I'm healed up! Paigniacs...let me tell you...tooth pain is NO JOKE. Whooooooooooo! But it can't keep me down. The NFL draft is upon us (Caleb to Odunze for the win!)...but before we get there...Mike and I had to discuss our favorite college basketball teams of ALL TIME. My Illini made me proud this year. So, thanks for hanging in there! Cheers!   ..read more

My supermodel ace in the hole Kurtis Allen is back in the dungeon to talk about one of our favorite subjects....ACTION. MOVIES. They are notorious for having some of the GREATEST character names for the heroes, sidekicks, and villains. We dive in and celebrate the greatest submissions put to script.   My last pick has changed my life in the best way ever. It has invaded my lexicon, my livelihood, and my approach to daily activities. Cheers ..read more

The Fantasying! I had a gremlin in the dungeon chewing important wires and things when crazy, so I decided to give you two scoops of fantasy goodness. We continue figuring out ALL the right answers regarding fantasy football next year and, coincidently, all of the Chicago Bears' solutions.  Cheers ..read more

Nah. This isn't a sexy one.  These are the same four blokes you have come to know and love, talking about fantasy football for a sizeable chunk of time.  We recap how we did last year, make some wild predictions, and call each other on our own bs.  I chunked it up into two parts because there are no lawns to mow or driveways to shovel.  You know the score. Cheers!   ..read more

Bobby Sleeves is an official Paigniac!  He always has been one at heart, but the roots are now planted. So, to commemorate the event, we spend way too much time talking about how far things are from each other and how serious yet laughable Champaign "traffic" can truly be...just like our ancestors did before us. THEN we dive into some expert-level selections of the greatest leftover foods of ALL TIME...hot...cold...medium...it makes no difference. Let us help you empty your fridge. Cheers ..read more

I am a bit under the weather as I prep for my Turkey Day Feast....BUT....I couldn't leave my Paigniacs hanging without a proper Xmas playlist! I recognize the fact that not EVERYONE starts on November 1st, like yours truly, so I felt obligated to lend my services and catch you up on all the festive vibes coursing through my speakers. Enjoy this quick hitter as you unroll your lights for the season. Cheers!   ..read more

It has been a while, but I'm back!!  Stuffin' a FAT bag with a subject matter that is outside of my wheelhouse.  I had to tag Kurtis to come in and help school me in the realm of "grunge." He was ever so kind as to give me a gift to assist me in my selections. Throw on a flannel shirt, get cozy, and enjoy! Cheers!   OH! One more thing...we had a hell of a time with our internet connections...this one took a while to shape up. I left a bit of an easter egg after the close to give you a bit of an insight into how "exciting" the conversations can be while checking the equipment.&nb ..read more

The itch remains... We are coming up on REAL football and real fantasy football drafts. So, I had the guys in the dungeon for a test spin. We did a collaborative mock fantasy draft from various positions with unique strategies. Dabbled a bit in zero-rb, flirted with zero-wr, one team can barely purchase their own alcohol...then my team....straight chaos. No theme music. No editing. Just us geeking out again.   There are fresh bags and paigncentric eps on the horizon, but in the meantime....we play dress up as NFL GMs. Cheers ..read more
