2013 NFL Draft: Networks agree not to tweet picks
 
This is cool. Hopefully it works out and some degree of surprise returns.

Quote:
1d. Markman has told all ESPN NFL staffers not to tweet out selections prior to the announcement of the Commissioner for the first round.

The edict is likely to extend into the second round as well.

"The majority of the people we have heard from say they prefer not to be told in advance," he said. "Is this a perfect scenario on Twitter? No. But I can only go by the majority of what we heard and I think we are making the right decision.

We could get beat on some stories but I'd rather get beat on a couple of draft picks on Thursday night than anger the majority of the fan base. We'll definitely do that for the first round and into the second round. After that, I don't think people tweet out picks by pick, anyway."

Dave Lane 04-22-2013 01:51 PM

because many people don't like having the draft pick surprise spoiled

Brent Musburger refused to agree to not tweet pics.


Of Katherine Webb.

We should have an NFL DRAFT * WITH SPOILERS THREAD

And one that everyone except ChiefsandO'sfan will be in.

Chiefs and Ho's Fan should just be banned for two days.

The Franchise 04-22-2013 01:57 PM
I'm pretty sure last year that people we're told not to post tweets about who was being drafted or they would be banned from the thread.

Just because ESPN is refusing to do it doesn't mean others won't.

Jason LaCanfora will be tweeting picks. Because he's a prick.

yep ... something like that

Schefter has already said he will be his normal prick self and will tweet anything he thinks is "newsworthy".. you know because making sure everyone knows that he knew the pick a few minutes early is newsworthy.
