To get a head start on paying off my student loans, I’m now also serving drinks…
GOACTUARY FULL-SEASON PICK ’EM COCKTAIL BOARD
⸻
JACK & BATTERY ACID — Sure Thing Pick™ Edition
When everyone circles the same team in ink before realizing the game is being played in a monsoon.
Ingredients:
• whiskey
• lemon-lime soda
• lime juice
• a politely unnecessary splash of grenadine
Description:
Predictable. Dependable. About as shocking as the entire field taking the heavy favorite… yet somehow still counting as a correct pick for Whoever Submitted First. A smooth drink for a smooth 1–0 start.
⸻
JACK & BATTERY ACID — COFP Panic Button
For when the picks lock in eight minutes and you swear you definitely meant to switch the Titans to the Bills.
Ingredients:
• whiskey
• pickle juice (FOR DRAMA)
• a splash of blue sports drink that represents your vanishing dignity
• garnished with a cherry that is also confused
Description:
Chaotic, questionable, and probably not recommended by HR. Has the same exact energy as burning two COFPs in the early-afternoon window because you “felt a disturbance in the Force.”
⸻
JACK & BATTERY ACID — Season-Long Desperation Play
For managers who find themselves in 23rd place in Week 15 and suddenly believe they “mathematically still have a shot.”
Ingredients:
• whiskey
• sour mix
• an energy drink because it’s a long year
• a rim of red sugar crystals for maximum “please let something weird happen” energy
Description:
Loud, wild, and very much a two-point conversion attempt down 11. Best enjoyed while refreshing the standings spreadsheet and convincing yourself that everyone ahead of you could still go 0–5 this week.
