Here it is, folks. The inaugural Binge Football League is now in session, and what better way to kick things off than bringing you an all-new edition of the Binge SportsCast. Join me as I bring you an NFL preview disguised as the fantasy football draft for the BFL. Not only does Tom Brady’s publicist, Episode IV Jack Falvey, join me, but for the first time in Binge SportsCast history, I also welcome a few of my listeners to the program to join us for the live draft. Art Murillo, Chad Forsythe, and legendary hypeman Denny Luis join Jack and I as we make our picks, break down the NFL, and discuss some important topics like the difference in rooting for your fantasy team versus the actual team you root for. And let me tell you, shit gets real.
Before you listen to the show, let me break down how things will go for the BFL this season. If you listened to my previous show, or follow @BingeSports and @THElukenorris on Twitter, you know that after getting a few guys on the staff to join, I opened this league up to my listeners, and they responded very quickly to get this thing filled up. Hell, I even had to take it from 10 to 12 teams and there were still people who wanted in, but we just couldn’t add anybody else. After listening to the show, come right back here to check out the rosters for each team and make your pick at the bottom of the page on which team you think will win the inaugural season of the BFL. Every week, I’ll be bringing you that week’s matchups, the updated standings, and perhaps the best smack talk of the week. And if you could have seen the board while we were drafting, believe me, you’ll want to see more. So take a listen to this ground-breaking edition of the Binge SportsCast and keep coming back every single week to check in on the BFL. Also debuting this week is the Binge Sports Pick ‘Em Contest, where you have the chance to win new Binge Media merchandise, which I will personally buy for you.

Enjoy the show, and don’t forget to come back to check out the rosters and cast your votes for the Week 1 matchups and the team you think will take it all in the inaugural BFL season.
