My wife had done a bunch of work for a client and the launch party was last night - we had a date scheduled for a while and I never realized it was first round night.
Honestly, I don't know that I missed anything. I swore loudly when I saw the Skins take who I thought we would as I logged in to BBI when the Giants picked. But we had a great night out on the town.
Checking Twitter back at home it seemed like it dragged on and on more than usual. Part of me feels like enduring all that hype for months I should get some payoff or closure by seeing the event, another part of me says fuck it - I had a much better time.
Yea I know trades blah blah blah blah.
But I have little doubt that the thing is artificially dragged out for Television. When I see "the pick is in" you know you have time for a bathroom break.
I did the same - better than NFLNet and ESPN, but it was a little dry. They could have at least perked up a bit when we picked. C'mon, homer up damnit!
Congratulations NFL, you ruined the draft with the new format. I used to look forward to draft weekend and watch every minute.
What an embarrassment the whole thing has become.
But the worst aspect was Suzy Kolber's inane questions trying to prop up ESPN's brutally sappy background stories on each player. After hearing Laken Tomlinson say the word "Jamaica" for the 15th time I found myself hoping to see a story this morning about him, an eight ball, and a dead hooker.
They just lay the bullshit on so thick.
Great to have a man cave with a two tv setup
It was rather frustrating to keep hearing "the pick is in" but then wait 5-6 minutes for the announcement. At one point late in the round they were backed up three picks deep. As Goodell said this morning on Mike & Mike, he was ready with the Mariota pick but TV told him to wait. Indeed, it's not really about the football so much any more.

Really? Backed up three picks deep?
Assholes.
Watched a little of the MSG coverage.
Spent most of the evening doing other things.
The vessel is competing in a trail riding event near Sedalia this weekend. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, I didn't know there were trail riding competitions either, until she came home with a blue ribbon last weekend from a different event. (I keep telling her she only won first in her division because she's 7months preggers, but she's too much of a narcissist to be bothered by my taunts.)
So we saw there was another competition this week and decided that not only would it probably be her last chance until the spawn claws his way out, but it would also be nice to bring the grandson and all camp out (that way the boy can muck the stalls so we don't have to)-me, vessel, grandson, and mother in law. The chicks are riding while the boy and I just relax, throw the football around and enjoy the beautiful weather out here. Amazingly my phone is getting a signal. Yay Verizon!
