the 1989 curse 

the 1989 curse refers to when during the 1989 (SV) era, Taylor Swift was struggling mentally with an eating disorder. at the end of every show, she reportedly felt like she was going to pass out after every show. while this era was still going on (2014-2016), Kim K. called her a snake. on Taylors Instagram, twitter, and any social media platform she had, she was flooded with comments of the snake emoji.

now, during the 1989 (TV) era, during her era's tour in Rio de Janeiro in brazil, one of her fans sadly passed away. she almost passed out during one of her shows as well due to the intense heat in Brazil this past summer. she was crying in her hotel room when she found out some of her fans had died. Taylor was being called a snake again due to her not "giving her fans water" when it was not her fault. the venue refused to give out water to her fans, and when she was on stage, she was scanning the crowd. she called out water to a fan who needed it during her performance of all too well ten-minute version of the red era.

tl;dr both eras were highly successful, but she was criticized and canceled in both of them for things she didn't even mean to happen.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
