NFL Draft moves to prime time in 2010

so i’m happy because i dont have to come up with any more excuses to miss work on saturdays.

it was working fine the way it was before

its not like familys are gunna get togeather with their popcorn and gather round the tv for primetime nfl draft.
not with mel kipers ugly mug on the screen

Except its kind of bad because now I have to wait 3 days to find out the new additions instead of two. Who likes to wait more? To me, watching the draft has never really been enjoyable….it takes too long..I just wish I could fast forward it to see when the Dolphin players are picked and then re-cap the rest of them later.

That weekend was holy, because it was an excuses to go to a friend house drink all day and just been guys!! No womans telling u to pick up the trash or do stuff around the house. It was our time to be guys and screem at the tv etc.

Thats stupid!

The fans will have to wait a whole day to find out who they pick

Anyone will tell you the greatest part about the draft (if ur a diehard nfl fan) is waking up….watching the reports…the dead time before mid afternoon and the trades you hear about.

then it goes into the night…and u wake up hungover on sunday morning….whats that? PERFECT HANGOVER ON MY COUCH TV!!!

this blows….hard. its not the same. Thursday night? uhh i have work Friday….and i have night school assholes…so what aboutthe HUGE amount of ppl who work nights and go to school at night? assholes. primetime is a thing for mom and dad shows like amarican idol…u put that on at sat 2pm and half as many ppl see it….NFL draft was already huge….its a effin draft….do they really need to make MORE MONEY ON IT?

i hate the new cruel money hungry world.

this really makes not alot of since.. i mean come on it is the draft…ya know THE DRAFT…. it is not exciting.. like watching golf… when they have playboy bunnies walk out with the players then i will watch the whole thing.. untill then……… i tune out till the phins pick. to tell the truth untill last year i never even watched the draft.. just read up on it once it was over to see who picked who. i just sat on my porch and watched grass grow for excitment.

4:30 and 3:30 weekday start times and 7 AM saturday? suckss

a bargaining chip with the NFL.! Kinda cute move by the NFL.

Pick 1 of the 2010 draft – my guess is the JJJJJJJJJJJets. Why? Snachez will be the starter. He will get his ass handed to him on a platter. They will not win an AFCE game. Okay, maybe they beat the Bills once. Reason? DEFENSE is the name of the AFCE game. We got it, the Patsies got it and the Bills got it. Snachez will flounder badly IMHO.

Who will the JJJJJJJJJJJets pick? Who knows with Rexy leading them. Oh, yeah, Rexy will be looking for a new job.

What is everyone else’s thoughts on who picks first? (No trades allowed)

For the last 5 or so drafts me and my bro would watch the draft. We let our families know ahead of time for those 2 days we will be unavailable. This meant eating and drinking whatever we wanted all weekend without interuptions.Well there it goes. Great… Our tradition is ruined because the NFL wants to make more money… I am really pissed right now

I work every weekend and miss every single draft. But with a Thursday night start, I can watch the first two or three rounds at home.

and it’s something I have been talking about for a few years, and that is a huge multi-hour in depth draft recap

My idea was to have the draft untelevised, but tape it, and have an edited version air on TV with an in depth look at each team, who they drafted, how they might fit on the team, ya know, the same stuff, but more in depth, without having to wait for each pick, and of course the results would not be known until the show aired.

But this may end up being the best of both worlds, because you still get the draft, but now sunday is open for a huge draft analysis/recap show, once the weekend is over, it’s back to regular programming, so the recap shows are scaled down and just gloss over a lot of stuff, now they have the ability to put together a huge multi-hour draft recap show on for sunday, and the draft weekend may be even better because of it, just trying to look on the bright side.

I think this is a great idea and there is a couple good reasons why

1.the fact it is moved to three days will IMO create a lot more moving ect. as teams will have a longer time to asses there draft boards and try and make moves up or down which IMO is probably the most important part of the draft for all teams trying to build a winner.(ect. Pats, Eagles)

2. The second and third round players will get better coverage and attention because I’m usually a little spent, I do pay attention but it is usually rushed when they talk about players so even having Mayock talk about where players are going to go after the first round it will IMO make a better TV event.

3. I have always missed the third round as well after having a long day of watching the first two rounds and comsuming plenty of beers along the way … this will atleast allow me to catch more coverage.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out but I’m always for change to try and make things better … now if it doesnt’ work than I may be posting otherwise haha
