Beer Pong Is Dead, Long Live Beer Pong

When out-of-touch oldies like Rick Reilly are finally getting around to writing about beer pong in ESPN the Magazine, I think it's pretty safe to say that beer pong's days as a cultural force are numbered (if a bunch of frat boys playing with water (WATER!) in a tournament held in a casino in Vegas hadn't killed it already). An alternative death blow can come from appearing in the lifestyle section of the New York Times. (See also: Ugly Sweater Parties).
