Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

8/12/14, Preseason News, The West, The Bridge

This week we’re joined for the first time by our buddy and drinkfive writer Matt Cochrane. We enjoyed some leftover Two Brothers beers from this past weekend’s draft. We also featured the music of Frank Zappa tonight, mostly because he’s just a badass.

On to more important things, like football finally being back! We talked about a couple of things that we learned from the first week of preseason games. Yes, it’s very underwhelming, but at least it’s football. The real stuff is coming soon.

We’re now halfway through our attempt to preview every single fantasy relevant player. This week we covered the West divisions. We’ll be doing either the South or East next week, we haven’t decided yet. We also made it to the most recent episode of 'The Leftovers'. Be sure to check out Dave's review here.

8/05/14, We Go North! Chile Verde Saison Country!

This week we're joined by one of our writers, Graham Sell. Graham took care of the 'Extra Point' article last year, breaking down his team each week in our drinkfive league. This year, stay tuned - with our new site design, we can do anything!

Anyways, back to the show. There were no bets, unfortunately, but soon we'll compile all of the offseason bets and start keeping track of them.

We started off with the Hall of Fame Practice breakdown, which really only took a few seconds. Then we decided it'd be a good idea to talk about as many fantasy players as we can for the next couple weeks. First up, the NFC and AFC North. Next week, we'll move on to two more divisions and hopefully we finish every team before the end of August.

We had just a few minutes left, but we were able to get in some talk about the most recent episode of The Leftovers, my personal favorite of the season so far. Be sure to read Dave's review of this episode.

7/15/14, Jimmy Graham Wins, Matt Jamison Loses

On this episode, we go through another mock draft, but this time it was a PPR draft. We fill the time talking about all the good beer we've been drinking lately, but mostly about Dave's awesome chili.

Later on in the show, we talk about Jimmy Graham's new contract and his semi-victory in his arbitration case. Finally, we got into the third episode of HBO's "The Leftovers", check out Dave's review of it here.
