Re-drafts are supposed to be the easy mode of Barstool content. You take something dumb and universal — breakfast foods, in this case — and you let 4 personalities argue about whether bacon goes in round 1 or whether nobody actually eats grapefruit. Simple. Except somehow Mintzy turned it into a masterclass by picking items that should have torpedoed his board, and still walked away with the W.
That's the crew — Nicky Smokes, Burns, Ronny Doitche and Mintzy — and the whole bit of a re-draft is that the audience gets to play armchair GM on stuff they actually have opinions about. Everyone has a breakfast hill they'll die on. Which makes the result even funnier, because Mintzy apparently spent a pick on water. Just water. The thing that comes out of the tap for free.

Nate's quote-tweet is the whole review in one sentence: "Mintz drafted so well he took fucking water and still won." That's the kind of line that ends a debate before it starts. If you're so dialed in on eggs, bacon, coffee and whatever else that you can blow a pick on a beverage you can get for free at any sink in America and STILL take the crown, the rest of the board didn't stand a chance.
The lesson, as always with these things: re-drafts are won in the middle rounds, not the top. Anybody can take bacon at 1.1. Winning is about reading the room while three other guys panic-grab pancakes. Mintzy read the room, drafted a glass of water, and still got carried out on shoulders. Respect the process.
