5/27/14, 2014 Draft - What a Mockery!

On this week's show, we discussed Andre Ellington's value, Sammy Watkins' Value and how old Tom Brady feels inside. We also ran through an entire mock draft during the show. We discuss our picks, our logic behind them and all the beers Dave brought back from Wisconsin.

This week, surprisingly, we did not place any bets. I know it's tradition, but we've placed plenty this year. We also were without a new Game of Thrones episode this week but we still reminisced about what we've seen so far this season. We also discussed the new AMC show "Halt and Catch Fire" . It looks promising and it's about computers, so basically we're sold. We may return to this show after Game of Thrones is over.

5/13/14, 2014 Draft - I Have a Pork Headache, All the Manziels, Trial by Combat

It's hockey night! Of course I wish that were true, and it's probably Dave's biggest nightmare (the drinkfive Hockey Podcast). As I write this, the Hawks are in OT in Game 6 of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and I've still got the draft on my mind. On tonight's episode, we started diving into the draft with two of the top 3 QB's taken.

We got into the latest episode of Game of Thrones, and got to some legitimate prognostication, as we're firmly entrenched in some material that Dave has never read. We're excited for the rest of the season, check out my review of this week's episode here.

Next week make sure you guys join us because we'll get really far into all the fantasy relevant rookies with our Rookie Expert, Shawn Foss. We get a chance to pick his brain, so make sure you call in or ask questions in the chat room. We'll be back with more beer, more football, and probably more pork.

5/06/14, 2014 Draft - Jadeveon, First of His Name

Welcome back to Studio 265 on the eve of the 2014 NFL Draft. This week we hit on several teams that we haven't gotten to yet this offseason, including the Chargers, Chiefs, Saints and Falcons. We also talked about the Dolphins, but this writer thinks they're fantasy kryptonite and should be avoided like the plague.

We had a few beers, as is tradition. This week, we enjoyed the Gigantic IPA and Ruhstaller Black IPA. Both were delicious and we will likely have them again some time.

No bets were placed on this week's show, but perhaps we'll bet on a round of disc golf again next week for the "honor" of buying next week's beers. We'll also have plenty of reaction from the draft and stay tuned to Shawn Foss joining us soon to break down all the fantasy relevant rookies.

8/19/14, Draft Prep, AFC/NFC South, Memorial Day

This week we lined up four delicious beers and took them down in order of hoppiness. We started with a Two Brother’s Domain DuPage, and then there was the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. After that, perhaps in honor of the Doctor’s return this week, we went all timey-wimey. We had a Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA and finished it off in style with their 120 Minute IPA.

Enough gushing over the beers we got to have during the show, let’s get down to football. We didn’t have a whole lot to discuss regarding Week 2’s preseason games because we wanted to continue with covering all of the fantasy players in the league. This week, we covered the NFC and AFC south and basically anyone who is relevant in that division.

Finally, we touched on the newest episode of “The Leftovers”. The season is really heating up with only 2 episodes left. Make sure you don’t miss any of Dave’s reviews, here’s his latest one.
