded to black. So your beloved football team lost a playoff game – big deal – yet you choose to drag the rest of us down this morose path of depression and defeat. Talking about wine should have been your salvation and brought you out of whatever funk you were in. GET OVER IT!!!

Thought there might be black bands on the spittoon. Go EAGLES

Top 211! hurray!

Gary, at least you are not a die hard Ohio State fan…sheesh…I feel sorry for those people…Jets at least fought their hearts out all year…the buckeyes got beat up like nobody’s business.

Comment 128…. laugh my ass off! By the way, do you want a slice of individually wrapped Kraft American cheeeese to go which yur whine.

sorry for the loss gary…on a up note! I played the pats verses the jets on the nintendo wii…I won by 21…hope that helps!

Gary-
Sorry about the Jets!
Somewhere, in that brilliant mind of yours – you do remember that it is just a game, right?
It has been a
LLLOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG
time since I saw the dead-pan Gary!
Wow!
Play some Wii, drink some Champagne and eat LOTS of Skittles.
Hopefully we will get ‘energetic’ Gary back soon!
I have not tried Petite Syrah!
Later this week – I hope we can get some petite energy!
Cheer up!
🙂

HA, I totally rofled at Gary. I knew he was just kidding. No way could anyone be that sad over a game (geez, I hope nothing else happened)! What a bad actor he is! 🙂

QOTD: When I’m down… I vaynerpazzzz on all wine and head straight for the Jameson!

All these notes about Petite Syrah. Gary: lets get the REAL THING into the shop:
Warrabilla Reserve Durif. 16.5% – sure, New World, but Jesus, what a great drink!
Blows away anything anyone here has ever had, although hard to find here and marked up big-time from the bargain $17 it is at the vineyard!
