We have our normal football squares experts who know exactly what the sheet below is used for and we also have those fans that have noticed a grid that is proudly displayed during football parties but have no clue what its for.

Whatever your familiarity is, you can use our easy to print football squares sheet for your party for the big game or office pool.

How to Play Football Squares

1. Determine a dollar amount per square and the payout per quarter to be awarded. For example for the sheet below, there are 100 squares. If you charge $25 per square, that means $625 will be awarded to the winner after EACH QUARTER.

2. Have everyone write their name in a square (multiple times is ok).

3. Once all the squares are filled up, make up little pieces of paper that have each number listed 0-9 and the team names.Put the numbers in a hat and get ready to start drawing.

4. Draw the names first to determine what team name to place vertically on the grid and which team is horizontal.

5. Draw the numbers one by one place writing each number drawn over each horizontal column and draw again for the vertical rows side. (there should only be one number, including the zeros, that correspond with the horizontal columns and vertical rows, think x/y axis from math class)

6. Now everyone has a special number that is used to determine the winner after each quarter. This number must be the last number in the score to win. For example at the end of the first quarter, the game is 14-7. The person who has number 4 (for that corresponding team) and the person who has 7 (for that corresponding team) are the winners for that quarter.

This is a video that claims if you can't twist open a beer bottle with your hands, then all you have to do is push the beer top firmly into your arm and twist.

Based off this video, you should be able to open a beer with your forearm and make it look easier than actually using your hands. I'm sort of a wuss and this seems skeptical thought I am curious to try. Have any of you ever tried this method and have it work better than your hands?

 Most people know one of the worst things in the world is to get home from the store to realize you didn’t buy the “already cold” beer. Now you have to waste your time throwing beers in the freezer and hoping not to forget about any that would end up exploding in your freezer.

But to combat this terrible tragedy of hot beer, tech company LG has created a new refrigerator that includes a “Blast Chiller” that can cool a can of beer in a little as 5 minutes.

PopSci explains how it works while seeing it at CES:

“Siphoning cold air up from the freezer while gently rocking two beer cans or a bottle of wine, it'll blast chill a room temperature beverage down to 42 degrees Fahrenheit. A single can cools to refreshing temperatures in 5 minutes; two cans or a bottle of wine, eight minutes. The contoured cradle will secure anything cylindrical and the LG man on hand said he'd never had a can blow up in his face—it's in the swirl, not the shake, he says”

If you are a connoisseur of food that looks like you will get a heart attack 30 minutes after you've eaten it, then welcome to the fatty food club!

Our love for extreme foods has only seem to grow in the last couple years since learning of items like "The Big Fat Ugly" and the KFC Double Down.

But this new creation invented by the guys over at The Chive along with Melissa of Feast on This involves ingenious addition of entire pizzas to serve as your bun. There is a God.

Nacho cheese sauce was injected into the 2 10lb burger patties, topped with bacon (from THREE packs), an additional layer of melted shredded cheddar cheese. This is then topped with jalapenos and hot sauce before the "pizza buns" are added.

My god that sounds delicious. Whoever is having a Super Bowl party should create this and invite me. Don't worry, I'll chip in and bring some napkins and Pepto Bismol.

The good people over at Food Beast were recently inspired by an episode of 30 Rock and decided to take something as delicious as Buffalo Chicken and turn it into a shake.

“Buffalo Chicken Shake turns a buffalo chicken concoction, freezes it to an ice cream consistency, blends it together with milk, and is garnished with a buffalo chicken strip, celery stalk and blue cheese crumbles”

Feel like throwing up yet? I do. But they are quick to note that while its not the best thing they have ever “eaten” and it looks like “a homeless man’s vomit”,  it’s certainly not the worst thing they have ever tried.

A recent competition held in NYC pitted various hacking companies to take a device along with $3,000 and transfer it into something totally opposite of its intended use.

Enter the slot machine that pays you in a perfectly blended cocktail rather than the boring old coins. 

“The computer receives the result and sends ingredients and proportions for the winning drink to a microcontroller, which directs the bar unit, where pressurized containers store alcohol and mixers. The microcontroller uses solenoid valves to flow the ingredients in timed increments through a group of nozzles. An LED screen displays what’s just been served, along with witty lines inspired by Fear and Loathing.”

In all, the machine took about 320 hours to construct and mixes drinks perfectly according to a standard bar tenders manual.

If major casinos can figure out to mass produce this machine, they may have stumbled onto the perfect device to both steal your money but insure that you keep gambling it away.
 

I pose a question to you; what was the unhealthiest, most morally reprehensible meal you have ever eaten?   Whatever your answer was, the dudes from Epic Meal Time have probably already taken it, wrapped it with bacon, dipped it in chocolate, deep fried it and sprinkled it with Four Loko.  I have only recently been introduced to the glorious/horrifying creation that is Epic Meal Time.  Not expecting much as with such a name as ‘epic’ is the internet’s favorite adjective.  

I was wrong, very very wrong.  Epic meal time definitely lives up to its name.  

Jumping aboard the anti-vegan bashing that Blythe started earlier in the week,the premise of Epic Meal Time is elegant in its simplicity.  A group of loud and angry douchebags and the occasional cute girl get together, cook, and eat monstrous  reconfigurations of food we’re familiar with, all this set to a increasingly dramatic soundtrack.  

Each episode most certainly results in the death of at least two animals.  Each meal will top out in the tens of thousands of calories and frequently features heroic quantities of bacon and booze.  Four Loko classic and Jack Daniels make frequent appearances.

Think you are a real fan of your team? Only real fans carve pumpkins showing their devotion!

Its a problem that plagues me every year. What do you carve into your pumpkin? Do you go for the standard triangle eyes and scary mouth or do you opt for the always-funny "pumpkin throwing up"?

My go-to for several years is a sports themed pumpkin especially since it was started in 2007 when a Boston pumpkin was carved for me, only to have the Sox go on a win a ring that year. Doesn't matter it hasn't happened since, I only needed it to happen once to make me do it for the rest of my life.

To help you in your inspiration for pumpkin carving this weekend we assembled collections from all the major sports, NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL.

Even though we all know "drinking at a college game is strictly forbidden" and you're not allowed to bring in outside beverages to a NFL game, those rules only apply to the weak minded who haven't cleverly thought of a way to sneak in your drink of choice.

So how can you sneak your tasty beverages into a football stadium without getting caught? Sure there are always the standard metal flasks to hide on your body but what other creative ways can you sneak your booze in? Read on to find out how...

What better way to store liquor than in a place security can't touch?! Plus if you're a woman, your boobs will be inflated enough to attract a guy and by the time your done drinking with him, he won't care that they have shrunk 2 cup sizes by the game's end.
