I can't take it anymore, enough is enough. Someone has to have an intervention with ESPN. If I see Mel Kiper's mop-head one more time yappin' about the NFL Draft I'm going to tear down my wall size Ryan Leaf poster.
Call me crazy, but ESPN's pre-draft coverage is completely ridiculous. They even break in the middle of NBA playoff games so Merril Hodge and Trey Wingo can argue about some Offensive Lineman I've never heard of-- who, after Saturday's draft, will make more money in one year than I'll make in my lifetime.
You know who else is crazy? People who have draft parties and watch the draft on TV wearing their favorite team's jerseys (sorry, Uncle Joe). I might actually watch the draft, in normal clothing, if I didn't have to wait 10 minutes (used to be 15 minutes) in between draft picks. It would seem like common sense to me that as an NFL GM or coach, I would have a list of players I want--and if the top player on my list gets picked before my turn to draft then I cross him off and draft the next player on my list. I really don't need 10 minutes for that. There, I just cut the 1st round from 5 hours to 25 minutes. I dominate.
What’s that you say? The reason they have 10 minute breaks between picks is so teams can trade up or trade down to fit their needs? Too bad, not in my draft. Teams like Baltimore have had 3 weeks of Mel Kiper’s mop-head telling them to trade up so they can be sure of getting Matt Ryan.
If you're anything like me, your name is Matt Toomey and your draft party starts at 11am on Saturday. You are all invited.
