Craft Brewed Sports
Are you looking for in-depth sports talk, complete with analytics, stats, and breakdowns of strategies so you can better understand the game?
This show isn’t for you!
But if you want to see three guys get boozed up and talk trash to each other while touching on the big sports stories from the week, we’ve got you covered.
Craft beer fans and sports radio personalities tend to have one thing in common - they take themselves very seriously.
But we don’t.
Each week Scott, Drew, and Mike bring a new live show, with fun segments that bring the lighthearted side of sports to the forefront. And as the beers flow, the takes get crazier and more outlandish.

What a crappy football weekend, and somehow, it got even dumber.
We kick things off with a broken chat, questionable beverage choices, and a very serious Sip, Chug, Drainpour debate featuring Mountain Dew Code Red, Baja Blast, and the OG. Then things spiral fast.
Mike Vrabel is officially one win away from having to honor the most reckless podcast promise of all time, which leads us to an honest discussion about which teams we’d be willing to chop it off for. From there, we break down Sam Darnold making history in multiple ridiculous ways: the first USC QB to start a Super Bowl, the first QB from the 2018 draft class to get there, and yes, the first ginga QB to do it. We also uncover possibly the greatest NFL fun fact ever involving Darnold’s grandpa, Dick Hammer.
We recap an incredibly annoying AFC and NFC Championship weekend, talk Robert Kraft’s chance to one-up Belichick, and explain why Bill Belichick should not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Then we officially declare the Pro Bowl dead, with Shadeur Sanders as the final nail in the coffin.
Plus:• Team USA Skeleton drama at the Olympics• Sip, Chug, Drainpour on recent NFL coaching hires• The College Football Playoff staying at 12 teams with carve-outs for the P4 and Notre Dame• NCAA uniform patches and who’s absolutely selling their soul first• MLB The Show pulling a dumb fake-out before giving Aaron Judge the cover• A Clippers fan forced to eat his own tweet• The completely unhinged Charles Bediako Alabama / G League situation• And a bettor sentenced to a full month of Wendy’s chili after doubting Scottie Scheffler
This was, in fact, a show.

Indiana wins the National Championship and Curt Cignetti officially turns the college football world upside down. We break down how aggressive coaching, questionable officiating, and a perfect storm led to the Hoosiers’ title — and what it means for the Big Ten, the SEC, and every other coach trying to keep up.
From Cignetti’s psychotic Chipotle routine to Carson Beck openly admitting he’s not at Miami to play school, this show covers the absurd, the important, and the stuff only college football could produce.
Plus:• Is Indiana now a football school?• Has the Big Ten finally killed the SEC dominance narrative?• CFP expansion drama and the inevitable march toward a super league• Way too early college football rankings• Transfer portal chaos and its ripple effects• NFL Divisional Round: one bad game and one great game each day, as promised• Coaching fallout, bad QB play, and OT regret• Bo Nix breaking his ankle and playoff availability debates• Miami (OH) still undefeated and still disrespected• A little soccer, a little Olympic chaos, and way too much AI distraction
Sports chaos, bad decisions, beer, and vibes. That’s the show.

George Kittle tears his Achilles and responds by pounding tequila sent from the 49ers owner’s suite. The Bills start auctioning off pieces of Highmark Stadium, including the legendary bathroom troughs. And the Orioles announce a Tupac bobblehead because MLB marketing has zero fear.
We break down the 49ers injury conspiracy involving an electrical substation, relive the best moments from Wild Card Weekend, and somehow spend way too much time debating trough etiquette, girth math, and whether “hog” is the correct term.
Also on the show:• Mike Tomlin out in Pittsburgh and what that job opening means• Calvin Johnson admitting he got high before games late in his career• Missouri trying to replace the Chiefs with the Battlehawks• Indiana transfer Nick Marsh getting caught with FanDuel on his phone• Florida State’s ACC power move leading to Miami cashing a massive check• A UAB player entering the transfer portal while facing attempted murder charges• Cincinnati fans planning a brown paper bag night• Brooks Koepka welcomed back to the PGA while Phil Mickelson gets petty-snubbed

We start the show the only way we know how: talking about the sports weekend, rookie wide receivers who immediately become That Guy, and what everyone’s drinking, plus a quick reminder that Mike DeWine still sucks.
Comedian Alex Schubert hangs out and delivers a truly unhinged breakdown of where every NFL quarterback would’ve been on January 6 (yes, it comes back twice). We bounce around from super high-ABV beers to the Columbus Crew coach being an absolute zaddy before diving into real football chaos.
The Colts pull off back-to-back fake punts, the Jets somehow finish an entire season without recording a single interception, and Zac Taylor becomes the main character for all the wrong reasons: getting booed, kept by the Bengals, and ultimately winning MF’er of the Week for complaining after Myles Garrett’s sack celebration.
We debate whether Garrett’s sack record actually counts in a 17-game season, argue about the most unbreakable records in sports, and spiral into fantasy football hell, including a punishment that requires eating 71 hot dogs, plus a league where everyone gets punished just for existing.
We wrap with College Football Playoff chaos (we’re all in on Indiana), why bye teams are getting cooked, and the A’s Vegas move hitting a wall after their trademark gets rejected.
It’s long. It’s dumb. It’s exactly what this show is.

The Jets managed to turn a $100,000 field goal giveaway into a full-blown PR embarrassment, NFL quarterbacks gave their offensive lines some of the weirdest Christmas gifts imaginable, and we close the year by running through the absolute best (and dumbest) sports stories of 2025.
Along the way, things get off the rails in very predictable Craft Brewed Sports fashion.

Johnny Manziel couldn’t make it to GameDay, but he did make it to Miami. The Dodgers are spending like there’s no cap, DraftKings had to eat a brutal betting glitch, and the Chiefs are moving from Kansas City to…Kansas City.
Comedian Matt Stanton joins the show for a full breakdown of NFL teams in a White Elephant gift exchange, plus Sip/Chug/Drainpour chaos, domes vs open-air stadiums, DK Metcalf vs a fan, USC backing out of playing Notre Dame, and why MLB owners are cheap billionaires hiding behind “competitive balance.”

Mike’s out, so naturally Mookie immediately starts messing with the background, and somehow that becomes a recurring issue all night.
We kick things off with beer intros before diving headfirst into the Joe Burrow discourse. Is he hinting at retirement, or is he just completely done with Cincinnati? Fans don’t seem especially sympathetic, especially when the Bengals once again look like one of the most dysfunctional franchises in the league, capped off by violating NFL policy and forcing fans to shovel snow out of their own seats before getting shut out by Baltimore.
Things spiral from there.
Patrick Mahomes blows out his knee, the Tom Brady comparisons come fast, and we try to figure out where the Chiefs go from here, including which NFC team Mahomes might randomly win a Super Bowl with a decade from now. With Mahomes, Burrow, and likely Lamar Jackson out of the picture, we ask the uncomfortable question: is this finally Josh Allen’s year?
Somewhere in the middle of all that, Phillip Rivers comes out of retirement, looks terrible throwing the football, still scores a touchdown, and somehow drags us into a full Hall of Fame debate, complete with conspiracy theories, Colin Kaepernick questions, and a Sip/Chug/Drainpour breakdown of why Rivers actually came back (insurance money, resume padding, or escaping his kids).
We also get into the Bills releasing Blizzard Brew, a beer literally made from snow at Highmark Stadium, LaKeith Stanfield being cast as Dennis Rodman in a Vegas disappearance movie, and a minor league hockey team fully committing to chaos with a “Birds Aren’t Real” rebrand.
There are…a lot of CFB26 clips. Too many, honestly.

Another week, another round of College Football chaos, and Notre Dame is at the center of all of it. We dig into why the Irish bailed on bowl season, why the committee bent over backwards for Alabama and the ACC, and how James Madison crashing the party might actually fix the Playoff moving forward.
Marcus Freeman gets the MTV Cribs treatment, Duke gets blamed for basically everything, and we take a hard look at what happens if Notre Dame finally snaps and walks away from the ACC.
Plus: Oregon losing its shine, one of the wildest postgame interviews of the year, LeBron conspiracy theories, Xavier sweeping the Crosstown Shootout, MLB insanity with the Dodgers, Reds missing on Schwarber, and the growing Saudi shadow over baseball. We even close with private equity invading Utah athletics, the AP Poll telling on itself, and a FIFA “Peace Prize” that looks like it was handed out in homeroom.

Lane Kiffin officially bailed on Ole Miss for LSU, and the villain era is fully back. Tonight we run through every piece of chaos: the podcaster line that set Kiffin off, the Jerry Maguire “who’s coming with me?” moment with his staff, fans booing him at the airport, and all the tea Ole Miss fans are suddenly spilling: dog rumors, yoga class stories, disappearing messages, the whole mess.
Plus: Mike torches the Notre Dame/Miami “who deserves it more” debate, the ACC’s ridiculous lobbying, the playoff criteria should get even weirder, and why this whole thing might finally force Notre Dame into a conference.
We hit Wiseguy’s Top 10 for Week 14, Eagles fans egging their OC’s house, the Wieners Circle hot dog stunt after Ben Johnson went shirtless, Shelby Harris calling Jauan Jennings a ho, and Tyrese Maxey doing the Dog Show while Peterman refuses to go away.

A packed Thanksgiving-week show that went completely off the rails in the best way possible. We kick things off with festive backgrounds, beers in hand, and the usual chaos before diving into Ohio high school athletes officially being allowed to cash in on NIL money.
From there, it’s Brinner talk, Tulane highlights (way too many of them), and the insane story out of UAB where a player was charged with attempted murder after stabbing two teammates. We wander into a Zaxby’s tangent, break down Rice bribing students with free beer, and dig into LSU reportedly dangling $90 million and a massive NIL budget at Lane Kiffin.
We touch on the Michigan–Big Ten mess, then question why Kevin Stefanski punted from the Raiders’ 29-yard line like he was trying to protect the under. Ohio governor Mike DeWine regrets legalizing sports betting, Colorado looks rough, and the NFL Hall of Fame semifinalists are out.
Then Jay Paterno jumps into the Speakeasy and we get into everything: James Franklin getting canned, where Penn State actually ranks as a job, how NIL changed the sport, the transfer portal chaos, whether collective bargaining is coming, how we got here with paying players, and how much coaches’ salaries warped the whole system. Jay talks coaching vs writing, which teams he couldn’t stand, whether politics is actually worse, and runs through the Quick Hitters before wrapping up the interview.
We close with ScottSki45’s stat of the week on Griffey Jr. and Stan Musial, the upcoming Stuart Scott 30 for 30, Shohei committing to Japan for the WBC, beer recaps, and Sip/Chug/Drainpour with Thanksgiving traditions.
