2013 NFL Draft Drink-a-thon!

 

The Machine's Draft Drink-a-thon!  Are you man enough?

The Machine’s Draft Drink-a-thon! Are you man enough?

Sure, The Machine is busy cramming in late night film studies and making final adjustments to our Big Board, however it’s time to focus a little energy into one of the most important aspects of the Draft: The Drinking!  How can you make the Draft better, you ask in amazement?  By playing The Big Red Sports Machine’s Draft Drink-a-thon.  It’s fun, it’s easy, it’s guaranteed to impress the ladies, and you can play along at home or at your favorite watering hole.  Here are the rules:

1.  Draft catchphrases.  There are certain phrases you only hear during the Draft.  Why?  We don’t know, but we love them.  For this reason alone, we give ESPN the slight lean over the NFL Network for your draft day coverage.  That, and, Kiper.  Duh, winning! 

The following phrases are worth a shot of beer:

  • Raw talent
  • Off-the-field issues
  • Live arm
  • High motor
  • Straight line speed
  • Great Value
  • Upside
  • Best player available
  • Intangibles or Measurables
  • Trade Down
  • War Room
  • New Regime
  • Read-Option
  • Edge Rusher
  • Gets to the Second Level
  • Quick feet
  • Plays in Space

2.  Each of these phrases/vidoes are beer-finishing worthy:

  • Reference to Mel’s hair
  • First player to cry when their name is called
  • Reference to when Tom Brady was drafted (we’ll also accept Brady’s Combine picture)
  • Reference to Aaron Rodgers draft day slide
  • Video of Brady Quinn in the green room
  • Player on-stage photo op with family/entourage of 15+
  • Video of Bill Tobin’s infamous “who the hell is Mel Kiper?” interview during the ’94 Draft

3.  On the Clock Chug.  When your team is on the clock, you have to finish a full beer before the pick is called.

Basically, if it doesn’t look like this than you’re probably doing it wrong…..

That’s it.  Three simple rules to make sure you maximize your Draft Day (weekend) experience. Cheers!

  1. This looks familiar. I think I may have played this once… But for some reason I can’t remember. Everything is a bit fuzzy.
