Man Food: Inside-Out Bourbon Burgers

In honor of Summer, we want you to go make the best burger you've ever made on your grill this year. Ray entrusted me to the burgers so I had to show him and his Tequila Meatballs up. So, I channeled my inner Guy Fieri and made my soon to be famous Inside-out Bourbon Burgers (which are completely different from Mike's Bourbon Bleu Burgers). Apparently we put bourbon in all our food here. But, you would too if you had to work with Ray. Now onto the burgers... The Recipe Bro Council Bourbon Burgers Ingredients 2 lbs. of Beef (1 pound of ground chuck and 1 pound of round. The round should be lean, and the chuck at least...

Was There A "Rocky Balboa" G.I. Joe Figure?

The 80's were pretty awesome, and two prime examples of that are Rocky Balboa and GI Joe. Yes, I know Rocky came out in the 70's, but it was huge in the 80's. Except for the 5th movie (the one that doesn't count), and from this day forward we will not mention it again at Bro Council Headquarters. Luckily, Rocky Balboa made up for that horrible excuse for a movie. Now to the exciting part: the above pictures are from an un-released Rocky G.I. Joe figure. Yes, Rocky Balboa almost followed in the footsteps of Sgt. Slaughter and William "The Refrigerator" Perry to become celebrity G.I. Joes. "Almost" is... READ MORE Was There A "Rocky Balboa" G.I.

Food Showdown: Cheesesteaks - Provolone Or Whiz?

A Guys and Girls take on a classic food debate. Provolone cheese or Cheese Whiz on your Philly Cheesesteaks? Ray's Intro: I'm a big fan of beef, cheese, onions, and bread. Put them together and you have an awesome creation. I've had them all over the US, and my favorite place to eat one is at the original, Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia, PA. There is also a competitor called Geno's Steaks across the street, and I was never too into them. The reason being is that they focused on cheese whiz as a topping as opposed to my beloved provolone. That just seemed like it would ruin... READ MORE Food Showdown: Cheesesteaks - Provolone Or Whiz?

The All-Pro United States Presidents Football Team

Recently, we began thinking about the athletic ability of our US Presidents here at Bro Council, and so I took it upon myself to create a full Offense and Defense of United States Presidents. The rules were simple; if I had to build an NFL football team, which Commander-in-Chiefs would best represent my fantasy team. Which president would make the best Quarterback? Who is punishing enough for our defense? Do we have a president who was similar to Ray Lewis? Check out the results of my scouting report below: Offense LT – Chester Arthur, 6'2″ 224 lbs. -No blind side jokes here... READ MORE The All-Pro United States Presidents Football Team

The Time I Almost Had To Beat Up Rob Gronkowski

In the interest of Gronk's rise to the top of the NFL, I've decided to share my own personal memory of the Pats' tight end. Enjoy. Alright, so let me explain that title real quick here. I'm not actually going to come out and say I would have "beat up" Gronk, but stranger things have happened, so for story purposes lets say the outcome would have been debatable. Here is a story about my strange encounter with the NFL's best tight end a few summers ago. I live in the South Side Slopes area of Pittsburgh - pretty much a stones throw away from what most would consider the... READ MORE The Time I Almost Had To Beat Up Rob Gronkowski

A Historical Look At Presidential Beards (And Facial Hair)

It has been a rare sight throughout history to see the President of the United States sporting facial hair. As most of us have witnessed, it's now always a clean shaven face that wins the race. Around the 1960's, beards became extremely popular among the hippie counterculture involving drugs and uncleanliness which made them grow even more unfashionable in the political world. What also effected the outlook on facial hair was Fidel Castro and radicals during the 1960's wearing them which added the stigma of "American hating" to beards. It has even been blamed for some...
