Tapping The Keg Podcast Episode 95

After a week hiatus, Charlie and Mitch are back with another edition of Tapping The Keg podcast. We talk about all things Milwaukee Bucks for the first 15 to 20 minutes of the podcast going over Jason Kidd's hiring plus Jabari Parker and Summer League. Next, it moves to NBA Free Agency talking about LeBron James and whether he will go to Cleveland or Miami. Continuing on, we try to calm everyone down about the Milwaukee Brewers recent skid. It finishes with a little World Cup and Johnny Manziel talk.

The Obsession With Johnny Manziel's Life

After Memorial Day Weekend in Las Vegas, people went to DEFCON 1 with hot takes about Johnny Manziel. He didn't really stop there and kept the party going while continuing to build his reputation as one of the biggest social media stars in the last couple years. Everyone wants to take a picture with Manziel, and this weekend, we finally hit the height of its ridiculousness with another picture going viral from Las Vegas. Johnny doesn't need to stop the party, but he needs to figure out a way to avoid the social media drama which seems to be impossible.

H/T BlackSportsOnline 

The aforementioned picture featured Manziel with a rolled-up 20 dollar bill in the bathroom of a Vegas nightclub. Usually when one rolls up money like that, it is to snort something whether it be cocaine, speed or adderall. The media immediately rushed to the conclusion Manziel was doing coke in the bathroom without any evidence of it. This is the peril of being a party animal in a social media atmosphere. People will always make assumptions when they are not there. It is like ESPN and many other blogs were Lily Aldrin asking 'Where's the poop, Johnny Football' without there being the actual poop (Just made a How I Met Your Mother reference in a story about cocaine, hello rock bottom). 

If we saw a picture, GIF, Vine of Manziel doing cocaine in that bathroom, this blog post is entirely different. This isn't about Manziel being left alone more so just us as blogger and media people being more smarter about what we publish about Johnny. If there is hard evidence that drugs of any sort were going on with him in that bathroom, or he went Wolf of Wall Street on the best looking strippers in Las Vegas, okay, that's a story worth discussing more than 'MANZIEL IS DA COOLEST.' This isn't even about my unbridled love for the Cleveland Browns quarterback, it is about being smarter. Let's not rush to conclusions without the evidence there. 

Let me provide my own theory on why Manziel rolled up a 20 dollar bill. He wanted to put it in his ear therefore it would be easier to pay for whatever he wanted with said 20 dollars. Likely, Manziel is wearing designer jeans with tight pockets in a crowded nightclub. It would be much easier for Manziel to grab from his ear to pay for whatever he might need with the 20 dollars then trying to find the money in his pocket. Or what if that was his clever way to tip a girl through her cleavage, you never really know with Manziel.  He is not somebody where everything is black and white. Honestly, he could have been doing cocaine too, something very common in Vegas. But am I one to call him out for doing it without any evidence?  Hell no, that's reckless.  

This is the last holiday weekend for Manziel before Training Camp. He will be there for a month with a couple off days thrown in. Manziel will be under a massive, Tim Tebow-like microscope, but at the same time, if he minds his business and wins games, that's all Cleveland will care about.

Quick Tap Podcast Episode Eleven

Quick Tap podcast episode eleven hits you hard and hits you fast today.  We talk about a variety of things
for 20 minutes of goodness. I talk about Manny Machado's bat throwing incident by answering the question 'Would you rather deal with a bat thrown at you or a baseball thrown at you?' I discuss my top three karaoke go-to songs. I talk about Madden Curses and why people will be all over Richard Sherman if he is not good this season. It continues with a discussion about advocating against circumcision which I had no idea was a real thing but apparently it is leading to my mind being blown. Why it's my fault I got let down by Game of Thrones. Quarterback gossip talk with Aaron Rodgers/Olivia Munn and Johnny Manziel.

Tapping The Keg Podcast Episode 90

Tapping The Keg set for another edition with your two lovely hosts, Charlie and Mitch. Kind of a slow week, but we find a way to get 45 minutes of pure listening joy out of this one. We begin the podcast talking about your Brewers drinking team and what guys would be the most fun to go out with. It continues with a discussion about the hot Brewer hitting in the last week with a little All-Star talk as well. We move on to talk NBA Playoffs looking at both Spurs-Thunder and Heat-Pacers which are both headed for at least six games. The discussion continues with talk about the Bucks as Marc Lasry and Wesley Edens will be hanging with the common folk tonight plus why Mitch wants new jerseys. It finishes with the ridiculousness of criticizing Johnny Manziel.

Johnny Vegas: The Biggest Social Media Superstar

How was your Memorial Day Weekend?  Mine personally delivered in a major way with two days of heavy drinking, chasing women and spending way too much money. I think the terrible Wisconsin winter made this Memorial Day weekend extra special. That's also a code for trying to justify how much money I spent over a span of two days. But no one seemed to have a better Memorial Day than Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.

He took in Las Vegas like many young people in the United States do over Memorial Day Weekend as they bring the best DJ's and have these pool parties that you only see on Project X or movies like that.  When pictures began to circulate of Manziel hanging around the pools, ESPN ran right with the story talking about it as if it were breaking news that a 22 year old likes to go to Vegas and party his ass off.  This might be the time where we all have an intervention for the mothership and many other media outlets.

It is okay for Johnny Football to have fun. None of these pictures showed him doing a shot off a woman's breasts or him mooning the crowd. They look like normal pictures of a guy having a good time. It is bizarre we need to have this discussion about Manziel, but here we are in 2014 with the media having nothing better to do right now. It is also pretty clear he is the first social media superstar. Rob Gronkowski, a player he was pictured with it, had some of that as he had pictures of him with pornstar Bibi Jones, partying recklessly all over the country among other things. But Gronk doesn't play quarterback. Being the quarterback adds a whole new wrinkle to this thing.

This is going to become real tiresome. I am willing to bet most media outlets have one guy or girl assigned to Johnny Football Watch where they look at everything he is doing on a daily basis to see if they can find something to talk about. I mean Christ, the guy wore sandals for the team rookie photo and that somehow became a story. It seems like every day or so we get a new Manziel story. Cleveland made comments about trying to level him out a bit which is fine, but at the same time, it is Johnny's world and we are just living it. I don't know if there will be a step back from the Manziel coverage because everybody pushed their chips all in and now they are stuck with continuing the narrative. Not to mention, the dead period of sports in July after hockey and basketball ends will open up the flood gates for Manziel stories.

I don't always ask for pictures, but when I do, it's so I can do this. pic.twitter.com/kWZxv9G77V

Tim Tebow had some of this stuff, but with him being a good nature Christian boy, the media never had discussion about his 'partying' habits. This will give us the first real look at 'What would it been like if we had Twitter/Instagram/Tinder when Joe Namath, Brett Favre or Michael Jordan played?'  Manziel will be the first test study of that hypothetical question. To that point, I could see Jameis Winston having some similar problems as college football media needs a Manziel replacement and who better than Winston? The social media superstar will only continue to get bigger and bigger as people get smarter on how to find the smallest details about a person.

It is too bad Johnny had to post a picture of him studying today because it shouldn't be needed. There are NFL players out there right now doing far worse things than having some beers in Las Vegas. Hopefully, Manziel keeps being his own person because it would be a shame to see him caged in.

SnoTap's Hot First Round NFL Draft Takes

First round of NFL Draft was great last night. We really had everything, some drama thrown in there with Manziel plus a couple trades that we will look back on fondly. Let's do some quick hitters on the first round of the NFL Draft.  

Houston - Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) Yes, this will be awesome to watch with J.J. Watt and Clowney play on opposing sides of the ball. These guys are going to tear apart the AFC South. Get the right quarterback, in the playoffs.

— Mike Tunison (@xmasape) May 9, 2014

St. Louis - Greg Robinson and Aaron Donald (Auburn & Pittsburgh)  I thought they got the two biggest beasts of the draft.  Just straight up monsters on both sides of the football. NFC West keeps getting better.

Jacksonville -Blake Bortles (UCF) This is a risk for the Jaguars. Bortles will need some time to develop so don't be surprised if they give him a half year of bench time.

Bills - Sammy Watkins (Clemson) It is pretty clear Buffalo wants to make the playoffs. They needed to make a drastic move, but if the Bills aren't in the playoffs this year or near it and give Cleveland a top 10 pick, this is an awful decision.

Raiders - Khalil Mack (Buffalo) All the sudden you look at Oakland's defense, and it looks pretty sexy to be honest if all the old guys stay healthy. Additionally, Mack learning under Lamarr Woodley and Justin Tuck will be great.

Falcons - Jake Matthews (Texas A&M) Matt Ryan gets some protection, but Atlanta has to be upset Oakland went with Mack as they need to rebuild their defense.

Tampa Bay - Mike Evans (Texas A&M) Is Tampa Bay's offensive gameplan going to be... "Okay, Mike (Glennon) we are going to have you throw two verticals routes, either pass it to Evans or Vincent Jackson."

Cleveland - Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel  (Oklahoma State & Texas A&M)  I didn't get this pick, and then ESPN Adam Schefter said this morning on Dan Patrick, new coach Mike Pettine, loves defensive backs like his old coach Rex Ryan. Not a bad pick, maybe a slight reach. Manziel is the savior of Cleveland sports now. The reaction to Manziel getting picked was like Christmas come early for a lot of these people.

Minnesota - Anthony Barr and Teddy Bridgewater (UCLA and Louisville)  Dammit Vikings stop doing smart things. Both are great picks for this team. Barr will give their front seven a much needed boost and Bridgewater could be special for the team, might take a bit yet he could be really good.

Detroit - Eric Ebron (North Carolina) Let's hope this big tight end is not Brandon Pettigrew!  No, Ebron will be an added asset to the Lions offense.

Tennessee - Taylor Lewan (Michigan)  Do the Titans care this guy is a part of a rape investigation or him beating up some dude.... NOPE. 

New York Giants - Odell Beckman (LSU) Giants get a new weapon, but they have a slot wide receiver in Victor Cruz, why do they need another one?

Chicago - Kyle Fuller (Virginia Tech) Bears need so much help on defense. It really doesn't matter where they drafted for the defense, it will help them out right away. I am a little surprised they didn't go safety though.

Pittsburgh - Ryan Shazier (Ohio State) Steelers love their Buckeyes. I am unsure on what his position will be in a 3-4 system, but learning under Dick LeBeau is never a bad thing.

Dallas - Zack Martin (Notre Dame) I have no idea why didn't draft Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, it seemed like an obvious choice. Instead, Dallas bulks up their line.

Baltimore - C.J. Mosley (Alabama) Death, Taxes and Ozzie Newsome drafting a kid from Alabama.

New York Jets - Calvin Pryor (Louisville) I felt like the last couple years the Jets did not have the same edge as they did in the first couple years of Rex Ryan, Pryor adds a badass streak to them.

Miami - JuWan James (Tennessee) He ended up in the first round without anyone really talked that much about him. Only an offensive tackle could that happen where no one talks about him.

New Orleans - Brandin Cooks (Oregon State) They basically get their Reggie Bush and Darren Sproles back on their team with this draft pick. Adds another element to the potent Saints offense.

Green Bay - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (Alabama) READ HERE FOR MY UNBIASED OPINION 

Kansas City - Dee Ford (Auburn) I wonder if Timmy Jernigan's failed drug test had something to do with the Chiefs deciding to reach for Ford. They could have traded back to get him.

Cincinnati - Darqueze Dennard (Michigan State) How in the hell did fall this far?  There are certain players you just know would be special on Sundays, and that's how I felt about Dennard for most of his time at Michigan State.

San Diego - Jason Verrett (TCU) San Diego taking a cornerback was a bigger lock than Packers fans thinking they are General Managers after the team taking Ha Ha.

Philadelphia - Marcus Smith (Louisville) This is kind of a reach here, but Chip Kelly seems to really find a way to use his defensive ends in creative way.

Arizona - Deone Bucannon (Washington State) I didn't expect him to go this early, but Arizona has a secondary with Patrick Peterson, Antonio Cromartie, Honey Badger and Deone... OH LAWD.  That team will do some hitting.

Carolina - Kelvin Benjamin (Florida State) People hated this pick because he has a high drop rate and too slow. Here's the thing, Cam Newton just needs to throw it up to him near the red zone which Carolina didn't have last season.

New England - Dominique Easley (Florida) Had he been healthy all season, he would have went in the top 10, possibly top five. That good of a player, great value pick by New England.

San Francisco - Jimmie Ward (Northern Illinois) Niners now have Eric Reid and Ward patrolling their defensive backfield for the next several years. That's pretty nice.

Charlie.

Mondays with Manziel and Murph

Tappers, as it has been well documented over the past 10 months since my move to Cleveland I have only asked for one wish, for Johnny Manziel to play his Sunday's in Cleveland.

Go behind the scenes with me at the ESPN Cleveland Coors Light Draft Party at the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park.





Moments like this solidify the reason why I moved to Cleveland to join ESPN Cleveland and Good Karma Brands

Draft Day, Johnny Manziel: Nolan Murphy's 5th Annual NFL Draft Preview

NFL Draft, the National Holiday that was built into a young Murph’s life starting around 2001 and has saturated my life every April and now May since good ole’ boy Roger Goodell decided to extend it.

For everyone that feels the NFL Draft is now too saturated really has yet to fall in love with America’s sport. From January mock drafts to draft week rumors swirling, ESPN has blown this event up to be one of  their signature stamps.

In a year when I officially moved out of the state of Wisconsin for the first time in my adult life and left Packer nation, it seems fitting I have never felt more uncertain about a draft.  Spending time in the championship starving city of Cleveland and always revolving door in their football team’s front office has made me appreciate Teddy Thompson and his brass.

One would obviously understand that I was eager to try to cheer for the Browns, but fell short due to their inability to string wins together and have any sort of consistent quarterback play.

Starting quarterback is a role that has been forced on unsuccessfully by 20 different men since 1999 in Cleveland (Brandon Weedan was a grandfather.) Johnny Manziel and myself I feel have been destined to bring back Cleveland since the first day I saw a Browns game in person.

When the Packers take the field Thursday, September 4 in Seattle in the rematch of the “Fail Mary” game the fans have been waiting for, the Packers will be underdogs for the third straight season opener; ironically all against NFC West teams. Aaron Rodgers will be turning 31 years old during the 2014 season and I cringe looking back to the days when Ron Wolf (hail) let the Packers team get old and offensive weapons leave or diminish.

The 2014 NFL Draft will be a huge chance for Thompson and the front office to take a gamble on players that can help them not only in the future but during the upcoming season. Rodgers is coming of a year when he was injured, but don’t be tricked this team won’t be selecting Teddy Bridgewater on Day 2.

 5 Positions of Need

Quarterback: The Packers head into the 2014 NFL Draft with more of an idea than 2013 at their main clipboard holder behind Aaron Rodgers. Matt Flynn ventured home in a round about way and managed to save the Packers season. Green Bay would be smart to use a sixth or seven round pick on David Fales of San Jose State or Keith Wenning of Ball State.

Wide Receiver: Losing Greg Jennings, James Jones and possibly Jermichael Finley in back-to-back off-seasons puts a tremendous amount of pressure on Myles White and Jarrett Boykin. I love Odell Beckham, Jr, but the first round is not the time to strike in a loaded wide receiver class. Donte Moncrief from Ole Miss would send me home smiling. Don’t be surprised if they select Matt Hazel of Coastal Carolina, whose a crisp route runner and tore up the Senior Bowl.

.
 Tight End:  As previously stated, Finley is a huge question mark and currently is without a contract. Many experts have predicted Austin Seferian-Jenkins of Washington. Jenkins is a freak athlete, but the Packers are not looking for another project at tight end with Brandon Bostick in the stable.  If Eric Ebron falls, it’s a no brainer in the first round, but Jace Amaro is a poor man’s Rob Gronkowski and resembles a 1990’s Packer favorite; Mark Chmura.

Defensive Line: Mike Daniels and Mike Neal really showed some promise in 2014 and Raji has been given another year to prove himself. I think this defensive front is missing that Justin Tuck type power-rush player who can play all three positions effectively. Datone Jones needs to grow up, but it’s never a bad problem to have too many fresh defensive lineman.

 Safety:  The Packers really dropped the ball last year not getting either Eric Reed,Kenny Vacacro or Matt Elam, but this draft class show’s some promise. Micah Hyde could be the solution at safety, but I really liked Jimmie Ward out of Northern Illinois and later on Brock Vereen from Minnesota, the brother of Patriots running back Shane. Thompson is not ready to give up on Burnett so I would ax the idea of taking two safeties. Sleeper would be Ed Reynolds from Stanford, who had a impressive Junior year but disappointing Senior year.

Possible First Round selections 

1.TE Eric Ebron –North Carolina: Personality issue’s have threaten the UNC star’s draft stock over the last two months, but he’s a Vernon Davis type talent and would add another scary element to the Packers offense. If he falls past the Giants and Arizona  the Packers will scoop him up.

 2. DTRa'Shede Hageman, Minnesota: Going against some of the best offensive lines in country during is four years in the B1G, Hageman often saw and beat double teams during his senior year. Great blend of speed and strength that reminds be of Justin Tuck and Richard Seymour.

 3. S, Jimmie Ward, Northern Illinois: Ward was the best player on Northern Illinos over the last two years. He doesn’t blow you eye from a size standpoint, but he continued to make plays throughout his college career. He’s a lot like Burnett in that he can play both safety positions, which would give the Packers a unique backend look.

 4. DT,Timmy Jernigan, Florida State: A National Champion has not gone through a first round without a player being selected of their team since the 2002 Buckeyes. Jernigan was in the news week for failing a drug test, but truly dominated the stout Auburn offensive line during the BCS National Championship game.  He may fit a 4-3 defense better, but this goes back to the typical Thompson strategy of taking the best player on the board.

5.WR Marqise Lee, USC:  Lee has a storied career at USC and played is senior year with some awful quarterbacks. His build and style is very similar to Greg Jennings and he may have even more speed than the former Western Michigan wide receiver. Would add another playmaker to the offense and provide depth behind Cobb and Nelson. 

Mock Draft:

1. Houston: DE Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina

2. St. Louis: OT Greg Robinson, Auburn

3. Jacksonville: OLB Khahil Mack, Buffalo

4. Cleveland: OT Jake Matthews, Texas A&M*

5. Oakland: WR Sammy Watkins, Clemson

6. Atlanta: Aaron Donald, Pittsburgh

7. Tampa Bay: LB Anthony Barr, UCLA      

8. Minnesota: OT Taylor Lewan, Michigan DT

9. Buffalo: WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M* Trade Browns,  Pick Manziel !!!!!!!!!!

10. Detroit: CB Darqueze Dennard, Michigan State

11. Tennessee: QB Blake Bortles, Central Florida

12. N.Y. Giants: OT Zack Martin, Notre Dame

13. St. Louis: CB Justin Gilbert, Oklahoma State

14. Chicago: FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Alabama

15. WR Odell Beckham, Louisiana State

16. Dallas: QB Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M

17. Baltimore: LB C.J. Mosley, Alabama

18. NY Jets: LB Ryan Shazier, Ohio State

19. Miami: OT Cyrus Kouandjio, Alabama

20. Arizona: QB Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville

21. Green Bay: TE Eric Ebron, North Carolina

22. Philadelphia: WR Marqise Lee, Southern California

23. Kansas City: WR Brandin Cooks, Oregon State

24. Cincinnati: QB Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois

25. San Diego: CB Jason Verrett, Texas Christian

26. Cleveland: DB Kyle Fuller, VA Tech

27. New Orleans: DB Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Nebraska

28. Carolina: WR Kelvin Benjamin, Florida State

29. New England: DT Stephon Tuitt, Notre Dame

30. San Francisco: DT Ra’Shede Hageman, Minnesota

31. Denver: OG Xavier Su’a-filo, UCLA

32. Seattle: TE Jace Amaro, Texas Tech

As I told Snotap’s Chief of Staff Charlie Tritschler late Tuesday night, I have never felt more uncertain about an NFL Draft. Tonight will be crazy with rumors of Manziel to the Cowboys and the Lions trying to move up for Sammy Watkins.  Make sure you buckle your seat belts and always thanks for reading, this is a tradition that I continue to put off each year, but thoroughly enjoy doing.

Happy 2014 Draft!!!!!

10 NFL Draft Prospects I Don't Want on an Opposing NFC North Roster

NFL Draft begins on Thursday night. There is a great deal of unpredictablity for the entire first round. With some much time from the end of the season to the draft,  there are smokescreens everywhere with people making up fake rumors all the time. Before you know, Brent Smith, Wyoming's quarterback, will make a rampant run to the second round. It is truly ridiculous. Despite all the craziness, one of the worst parts in the draft is seeing players you cheered for in college find their way to a  NFC North division rival. It is truly an awful thing to have happen because now you have to cheer against these players.

One of the worst ones for me was Mike Williams, the USC receiver.  I loved him in college along with most of that USC team so seeing him go to the Detroit Lions crushed me. Thankfully, Williams never amounted to the player I thought he could be in college therefore it was only a short-term nightmare for me. I came up with a list of 10 players that I do not want to see near an NFC North roster that isn't the Green Bay Packers. 

10. Eric Ebron - He should probably be higher on the list with this one. Ebron is a damn good player and will be a complete terror in the league. Let's either have him in Green Bay or nowhere near the NFC North because he will create all sorts of problems. I don't want to see him twice a year.   

9. Zach Mettenberger - I am starting to get a weird feeling about him. I realize he is a statue out there as his mobility is next to none, but he can really sling the football. He impressed me a couple times at LSU, and I would like it if he doesn't end up being on any three of the teams in the North. I don't think it is out of the question to have three of the four NFC North teams including Green Bay draft a quarterback. 

8. Kelvin Benjamin - With Calvin Johnson, Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall, there are already enough big wideouts meaning we do not need another one with 6'5 Kelvin Benjamin. The only team I could see him going to is Minnesota which would be awful especially if they get Manziel in the first round. BRB I'm going to cry. 

7. Louis Nix - This is the only one of two on the list where I generally like the guy. I don't need him on one of the rivals. I want to cheer on Nix and I think he will have some fun with the NFL. But in all honesty, I follow two Chicago Bears players - Kyle Long and Martellus Bennett, so I guess there is nothing wrong with it but he is money on Twitter.

Donald Sterling, you going Nascar or nah?
— lOUIS NIX III (@1IrishChocolate) April 29, 2014

6. Teddy Bridgewater - I am calling him the Aaron Rodgers of the 2014 NFL Draft. I think he will go lower than expected like everyone else around the 20's. Minnesota could trade up to get him if they don't go with a quarterback first. He is going to be a good quarterback and everyone is going to be blindsided by it so let's hope Bridgewater does not end up in the North. 

5. Darqueze Dennard - There are a ton of people whom watch more draft stuff than I do saying Dennard may have peaked a little bit and might not take another step yet he played so well at Michigan State. I refuse to believe he will be just a college player. Dennard locking up Packers receivers is not something I want in my life this Fall. 

4. Ra'Shede Hagman - He is a complete beast. I am on the Hagman bandwagon. People think he could either be a top tier player out of the draft, or a complete bust flaming out in fantastic fashion. If he goes to an NFC North team, I almost expect him to assault Aaron Rodgers on a regular basis. I hope that's not the case, but I wouldn't be surprised.  

3. Mike Evans - He probably will not go to the Lions as it appears they are obsessed with Sammy Watkins, but if they decide to go with Evans, holy shit, that's a massive receiver core comparable to Marshall and Jeffery.  

2. Sammy Watkins - There are ton of rumors he will be heading to Detroit. Lions add him with Calvin Johnson and this team is downright terrifying. Watkins will be an impact player from Day 1 and Matthew Stafford will finally have another wide receiver with Calvin Johnson. I also already have him for fantasy (In one of our leagues, we draft one college players and have him for the next three years) and I would prefer if his numbers came against teams not named Green Bay. 

1. Johnny Manziel - This is the obvious one. I would cry if Manziel found himself on the Minnesota Vikings. It really has nothing to do with Johnny Football either. I think I would still cheer for himself even if he was on the Purple & Gold. The real reason is Vikings fans. They would be absolutely obnoxious about getting Manziel and call him the savior throughout the next decade. It would be a dark time in Charlie.

I assume one or two of these 10 players will find a way to the NFC North, and let's hope they are in the Green and Gold.

Charlie.
