As many of us are sitting on our couches eagerly anticipating the long awaited return of Game of Thrones, I am over here preparing for the upcoming endeavors of Champagne Athletics as the Stark’s would prepare for winter.

If you all had the misfortune of watching the above posted video, you will have heard three “major” announcements:

1. I want to give Hockeytown and the Champagne following the greatest god damn t-shirt of all time. But I can’t legally do that without breaking copywrite law, and I would rather trust fall backwards down the stairs of the Joe than steal from my all time favorite hero (Steve Yzerman). So once we receive his blessing, the shirts will go immediately on sale, and for every shirt sold a percentage of the proceeds will go to a Detroit-based athletic charity. I will provide details on exactly what charity that is when I have full details. Scouts honor.

2. I actually have a sponsor now LOL. No like for real. I know every morning I shout out a fake sponsor and spew some nonsense about it on my way to work but I actually have someone who is giving me US currency to promote their brand. Now look, it’s very little. Seriously the monetary gains I’m making from promoting this company is not even enough to cover the tab for me and my girlfriend at your neighborhood Chipotle. But it is a app startup that is attempting to launch their app in Detroit come August. The app is called Score. And I really like the concept so I decided to take them up on their offer. The app works like this as explained by owner:

The Score App hosts conditional deals for bars on our app based on what’s going on in live sporting events. For example, a bar could set a $2 beer discount that becomes valid when Matt Stafford throws 2 TD passes. Our app keeps track of the progress of the deal and delivers a coupon to a user’s phone when Stafford throws the second TD. We support deals based on any player or team in the four major sports leagues.

BANG. Simple. So you’re going to see me periodically posting and talking about the Score App, which is totally fine cause it’s kinda lit. They targeted me to promote it because of my sports commentary and they said my face had the look and feel resembling that of a devoted bar goer/alcoholic. Kidding. I’m kidding that they said that, not kidding about my face.

3. Podcast. Whoa. The other day one of my friends said to me “Everyone in the fucking world has a podcast,” and he meant it in a negative manner. So in being completely non-creative and wanting to blend in with the crowd, I have decided to pursue a podcast of my own. I am still working out all of the details such as length, day it’s going to go out, and all that other bullshit. But I think it’s going to be once a week. So if you were already annoyed with my Instagram videos, you’re going to be completely nauseated by this podcast. I honestly wouldn’t even recommend listening.

That’s the announcement(s). Stay tuned for the next chapter of Champagne Athletics and enjoy the beginning of the final chapter of Game of Thrones. 🍾
