Set yourself up like an NFL playoff weekend with food, drink, cigars. The missus knows not to book anything those days. The buildup to the first round on ESPN all morning. Get a few pops in you before the Jets fans groan at their first round pick. Listen to analysts' heads explode when Belichick's 3rd round pick comes in from left field. Live posting here for the rest of the day Saturday. Then all the navel gazing on Sunday at the already-made picks.
The new format: Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday... one cannot possibly derive the same level of entertainment over that time period due to work, family, and the inability to remain tipsy for 60 hours. <sigh>
Hell, I remember the dark ages before the draft was even televised. I had to call the local newspaper's sports department to find out who the picks were.

I remember buying a magazine to get an idea during the Bobby Grier era. I specifically remember the Canty pick seeming strange and looking at the magazine wondering why they didn't pick Sam Madison.
Oh well, I thought, he's a professional, he knows more than me. Ha ha.
i hate rodger goodell with a passion. hes slowly but surely ruining football.
I'm sure that there are people who love the new format. I remember being told that it was going to be awesome, that I was crazy for not liking it, and that I'd end up watching all 3 days.
Those people should post in this thread to let us know how they feel about it now.
