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.

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.

7/29/14, Training Camp, Rookie Report, Poor Gladys
This week we're joined by our rookie expert, Shawn Foss, who provided plenty of insight regarding what to expect from rookies this upcoming season. Also, as is tradition, we enjoyed several great beers. First on the list was the Shoreline Discombobulation Celebration from 2011. Next up was Ruinten from Stone Brewing, my personal favorite of the night. Last of all was the Rhinelander Imperial Jack Double IPA.
Tonight we talked about some of the recent training camp stories, including Ray Rice, guys with new paper, Kyle Rudolph and the upcoming Hall of Fame game. We then picked Shawn's brain for some rookie knowledge. We brought up most of the rookies that have the potential to make an impact on this year and discussed their chances to be on your team this year.
Finally, we talked about HBO's "The Leftovers", which we're now halfway through season 1. I think we all agree that we like this show and will stick with it, but it's still universally seen as one of the most depressing shows going. Make sure to check out Dave's review of the episode here.

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.

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.

6/10/14, 2014 Draft - Potpourri, Let's Talk RB, The Scythe
This week, Dave and I are back to our normal degenerate ways and made a slightly larger bet than normal. This time, we have simply bet "barbecue". The fulfillment of that term will be up to the loser, but our bet is an over/under for Giovani Bernard scoring 211.1 points. Dave has the under and I have the over.
Last week we came up with the WR list, and this week we ranked our top 10 RB's.
1. Purple Jesus (Adrian Peterson)
2. Jamaal Charles
3. LeSean "Shady" McCoy
4. Matt Forte
5. Eddie Lacy
6. Marshawn Lynch
7. LeVeon Bell
8. Arian Foster
9. DeMarco Murray
10. Doug Martin
This week we enjoyed some Stone Go To IPA and Hopalicious from Ale Asylum in Madison. Both are excellent beers, and of course being hop heads, we picked two IPA's. We also enjoyed a little of the Wild Turkey Rye Whiskey, which is, of course, delicious.
Game of Thrones was rather epic this week. The battle at the Wall was everything we expected and more, definitely outshining the Battle of the Blackwater. Make sure to check out my breakdown of the episode, and we've got just one more to go in the season, and then on to something new.
Finally, we got into the fight of the year. The Mountain vs the Red Viper was pretty sweet, and we both agree that they pulled it off flawlessly. Check out my review of the episode here.

6/03/14, 2014 Draft - Burgers, WR Talk, Mountains & Vipers
On this week's show, we start off with a couple of "news" stories, and I use that term loosely since it's the beginning of June. We're mainly hearing about guys showing up to camp a little too round and other guys who are already tweaking and tearing things. We then strove to get a consensus top 10 list of Wide Receivers going in to 2014, and I think we both agree on this list.
1. Calvin Johnson
2. Demaryius Thomas
3. Julio Jones
4. Brandon Marshall
5. Dez Bryant
6. A.J. Green
7. Antonio Brown
8. Randall Cobb
9. Alshon Jeffery
10. Keenan Allen
Somehow we managed to avoid making a bet this week as well, but I have the feeling that next week that will change. We also broke down the second year Wide Receivers that we see has poised to have a breakout year. Stay tuned to the website for an in-depth breakdown of second year guys in the next few weeks.
Finally, we got into the fight of the year. The Mountain vs the Red Viper was pretty sweet, and we both agree that they pulled it off flawlessly. Check out my review of the episode here.
