I am a co-founder and the editor of drinkfive.com. In order to stave off fantasy football insanity, Dave and I have branched out to cover a variety of interests. When I'm not knee deep in wikipedia pages, I like to hang out at breweries or a disc golf course (especially both in the same day). FSWA Member for 5+ years.
7/08/14, What's a Tinga, Using ADP, Missing Bagels
Tonight we enjoyed a couple of Two Brothers bombers that I picked up from their Roundhouse Brewpub/Cafe/Bar/Outdoor Beer Garden/All Around Cool Place. I was able to snag an Irritated Koala, a smoked tea black IPA and a Hop Centric Black, a Black Double IPA. The Hop Centric Black packs a punch at 9.9% abv.
This week we broke down ADP, how to use it, how to tell who is overrated and how to tell who's underrated. We came to mostly the same conclusions as the numbers, and we'll continue to look at this throughout the year.
Bagel jokes aside, we talked about episode two of "The Leftovers", with a perplexing title which we never really got to. Be sure to check out Dave's article about this week's episode here. We also discussed a few other shows going on or coming up soon, but we'll stick with "The Leftovers" for a while longer.

7/01/14, Our Second Foss, Leftover Camping Beers, and I Have Nothing To Apologize About For Jay Cutler
Leftover camping beers for everyone! Tonight our buddy Vince Foss, of the Hanover Park Fosses, joined us. We did another mock draft tonight, and all three of us wound up with very different teams.
We went over a few of the guys that we are keeping our eyes on for the upcoming drafts, but not revealing our best sleepers, just yet. We also discussed which division has the best QB, and while I think the NFC South has a strong argument, I think that it was left undecided.
We broke down the news, then got into our new show, "The Leftovers". We all are intrigued by it and will stick with it for a few more episodes, at the very least. Make sure to take a look at Dave's Review of the first episode, "Pilot". We also took a moment to give a nod to a couple of returning shows, "Drunk History" and "Ray Donovan".

6/24/14, Tight Ends, GRONK SMASH, Graham Score, Cameron Crows
Tonight we enjoyed a few 2XONE's from Southern Tier Brewing and they were excellent. We've gone through the QB's, the RB's and the WR's over the last three weeks, so now it's time for the last two-letter position, the TE's.
As has been our tradition, we came up with our top 10 Tight Ends going in to the 2014 season.
1. Jimmy Graham
2. Julius Thomas
3. GRONK SMASH
4. Vernon Davis
5. Jordan Cameron
6. Jason Witten
7. Greg Olsen
8. Jordan Reed
9. Eric Ebron
10. Martellus Bennett
We wound up talking a lot more about tight ends, about just how damn big they're gettin' these days. We also discussed second year tight ends, which are much slimmer pickings compared to the other positions.
This week, there was no particular TV show we came to the table to break down, but we went over a bunch of shows we've seen recently. Then Dave went down a list of network shows that I think both of us agree that we won't be watching. Maybe next week, we'll talk about some good cable shows, including "The Leftovers", so make sure you watch that one.

6/17/14, 2014 Draft - QB Show, Romo is Hanie, Tyrion's Revenge
It's another happy Tuesday and maybe it's not Tuesday where you are, but that doesn't really matter, let's get to the show. This week we managed to do another mock draft, this time without getting lost. We also enjoyed a Lagunitas Night Time which was delicious and a hefty 8.2% ABV.
Amidst the mock drafting, we ranked the top 10 QB's for 2014. This is based on standard scoring and is really just our thoughts over a 45 minute conversation.
1. Peyton Manning
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Drew Brees
4. Matt Stafford
5. Andrew Luck
6. Cam Newton
7. Matt Ryan
8. Philip Rivers
9. Colin Kaepernick
10. Robert Griffin III
We also discussed the ending of Game of Thrones and how I've learned to stop worrying and love the show. You can check out the review of the episode here. Next week, we're still undecided what to talk about, so it might be the end of Orphan Black, it might be something else, who knows!
