    Colompton Beer Club #274- Smooth Criminals

    This week, we start by fantasy football, talking draft strategies, players we're targeting, league etiquette, and whether fantasy has made watching the NFL better. With that, we also prep for our fantasy football leagues by setting up the draft order by drawing names out of a hat. Nothing fancy. We look ahead to the 2027 Pro Football Hall of Fame class and discuss what really separates a Hall of Famer from a player who was simply great during his era. From there, we get into the WNBA after a coach came under fire for defending an opposing player's hard foul on Sophie Cunningham, raising the question of whether a coach should always publicly have their player's back. Then things get a little more unsettling as we talk about the growing surveillance state in America, including Flock license-plate cameras, AI tracking, and a report involving Snapchat AI flagging a private conversation to the FBI. How much privacy are we willing to surrender in exchange for safety and convenience? Dante shares his thoughts on the 2026 Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, including Jaafar Jackson's performance, the music, Michael's cultural impact, and whether the modern music biopic formula is starting to wear thin. Of course, it wouldn't be the Beer Club without the beer. This week we're sipping on and reviewing Ridge Runner from Breckenridge Brewery and Small Batch IPA Rotator IPA from Great Lakes Brewing Co. And we close things out with a round of Rapid Fire Questions covering fantasy football, privacy, AI, embarrassing search histories, and plenty of other nonsense. Grab a beer and join the club. 🍻
