1. As part of the festivities, the NFL selects a fan in the building at random to announce one of the fan's favorite team's late-round selections. He/she gets to go to the podium, announce the seventh-round pick, and pose for a few photographs on stage. A nice gesture by the league for the folks who grind it out at Radio City for the full second day. This year, the winner was a middle-aged Bears fan dressed in a Brian Urlacher jersey. Sure enough, he is announced, emerges on stage, and just gets bombarded with boos. "Urlacher Sucks" is the chant of choice. The poor guy then announces the pick — Joey LaRocque out of Oregon State — and LaRocque is booed! Why the heckling? No reason at all, other than a chance to boo. I love the NFL Draft.
