Superbowl Grilling Idea- Moink Balls On The @PKGrills #PK360

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarNortheast BBQ

I pretty much followed the recipe from serious eats Except I added some oregano and garlic powder to the mix.  Also I think the recipe can be improved if you partially cook the bacon before hand and buddy Craig Kimberley suggested using a pork/beef mix instead of straight ground chuck.

These were awesome and I’d do them all over again the same way with either of teh ingredients if that’s all I had on hand.

Mix one lb and a half of  80/20 ground beef, two lightly beaten eggs and 3/4 cups seasoned panko bread crumbs and added oregano and garlic powder.

Roll into 1 inch balls and wrap with a half a strip of bacon securing the bacon with a tooth pick.  next dust with your favorite BBQ Rub.  I used Famous Daves BBQ Rub.

This Is What Certain Boston Sports Radio Show Hosts Don’t Get In Regards To The Tom Brady Hanging Up Situation

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

On what planet do these out of touch radio show hosts think that the greatest quarterback of all time should call in to their shows after they mock him mercilessly all week long?  What is this bananaland?

Tom Brady Hung Up On sports radio host after expressing his displeasure with his daughter being called a “pissant”.

Listening to Mike Felger defend the comment by saying they get paid to push the envelope says it all.

Radio hosts like Felger and Mazz and Alex Reimer can speak disrespectfully about Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

Tom Brady doesn’t have to give them the time of day.

Do you think Tom Brady needs the money that badly that he should have to call in and talk to these douchebags that conjure up conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory like Tom forced Jimmy Garopolo out and that Brady, Belichick and Kraft all hate each other? I’m guessing Tom has plenty of dough.

So if these guys want to antagonize and drive wedges and fabricate conspiracy theories and repeat them over and over until they convince themselves that they bullshit they are selling is fact then screw them.

I hope Brady never speaks to them again. I hope he speaks to their competitors.

Felger- Defending Alex Reimer-

I hope Brady and the Patriots win the Superbowl and he retires the next day.

I hope Belichick gets back to an AFC Championship game without Brady within four years and makes the playoffs next year without him.

It’s the Douchebag Boston Sports Radio Hosts Perogative To Fabricate And Drum Up Controversy. But Then To Act Incredulous When Boston Athletes, Coaches Or Owners Tell Them They’re Not Interested In Speaking With Them Shows Just How Out Of Touch And Pompous Certain Boston Sports Media Have Become.

Tom Brady Hung Up ON Boston Sports Radio Douchebags FINALLY! Thanks @jerrythornton1 For The Story and A Poll.

I’ve been absolutely stumped why Tom Brady even gives any of these complete douchebags the time of day by calling in to their shows. He definitely doesn’t need the money.  Being obsessed with sports I try to listen to local sports radio when I’m driving and inevitably get so frustrated by the way they talk about Tom Brady and Bill Belichick every single time i turn it off within 5 minutes.   I’m dying for decent sports discussion and I literally have no option on the AM or FM dial in my car.   They’re completely classless.  Drum up the most absurd sky is falling ridiculous scenarios and repeat them over and over until they talk each other into believing their crazy hypothesis. There hasn’t been an athlete that has carried himself with more class at the top of their game than Tom Brady.  We’ve been blessed to have him and Belichick…

Malcom Reed has what I consider to be one of the best YouTube channels for all your BBQ needs- HowToBBQRight

Malcom explains everything concisely without pretense and the videos are edited so you can follow along without having to sit through the entire process.  He hits the main points and sends you on your way.  He also happens to sell great BBQ Rubs under the Killer Hogs Brand which you can find here on Amazon  

The BBQ Rub is excellent.  I highly recommend it and may go in for the five lb bag if anyone wants to split it up with me.

This cook was pretty straightforward.  250 degrees.  Ribs cooked offset the coals. Charcoal arranged with the snake method.  Apple chips for smoke.  Foil under the ribs to collect the drippings.  After 3.5, hours wrap in foil with a couple of squirts of BBQ sauce.  Back on the grill…
