Getting Drunk With The Draft And Simmons
As we watch Chad Ford do his absolute best Bill Simmons impression while mock-drafting with the Sports Fella — "Taking Oden is like marrying the girl you don't want to date, but the girl you want to spend the rest of your life with!" — we look forward to tomorrow night's NBA Draft. (Which will be live-blogged here by the great Bethlehem Shoals of Free Darko.)
For years, everyone's been talking about definitive NBA Draft drinking games, including Simmons himself. Today, Ballhype eliminates the middle man and just creates the Bill Simmons Draft Diary Drinking Game.
The Sports Guy references Curtis Borchardt, Chris Mihm, Chris Kaman, and/or Raef Lafrentz when Spencer Hawes gets picked. Take a drink. The Sports Guy's dog Dooze does something hilarious which presciently foretells some draft prospect's future. Take a drink. The Sports Guy ridicules ESPN's choice of "unhip" on-air music while toggling through songs by The Killers and The Bravery in his iTunes library. Take two sips.
Seriously, when you combine this with the actual NBA Draft Drinking Game, there's really no need to be sober for the next week.
