NFL Draft Drinking Game

Welcome, readers, to your weekly dose of a female staffer pretending she knows anything about sports or physical activity of any kind! In this weeks episode: FOOTBALL! The sport I could have sworn ended like, a month ago is apparently back in full swing, with something called a “draft,” which I thought was a handwritten essay from 10th grade.

The hilarious writers over at The Asylum have come up with a drinking game to commemorate the new draft broadcast system. The draft starts airing tonight at 7:30 PM on the only channel men care about: ESPN.

Here are the rules for the NFL Draft Drinking Game:

Drink once:

  1. each time Mel Kiper Jr. says one of his trademark phrases: “value pick,” “need pick,” “best available” and “that’s a reach.”
  2. every time Kiper’s hair is referenced by another ESPN analyst.
  3. every time an ESPN personality compliments a player’s suit.
  4. each time one of the following is mentioned: Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Matt Millen, Akili Smith, Ki-Jana Carter, Brian Bosworth, Tim Couch.
  5. each time an analyst uses one of the following buzzwords or phrases to describe a player: “he’s raw”,”intangibles”,”body control”,”physical tackler”,”battle-tested”,”proven winner”,”arm length”,”gets stuck on blocks”,”release point”,”game speed”, or “low center of gravity”
  6. every time Kiper and Todd McShay interrupt one another (this could get dangerous).
