You're right -- you don't need an excuse to get hammered on a Friday morning. But I like to plan and organize my benders. Thus, the Bill Simmons NBA Draft Diary Drinking Game -- the most self-injurious way to enjoy The Sports Guy's annual NBA draft running diary.
Read it over, prepare yourself. We're assuming The Sports Guy's annual treatise will arrive Friday morning. But if you'd like to play along during the draft and imagine you were reading the diary, that'd work.
Enjoy.
The Sports Guy mentions the Texans passing up Reggie Bush. Take a drink.
'Tremendous upside potential': If the term first appears before the 1st pick is made, finish your drink. If the term first appears between the 1st and the 5th picks, take a swig. If the term first appears between the 5th and 14th picks, pour one out and let our boy The Sports Guy R.I.P.
The Sports Guy references Jumaine Jones' green room saga. Take a drink.
The VP of Common Sense makes an appearance. Take a sip.
Stu Scott is unintelligible, implies The Sports Guy. Take a drink.
Ronald Jenkees. (Shudder.) Take a shot.
Jeff Green good. Spencer Hawes bad. Take a sip.
The Sports Guy references Curtis Borchardt, Chris Mihm, Chris Kaman, and/or Raef Lafrentz when Spencer Hawes gets picked. Take a drink.
Did you know The Sports Guy won't be renewing his Clippers season tickets? If you didn't, now you do. Take a drink.
Father of The Sports Guy is discouraged by the Celtics pick. Take a drink.
"Did you know Chris Wallace was the GM in Boston previously? And get this, he stunk!" Take a drink.
Rick Pitino bad. Take a drink.
Atlanta makes a pick. Take a drink. (Note: This has nothing to do with the running diary. It's just good form to take a drink when Billy Knight is making an important decision. It's what Hawks fans do.)
The Sports Guy sarcastically praises Danny Ainge, Wyc Grousbeck, and/or Doc Rivers. Take a drink.
The Sports Guy's dog Dooze does something hilarious which presciently foretells some draft prospect's future. Take a drink.
Hubie Brown gets a shout, despite being nowhere near the premises. Take a drink.
Jay Bilas or Dick Vitale are shocked Joakim Noah slipped so far, and they would like to personally admonish the decision-makers who made it happen. Take a drink.
Father of The Sports Guy is confused by a statement by Stephen A. Smith or Stu Scott. Take a sip.
Oh no! ESPN.com editors are sending 10,000 watts through The Sports Guy due to some potentially unsavory copy. Take a shot.
The Sports Guy directly or indirectly compares the commissioner to Vito Corleone. Take a swig.
David Stern earns the 'Vito Corleone rep' due to a particularly painful shiv in the direction of a commentator. The Sports Guy notices. Take a gulp.
The Sports Guy ridicules ESPN's choice of "unhip" on-air music while toggling through songs by The Killers and The Bravery in his iTunes library. Take two sips.
The Sports Guy prematurely announces his retirement from doing draft running diaries. Roll your eyes and take a drink.
The Sports Guy gets a jab in at Sports Illustrated. Take a drink.
The Sports Guy gets a jab in at bloggers. Take a drink.
The Sports Guy links to "a hilarious YouTube clip." Take a drink.
Uh oh, The Sports Guy might need a divorce lawyer. :-( Take a shot.
"I'm an idiot." Finish your drink.

bonestorm97 let's not forget...
TSG uses the following phrase: "I will now...<insert something horribly unspeakable>", take a drink!
-
Kiefaber Everytime they say "Daequan Cook"or "stay in school" that's a keg stand -
themarkjacksonshimmy Huge tool who reads way too much Bill Simmons. One drink.
Seriously, I swear people wait to read his columns just so that they can put crap like this together and think they're funny
-
BullsBlogger I find it interesting that the Bill Simmons fan club pops up out of nowhere and registers for sites just to stick up for him. Can we get a ruling on this?-
themarkjacksonshimmy so that might have been a little harsh. If you read a guy's columns, which are usually rather lengthy and involve many personal details, they usually become old and tiresome. Why can't we just acknowledge that he's going to write this stuff and move on with our lives? Isn't there a Skip Bayless drinking game to play?
-
RedBaron Heh--keep me away from the Bayless drinking game. To me, it's the personal stuff that makes Simmons so entertaining ... and also makes him easy to poke fun at.
If he references the "Larry Bird|Kevin McHale|Robert Parish isn't walkin' through that door" speech - take three big puffs.

Burnsy Yup, these are his readers. -
Russell Ziskey Any mention of J-Bug, Hench, House, Sully, or some other dweeb friend or hanger-on, take a drink.
Bill conveniently slips in a reference to his close personal friend and former employer Jimmy Kimmel, take a drink. (Take three drinks if said reference includes a cheap shill for the Espys).
-
Proverbial Everytime Simmons says "everybody forgets this", take a drink.
Everytime Simmons mentions in a column that Tony Soprano didn't die, and then backtracks because he's an ignorant moron and doesn't realize they "cut to black" as opposed to the cliche "fade to black".
Also, if you're going to critisize Canada, at least read up on current stereotypes as opposed to the tired Bryan Adams and Celine Dion comments.
-
chone Canada is cold and everyone is an Eskimo who likes hockey. Right?!-
TheHype Nono, it's the other way around: Canada is Eskimo and cold likes hockey ... wait... what?
TREMENDOUS drinking game TZ, but I'll already be inebriating myself regardless and do a drunk(not at all live)blog with Ms Gossip.. it'll either be awesomely readable or not even a hobo will touch it...

jwjeff Okay, how many of you have a hangover today?-
tziller I am, and it has nothing to do with this sadly.

... choose between Spencer Hawes and Joakim Noah. The Bobcats pick at 8 and they are desperately trying to trade out of the pick. If Yi is still available, their job will be a lot easier. If not, look for MJ and company to choose between Brendan Wright, Noah, or possibly even Al Thornton and Nick Young. My Bulls pick nine, and there is new speculation that H-F product Julian Wright could be the pick. Wright is going to be a solid NBA player, but you would think the Bulls need to draft a big man with this pick. If the Bulls take J-Wright, does that mean Luol Deng or Tyrus Thomas could be on the move in a blockbuster trade? Most likely, the pick will still come down to who’s available between Joakim Noah and Spencer Hawes. The tenth pick belongs to the Sacramento Kings who might be looking to trade Mike Bibby or Ron Artest. If they stay at 10, look for them to take the best player available, whether it’s Brewer, Hawes, or one of the Wrights.
