IS THERE A DRAFT IN HERE?
One of the biggest days of the NFL season is the day of the NFL draft. College football players that were superior in college, now get a chance to play for money. It's a great opportunity for them and the NFL gains youth. The football season usually runs from August with pre-season to late January or early February. The NFL draft occurs in April. The coverage of the draft lasts, oh I would say about, nine months out of the year. Really? Believe it. It's uncalled for. Sportscenter on ESPN constantly has "experts" like Mel Kipper Jr. and Todd McShay on to explain who the first five or ten players are going in the draft. We all know. It's a pretty easy guess. Well this team gets the first pick cause they suck so how about they take the best player available? It can't hurt. Then the actual day of the draft comes and it's like 348925 days long and annoying. Then there is constant analysis and scrutiny from the "experts". A few days before the draft is fine for coverage and maybe a day or two of re-cap after, that's it! The draft is huge, but we can make it a less-than-one-week event. Easily.
Doesn't that kind of take the anticipation out of knowing who makes the cut? If they are talking about it for NINE MONTHS by the time they make the picks I probably wouldn't be interested in it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI love how you always seem to use some vague generic numbers that look like you chose them by smashing your forehead on the number pad. Nice article though!
