Draft Craft

JP & Dan come back with the Defensive side of the ball, tracking how good (or bad!) they've been at predicting career success for players from the 2023 Draft. Let's just say they're above the 50% mark? and there's some SERIOUS debates around who's trying harder to retcon the past to make themselves look better.

JP blasts off the first of what could be many Space Camper varieties from Boulevard Brewing. This is the "Fundamental Evil" Imperial IPA version. It's good. Get you some.

Dan has his first "Thiolized Pilsner" as the boys learn more about the technical bits of brewing. The NZ Pilsner from Batch Brewing Co in Corktown inside Detroit goes by the name of "Cuzzy" and for a Pilsner, he's pretty pleased!

(48:29)-Cornerbacks

(1:00:04)-Safeties

JP & Dan take one last look back at how things have changed since the 2023 NFL draft. The boys have often wondered how well they do at predicting players' success as they make the move to the sport's top level. That's right, these guys don't just talk about how right they are. And boy were they wrong on some of these guys three years later!

(16:40)-Running Backs

(28:59)-Wide Receivers

(40:30)-Beverage Break

JP has a banger from Three Floyds, the Black Colossus! It's a Barrel-aged Imperial Stout with Pasilla & Anc-ho Peppers, Vanilla, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Coffee, and Lactose. And the boys learned what Pasilla peppers are!

Dan sticks to the hazy world with City Built's Elegant Elephant, a Double Dry hopped Double Hazy IPA that packs in a variety of different hop strands. Both beers are worth a try if you can find them! Dan also goes over his Tennessee beers from a weekend event in Nashville

(59:27)-Interior Offensive Line

Dan & JP are taking a detour into the video game world, talking about their favorite/best six pack of football games that have come out through the years. How many of you remember Super High Impact? John Elway's Quarterback? 10 Yard Fight?! Ok, at least Tecmo Super Bowl and Madden right?

(41:10)-Beverage Break

JP sips a nitro barrel aged Boulevard beer they're calling a cow tipper, with a creaminess and maltiness that gives way for the irish barrel flavor

Dan keeps it light with the Mothfire Luna Daze Lucid Cloud DDH IPA. Get you to Ann Arbor and have a sip!

(46:55)-Six things we like, don't like and would add to football video games

JP & Dan got together in his basement over the weekend and did some thinking drinking. What if the boys could shuffle the teams in the NFL's 8 divisions into something that might make more sense? And what if they drank some heavy hitting top shelf bourbon while doing it?!

JP & Dan wrap up Summer School with the final three conferences from the group of six. The boys were torn between blowing through the teams and giving each the time they deserve...which is why they went almost 90 minutes diving into names you probably haven't heard of before. Take notes!

They throw in UConn & Notre Dame as well to round it out with the independents.
