I just really wanted to flag someone. Won’t do it again.

it was good. The gray box added some flare

that’s one theory…

1) Always cheap, but not worth even that.

Your most-free-beer-sucketh observation is the extreme form of this.

Examples of “Always cheap, but not worth even that”: Most top-selling corporate beers.

2) Sometimes cheap, sometimes not cheap; worth it only when cheap.

Funny, but beer that’s worth it only when cheap is occasionally expensive.
There’s no real examples of “Always cheap and worth it when cheap”, with the possible exception of PBR.
(In fact, PBR is the one beer that kinda misses these four categories; goodness knows it IS “always cheap.”)
Conversely, some stuff in Category 2 might be worth it when expensive, if only it were never cheap;
that is, the fact that they’re sometimes available cheap makes them hard to buy at more than $4.50 a pint.

Examples of “Sometimes cheap, sometimes not cheap; worth it only when cheap”:
Anything not in Category 1 that’s available at the Marathon Taverna on West Burnside & 18th.
Most Deschutes, Laurelwood and Bridgeport offerings are in this class, particularly the sub-class of
“Might be worth it expensive if it weren’t occasionally cheap.”

3) Always expensive, but never worth it.

These are beers that would be worth it if they were occasionally cheap.
In other words, beer that should be in Category 2, but has some weird undeserved reputation for being superior.

The prime example of “Always expensive, but never worth it”: Guinness. Also, Stella Artois.

4) Always expensive, always worth it.

This is why Oregon is the best: Tons of Category 4 beer.

Examples of “Always expensive, always worth it”: Anything and everything at the Horse Brass, on Belmont & 45th.
The entire portfolio of Rogue (except for Dead Guy Ale, which is thankfully Category 2 instead of 3),
Hair Of The Dog, Caldera, and Terminal Gravity breweries, plus pretty much all the winter beers in Oregon.

I do see some similarities between the two, mainly in the brattiness/grit department. Ainge wasn’t as athletic or quite as quick as Bayless; Ainge might’ve been a better outside shooter: we’ll see. Certainly, Ainge was a very smart player who knew how to maximize his effectiveness on the court both physically and psychologically. It remains to be seen if Bayless has that dimension to his game.

Whatever—I do like the guy, T. rex arms and all.

First impression last year brought visions of Bobby Sura in my head (must be becasue he was playing off guard).

But now that you mention it (again), I think you’re on to something with the similarities to a Danny Boy. For sure on looks. A regular Richie Cunningham too. Ehhhhh!

Just as long as doesn’t go off and bite anybody (Tree Rollins wasn’t it? Ankle or finger can’t quite recall)
