Good, bout time. There's something about the room going quite when Goodell walks up to the mic.

Without a doubt.

That or they spend 75% of the show talking about the first couple draft picks, or just CONSTANTLY reviewing what has already happened.

So your saying 4 hours of Manning/Tebow, Tebow/Manning?

So much for no tip offs. :P

ProFootballWkly: #Colts have told Andrew Luck that he'll be the No. 1 pick, per @AdamSchefter. No surprise there.

I like seeing their reactions to receiving the phone call, but would like to not know when they announce the pick. Maybe they can show a segment of their reaction after the pick is announced...

Thanks god. Just let the commish read the card, the cut to the draftee in the green room .

It's driven me nuts for years. And it seems like the last three years have been especially bad. I switched to watching nfln a few years back because I'd scheffter's dumbass

What is the big deal? It's like a 25 seconds before he reads it anyway.

Direckshun 04-19-2012 09:09 AM
I'm with The Bad Guy. I don't really care. I just want the pick to be a good pick.

It doesn't matter anyway. So long as there's a man named Adam Schefter, and so long as that man has a twitter account, we're going to know every pick before it happens.

You know it's going to happen, especially on ESPN. You could play a drinking game where you take a shot every time Berman mentions Manning but I'm afraid you would die of alcohol poisoning before Denver even picked. :rolleyes:

It just spoils the moment. It's like when you are watching a stream online and reading a gamethread and the people with the TV broadcast spoiling what happens before you see it. I think not knowing who the commish is going to say just adds to the excitement of draft day.

philfree 04-19-2012 09:23 AM
:shrug: I like the draft better when it was held over two days. Getting up on Saturday going down into the basement with a cup of joe and making a day of it was more fun to me then this three day night time crap. I'm sure they're making big bucks from the advertisers but I still prefer they old way.

Micjones 04-19-2012 09:26 AM
I'm not a fan of this decision.
Seeing initial player reactions is kinda cool to me.

And this only adds maybe 30 seconds of suspense.
