Is Norm Chad Whipped?

I love Norm Chad. I think he's one of the most entertaining sportswriters in the world. However, based on his latest column - I do have to wonder if the couch slouch is now a whipped man.

In his latest column Chad announces that A: he has gotten married for the third time and B: he's not capable of choosing what beer to drink on his own. Yikes! Let's look at these things in reverse order.

Choosing one's taste in beer is like choosing one's taste in music. What kind of person would ask, "what type of music should I listen to?" I can see someone already comfortable in their music tastes asking about finding new sounds but having someone tell someone else "OK - you are now a Springsteen fan" or "you are now a reggae fan" is just weird. Norm Chad - you are now a Heineken Light fan. Seems just as strange - doesn't it?

The good news for Norm's new bride is that if he's gone this soft on a core part of his bachelorhood (his choice of beer) - then he's finally ready for a wife to tell him what to do (the bedrock of any successful marriage). Here's hoping that Chad's newfound marital bliss at least leads to him not making any more dumb divorce jokes in the World Series of Poker broadcasts.

Norm - either pick your own beer or just get used to drinking the beer your new wife likes.

On a side note - I too stopped drinking Rolling Rock once they moved the brewery out of Latrobe.
