TAILGATE JUDGMENT: Let Jon rate your gameday meal between 1 and 10

After a very long absence, TAILGATE JUDGMENT returns. Leave a comment below describing what you had to eat and drink during game day last weekend. Jon will rate it between 1 and 10.

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

For well over a year, all of you have eaten gameday food without purpose, since I, Jon, did not judge it. In fact, it’s possible that you have not eaten any food at all, because all food beyond the realm of my judgment may not, in fact, exist.

Today, I am gracious and magnanimous enough to issue rulings on your food and drink. Here is how it works:

1. You leave a comment below that describes the food and drink you enjoyed, or did not enjoy, during football activities last weekend. You may submit your entry for either last Saturday or last Sunday. Perhaps you were tailgating, perhaps you were at a party, or perhaps you were at home.

2. I review as many comments as time will allow, because I am a tremendously busy and important man. I will issue a rating between 1 and 10 for both your food and your drink, and I will do my best to explain my ruling.

3. This ruling may not please you. I am not out to hurt feelings, but in some cases, I might. In any case, you will accept my ruling as absolute and superseding of any other judicial rulings at the federal, state, and municipal level.

I have decided to hold court on a Friday, so that your successes and failures are fresh in our memories as we head into a weekend of football. Below, you will hear from champions. Learn from them. You will also bear witness to spectacles of grand failure. Learn from those, too.

GO.
