Incredible Bulk or Aaron Maybin? You decide the future!
Not too much to talk about really.  Due to the Sabres incredible run, we here at DGWU have totally fell off the wagon in paying attention to the draft. The only thing that I've really been able to talk about is the lack of skill the Bills have shown in drafting in my EPIC FAIL series.  You can zip over to the right of the page under tags and click on "epic fail" in order to check them out and realize the silliness of recent drafts.. HOWEVER, my hopes are high this year.  Buddy Nix looks like he may have finally made some proper selections (although Spiller still drives me crazy) and this year they have a prime spot by picking 3rd overall.

Almost everything I have read and seen lately has the Bills taking OLD Von Miller 3rd overall.  I'm torn on this because I absolutely love Cam Newton's athletic ability, but I recently heard "draft expert" Mel Kiper say that Von can contribute immediately due to his skill in pass rushing and coverage.  Also his name is so close to legendary announcer Van Miller that maybe it's a sign. Who knows, I'm an idiot..  There are also rumors the Bills like QB Christian Ponder in the second round and...Wow.  Just re-read everything I wrote. Worst. Draft. Preview. Ever. But what do you expect with the amount of Sabres obsession and alcohol consumption that we have all put in our systems lately? Check out Joe's draft coverage over Buffalowins for some true intelligence. He has put together some great posts and interviews leading up to the big day.

You know what is insanely crazy? The Yachtsman and I going to meet and hang out with Andre Reed tonight for the first round of the draft tonight. BOOM! Mr. Reed is in town to announce the Bills 2ns round pick tomorrow at Radio City, so he contacted Matt over at the New York City Buffalo Bills Backers and said he wanted to watch at a Bills bar with the fans. Incredible.  You can view the draft party e-mails here and here. Also check out Andre on twitter @Andre_Reed83.  So come join the DGWU crew and Andre friggin' Reed at McFadden's on 42nd and 2nd in NYC for the 10th annual draft party. Cheep beer, free wings, NFL draft, and ANDRE REED!!! What else do you need?? Cam Newton, maybe? O.K., I'll stop.

This is legitimately the angriest picture of Miller I could find.
Welcome to Episode 3 of the DGWU CrapTastiCast!  Long intro today, but there is much to cover.  I should begin by saying that this episode was originally supposed to have an AMAZING interview in it with Phil from Blue & Black & Gold.  However, since we are new at this, and also because Phil is just such a cool dude to talk to, the interview went a liiiiiiiiittle long.  So what we decided to do is split everything in to TWO podcasts, with our regular edition going up now, and the special interview edition with Phil up later today or tomorrow.  We gave Megsy, our producer quite the work load for someone we only pay in praise and admiration (and maybe sometimes booze).  So you get to hear a lot from our vulgar mouths in the next few days. (Miller saying "expletive" really got us going!)

In this episode we talk all things game four, including the awesomeness that is Ryan Miller, Lindy Ruff calling out the whiny Flyers, the young guys stepping up, Richards' elbow, "Gate-gate", and of course Tim Connolly's inability to win face-offs, but ability to score on Chippewa.  We also introduce the newest version of our Sabres Crunk Mix theme song (Mondee!), preview our interview with Phil, introduce "60 seconds of Knicks talk" with the Apologist, talk NFL draft plans for next week, play Nick Mendola's brilliant rendition of "Daniel", and make fun of the Yachtsman....A LOT.  As always, a big thanks goes out to Megsy and Mondee, and of course Phil for being patient with us assholes. The interview is worth the wait folks!

There are so many ways to listen now!  You can stream the episode below through our new, nifty little podhoster.  You can also visit Libsyn.com to download the episodes directly or subscribe and HOLY SHIT WE ARE ON iTUNES!!!  Cool, huh?
