Amid all the trash talk heading into the AFC Championship Game, a liquor company is the latest party to get involved.

Sons of Liberty Spirits Co., based out of South Kingston, R.I., went to great lengths to troll Peyton Manning and his wife, Ashley.

Tom Brady Has More TD Passes In Denver This Season Than Peyton Manning

The liquor enterprise riffed off of Manning"s HGH allegations and sent a care package addressed to his wife. The box included a bottle of whiskey as well as a letter saying he can enjoy it on Super Bowl Sunday, while also providing an unnecessary explanation as to why it was addressed to the quarterback"s wife.

An Aljazeera America report last month alleged that Ashley Manning had HGH shipped to the couple"s home under her name, with the insinuation being that the 14-time Pro Bowler was secretly doping. The accusations angered Manning and he vehemently denied the report, which had some questionable sources tied to it.

"Also, sorry for addressing the package to your wife," the letter reads, "we heard that"s the best way to get something to you."

The letter also insinuated that Manning can enjoy the whiskey on Feb. 7, as he"ll be watching the Super Bowl from home after Sunday"s AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

This is the latest salvo in the pre-game trash talk leading up to Sunday"s game. Broncos defensive linemen Antonio Smith and Malik Jackson called out Tom Brady for being a crybaby and begging officials for flags whenever he"s***t.

Not to be out done, Rob Gronkowski fired back at Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. after he said he planned to hit the tight end low as a way to stop him.

The four-time Pro Bowler responded with a tweet that could be read as a double entendre, where he implied the whole Denver team is "good at giving low blows."

Things have escalated so far that a liquor company is now involved in the fun.

Still, if Patriots fans want to attack another team, accusing them of cheating is the last place they should resort to. Lest anyone forget SpyGate and DeflateGate.

Key Matchup: Steelers RT Marcus Gilbert vs. Broncos OLB Von Miller

Von Miller explains his NSFW sack dance on "The Manning Hour"

To get ready for the high altitude and rarefied air in Denver, Steelers right tackle Marcus Gilbert wears an elevation mask when he trains and sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber at night.

The mask creates breathing resistance and simulates low oxygen at high altitudes. The chamber increases air pressure three times higher than the normal level and allows a person to gather more oxygen in his or her lungs.

To get ready for outside linebacker Von Miller, maybe all he should do is go watch game film from the most recent meeting with the Broncos.

Now that was some rarified air.

"I noticed it in warmups, man," Gilbert said, referring to his first game in Denver after the 2011 season, which also happened to be the previous time the Steelers played a postseason game in the Mile High City. "I said this is the real deal. Now that I know that, I can come in better prepared. I wasn"t game-ready against that type of climate, so I have to do a better job this time. I feel I"m a smarter player, especially with taking care of my body to get myself prepared to go to the stadium."

It"s not like he wasn"t prepared last month when the Broncos came to Heinz Field.

Miller came into the game with at least one sack in each of his previous five games, the longest current streak in the league. It was his fifth time since entering the league in 2011 he had a five-game sack streak.

But when he left Heinz Field, Miller not only had his sack streak ended by Gilbert, he did not have a tackle, not even an assist. Gilbert has done that all season. He has allowed only one sack all year -- to Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap Dec. 13 in Cincinnati.

"I"m sure it"s going to be a lot different," Gilbert said. "Between him and Carlos, they"re probably the best two [pass rushers] I"ve faced since I"ve been in the league."

Gilbert"s task today is among the difficult, and most important, facing the Steelers.

He has to stop Miller, a four-time Pro Bowler who was second among outside linebacker with 11 sacks in the regular season -- the fourth time in five seasons he has reached double-digit sacks. And he has to protect the right side of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, in particular his separated right shoulder, from enduring any more pain or discomfort.

"That"s the key every week -- to protect him," Gilbert said. "A lot"s at stake. We"ve just got to do a better job of protecting him."

Roethlisberger was sacked three times last week against the Bengals, the most damaging coming on the final play of the third quarter when linebacker Vontaze Burfict landed on his right shoulder. But the Broncos, who led the league with 52 sacks, could bring more pressure, especially off the edge with Miller and nine-time Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware.

That"s where Gilbert comes in.

"You"ve got to slow him down in the run and pass game," Gilbert said of Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 draft. "He"s very underrated in the run game. He can get off blocks. He"s the type of dude that can apply pressure on the quarterback and make the quarterback make quicker decisions. His stats don"t reflect his work or play. He"s been getting after the quarterback with a lot of pressure all year and having them make bad decisions with the ball."

Macklemore Tries To Call Out Miley Cyrus For "White Privilege" After Exploiting Gay And Hip Hop Community

Macklemore White Privilege II - Social Justice Warrior & Black Lives Matter Propaganda Exposed!

Macklemores 2013 gay rights anthem Same Love didnt hit the heart of the LGBT community. Instead, it stabbed the hearts of a community that has been trying to work for decades to overcome discrimination. The LGBT community was thrown an exploitative, money-making insult by an act who probably never cared about the rights of the LGBT community.

In August of 2013, DeathandTaxes published an article out about why the song was so controversial and it had nothing to do with conservatives being angry.

In the wake of Macklemores win at the Video Music Awards, openly-gay New York City rapper Le1F took to Twitter to unleash a string of rather hefty accusations at the emcee, implying that Macklemore used his song Same Love to try and make money off of the same-s*x controversy.

As Grammy time came around in early 2014, the controversy continued. Gay Twitter lambasted Macklemore for his gay rights effort.

@macklemore is the @vanillaice of today. Any idiot with a producer, a pop song formula, and a hot topic like gay rights can go platinum.

Perspective (@333biz) January 27, 2014

Macklemore is the worst for his gay and black culture appropriation.

Tone Thugs (@toni_latigra) January 27, 2014

Same Love is one of the most condescending songs to ever hit the airwaves. We have a straight white boy telling the gay community how he thought he was gay, because he could draw, and that he couldnt be gay because he is good at little league.

Then, Macklemore did something unforgivable well, at least to older gay men. He used Madonna, a woman who fought for gay rights in the 1980s and 1990s when the LGBT community was treated less than kindly, in his performance of the song at the 2014 Grammy Awards. It is known as one of her worst performances to date and, unfortunately, made people think Madonna was also exploiting the gay community without understanding her history with the gay community.

Madonna survived, but thats hard to say about Macklemore, who has became a joke ever since he won his Grammy Awards that year. Many thought Kendrick Lamar deserved the Grammys instead. Macklemore has been accused of exploiting the Hip Hop community even before the 2014 Grammy Awards, which produced a massive backlash.

The LGBT community has been dealt with so many blows over the years. In 2013, they had to deal with Macklemore. [Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images]Macklemore has a new album coming out on February 26 called This Unruly Mess Ive Made. Perhaps, since his popularity has decreased, he has released a new song called White Privilege II, which hypocritically blames Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea for cultural appropriation. Macklemore thinks that bashing other artists will help his cause. He is wrong, especially since Miley Cyrus is a legitimate member of the LGBT community and has done something with her power and privilege.

Spencer Kornhaber of the Atlantic says while Macklemore bashing Miley Cyrus and others in his new song may mean well, but its also insufferable.

The fact that his lyrics are so basic, forgoing metaphor or ambiguity or impressionism, certainly accounts for a big part of his wide appeal. But it also accounts for why many other listeners (ahem) feel pandered to, exhausted by, and/or vaguely embarrassed by his songs.

Kornhaber adds the narrative that Macklemore is trying to convey is more like an op-ed that tells you what exactly to think. Instead, the songs narrative should require more interpretation to help it stick in our minds. In any case, Macklemore has been fried on Twitter and it not only by Miley Cyrus fans.

Macklemore has got to be the worst. This guy does so much pandering to stay relevant. Awful. Just go into politics with your fake activism.

Josh Caudill (@JoshuaCaudill85) January 22, 2016

Macklemore has yet to respond to the backlash against his song and Miley Cyrus has yet to respond to being part of the song. Based on Macklemores past, h**l probably say that people dont like the song because they are racist, not because its actually a terrible song.

The Week in Movies: "Ip Man 3," "The Boy and the World," and "Censored Voices"

The Boy Trailer REACTION!!!

The January movie doldrums hit Portland hard this week. Without any late-opening award contenders on the slate, multiplex audiences are left to choose between what look to be a middling young-adult alien invasion saga ("The Fifth Wave"), a warmed-over creepy-doll chiller ("The Boy"), and perhaps the most egregious stain yet on the career of Robert DeNiro ("Dirty Grandpa").

In a perfect world, Portland"s art house theaters would offer scintillating alternatives to this mediocrity, but that"s not quite the case.

The Chinese martial arts master Ip Man was, until a few years ago, best known to Westerners as the guy who taught Bruce Lee his stuff. These days, he"s become immortalized as a mythic hero in his own right, thanks to a series of cinematic portrayals, including Wong Kar-Wai"s elegiac, stunningly photographed 2013 movie "The Grandmaster." That, though, was but one of a rash of Ip Man films to emerge in the wake of 2008"s "Ip Man," which starred Hong Kong action hero Donnie Yen and took substantial liberties with Ip"s life story.

The movie was a box-office success, though, and Yen reprised the role in 2010"s "Ip Man 2" and now in "Ip Man 3." Like its predecessors, it"s a decent, relatively generic martial arts flick, with some added poignancy due to both the 52-year-old Yen"s encroaching retirement from action films and a subplot involving the terminal illness of Ip"s wife. Otherwise, it"s all about the fight scenes, and they"re entertaining enough, especially one against a villain played by none other than Mike Tyson. Genre fans won"t be disappointed, but "Ip Man 3" won"t have much crossover appeal. (Grade: B-, opens at Regal Fox Tower on Friday, Jan. 22)

The arrival of a new animated feature from distributors GKids is usually a good thing. The company has enabled international treasures including "Song of the Sea," "Ernest and Celestine," and "Tales of the Night" to reach American audiences over the last few years. Itslatest release is the Oscar-nominated Brazilian film "Boy and the World."While it"s definitely an example of adventurous, artistic animation, it doesn"t reach the heights of those other titles. Without using any intelligible dialogue, it tells the story of a young boy living in the impoverished countryside whose father moves to the city in search of work. The boy follows after him, and has a series of encounters that expose him to the woes of the modern world: urbanization, economic exploitation, environmental degradation, etc.

Director Al Abreu uses a unique visual style that combines childlike, almost stick-figure people with an increasingly frenzied decoupage to represent the overstimulated world he"s swallowed up in. It"s rather like a very talented grade-schooler"s refrigerator-door drawings come to expressive life. Unfortunately, the simplistic moral message of the movie and its insistence on remaining nonverbal make "Boy and the World" feel like something that would have been more tolerable as a 15-minute short than as an 80-minute feature. (Grade: C+, opens at Regal Fox Tower on Friday, Jan. 22)

In the years and decades following World War II, American veterans rarely spoke about the horrors they saw and endured, and American culture rarely delved into the darker side of the combat experience. A similar hesitance seems to have occurred in Israel following the triumph of the Six Day"s War in 1967, one thatthe documentary "Censored Voices" aims to belatedly overcome. In the wake of Israel"s surprising and unequivocal defeat of Egypt and Jordan, Israeli author and intellectual Amos Oz, whose first novel had been published just the year before, interviewed a number of Israeli soldiers.

Over 70% of those interviews were censored by the government at the time, but now they have been incorporated, along with fascinating archival footage, into this testament. The nationalist triumphalism of the day is barely evident as young men talk about the violence they committed and endured, including some instances of what would certainly be classified as war crimes. "Censored Voices" demonstrates that no matter how existential the threat, or how just the cause, war inevitably leaves scars on the victors as well as the vanquished. (Grade: B, opens at the Living Room Theaters on Friday, Jan. 22)

It"s also worth noting that the Northwest Film Center"s two ongoing series continue this weekend. The Reel Music programs on tap include a live musical accompaniment for the groundbreaking 1929 Soviet silent film "The Man with a Movie Camera" as well as documentaries on the 1980"s hard-rock band Twisted Sister, reggae pioneer Lee "Scratch" Perry, and bass legend Jaco Pastorius. Meanwhile, the Film Center"s Bollywood retrospective hits the 1970s with the genre-mashing, crowd-pleasing, cops-vs-bandits flick "Sholay." Check www.nwfilm.org for a full schedule.
