I saw that it will receive extensive coverage by one of the networks. It will be on prime time on multiple days. I cannot think of a show I would be more likely to not watch than this one.
I am a HUGE football nerd/armchair general manager, so this is a national holiday for me. It used to be better 15-20 years ago when it was all day Saturday and Sunday. I was in my 20s, I’d bum around all weekend watching the draft, ordering subs and Buffalo wings and all that, beers, weed, the whole deal. Plus the weather would just be starting to get nice, so we’d go outside and throw the football or play wiffle ball to get outdoors every once in a while.
I’m a Patriots fan, so this is probably the biggest draft since I was in junior high and they drafted Drew Bledsoe #1 overall. Shout out Tom Brady, he’s the GOAT, but Drew turned this ship around, and he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.
The Pats pick #3 overall tonight, and there will be a top quarterback available, which is exactly what they need. If things shake out the way they’re expected and how I hope, North Carolina’s Drake Maye will be available, and though I have questions about him and he’ll be hit or miss, if he hits, I think he can be really, really good. If he busts, we’re no worse off than we are today.
There’s talk about trading down and getting more picks, but I just think that there’s two ways to pick in the top 3: absolutely suck the year before, or mortgage the future. We dealt with the terrible season, this is the hopeful payoff. I wish it was more of a sure thing but you have to take the shot, otherwise you’re the one selling the farm trying to get a top QB in another draft, or you’re back at the top because you still suck.
So I say pull the trigger and ride or die with Drake Maye. It might work out, it might not, but he has great upside, and I’d rather kick myself for drafting him and it not working out than kick myself because they didn’t draft him and he ends up being a Top 10 QB in the league.
This throw right here as me all sorts of boned up right now.
Unreal, that’s SO difficult, and he makes it look easy. Rare arm talent. Just needs his footwork cleaned up and I think he’s gonna be a stud.
But yeah, I’ll be tuned in tonight and tomorrow night. This draft will impact the direction of the franchise for the next 5-10 years. I’m actually kind of excited for a non-Belichick draft (as much as I revere him🫡 ), and not getting the unexpected “WHO?” pick no one could have predicted in the first round, and trading back several times, etc. Still some trade rumors, but I’m hoping they don’t try to get cute and throw the Drake Maye dart at the board.But I am absolutely a huge dork for watching, I could easily just check the internet and find out who was drafted, training camp is still months away, plenty of time😂

No, the important news of what players went to what teams will come around soon enough. It's baseball season now!
We don't pay for sports on our t. v. but I am considering changing that cause I like real stories and the only real story other than sports that I can think of is news stations which I do not enjoy watching, since it's the same thing every day.
Hello my friend!
I actually will be watching it tonight though I doubt I'll watch the other nights. I'm just curious as to what my team is going to do. We had a terrible season last year and im hoping we get an actual quarterback.

I never do...
I just check SportsCenter at night, to see the highlights
I like to be surprised and to find out everything at the very start of the season so everything else before the first game's kick-off... I just ignore it
Not a sports guy. Would rather play the sport than watch it.

Yes, I am. The dolphins are coming up after the Steelers, which is right around the corner about seven minutes. Away
No. I have no interest in a game that causes brain injuries and CTE.
Isn't this basically glorified human trafficking?
