I seriously saw @McCarthy post something on Twitter about sports tonight and he added a quip about “nothing happening in the NFL tonight” and thought absolutely nothing of it other than thinking it was a bit strange for mid April. Has coverage dropped off that much or am I just living under a rock? You've been lucky enough to not watch FS1 or ESPN. They've been beating that horse for a couple weeks.

It's as big as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 With the exception of bringing on Luke Bryant and Lee Corso wearing a giant Dwayne Haskins head, I enjoyed the ESPN on ABC coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was still a few weeks away, actually. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

dfwabel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Mina Kimes wins Day 1 of the NFL Draft broadcast again. The ESPN "On the Clock" on YouTube and Twitter with Mina, GoJo, and Foxworth is the most entertaining, but this year she didn't drop profanities.

Her worrying and doing a "pee pee" dance over the Seattle pick (and trade) was what one the night for me and was hilarious. Love her laugh too. Our "Sports Media" thread might need a post from me being a LeBatardapologist, but a decade later, I listen for Billy and Stugotz. In fact, I think my older brother is a Stugotz in every way down to them both marrying a Gator alum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's become a bit problematic to talk like this in today's world, and I totally get why and don't want to be disrespectful or "creepy", but I have to admit that I've always had a HUGE crush on her. She's just fantastic and is one of the best in her field. I admire the hell out of that and genuinely look up to her. I think we need to start a Dan LeBatard thread. His empire is the very best thing about sports media today, and that's really saying something considering it's a Disney property.

Dynasty Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Surprised Daniel Jones went at 6; that feels too high. Being compared to Jay Cutler is not a good comparison, but maybe he'll do better... who knows. The Dolphins made me nervous, but they chose to bolster the defense instead of taking a QB. That's what I wanted. The Broncos took a TE again? Lol they just can't find anyone to fill that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyJimmy Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I can't complain at all about the Jets' pick, but honestly, I just think I don't care all that much about the NFL anymore. Like, all sports leagues essentially boil down to dick-waving contests between rich bastards at the expense of the proletariat, but the NFL is that jacked up to almost a comedic degree. And the product isn't even that entertaining to make up for it. The Patriots right now are the real sports equivalent of Reign of Terror-era Triple H.

No. The NFL with its salary cap for both the team and for rookies, sets itself up by design for, "Hope Trafficking" and they do it much, much better than the rest. Add the free agency month before the Draft makes it more impactful to the average NFL fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both led mediocre SEC teams and put up solid stats that get them hyped because they played against “SEC defenses.” And knowing my luck, Denver will take him, too.
