PatsFans.com Kicks Off 2016 1st Round Draft Day Blackout Initiative

[Tony2046]

We'll be promoting it more beginning on Monday. Opted to lay low this week considering what transpired with the lawsuit to try and make sure we didn't get lumped into that group. Planning on starting a blitz with it on Monday and will be directing people to our Facebook page

I have to be careful whether I'm liking your post or Fnord's.

I've decided to skip the entire draft......I'll just go through the Pats picks when it is over

LOL, he's a goofball. I've had to do the same thing where I saw a post and was like WTH? And then I realized it was him

 

[Wheelman]

I was tempted to report every post of his when he had that report all posts by this user message thing but I figured patsfans staff wouldn't be too pleased with me if I did that.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to comply with this great referendum...sadly, I WILL be AT the draft day one. I'm going because I want to get up close and personal with my hero...Roger Goodell.

You should pick one network lineup of shows that runs opposite and make sure all the poster, Nielsens, cable boxes etc. tune into the same one. That will make it more dramatic.

If we pick a real low rated network and leave the TV on that anf go out, that would be hysterical.

pure gold

Hey Rammy! You still have that 14 year depressed feeling?

 

[RayClay]

Disney Jr The Learning channel TLC appear to be good choices, although Disney's part of the problem.

Pick one low rated network and all "watch."

So, if "hits" as well as viewing really matter and you think we could actually make a difference -- then, let's direct those extra "hits" to your website. You could truly measure the effectiveness of the so called boycott if your site takes a leap over years past (it is really going to be hard to top years past simply because there is no #1 this year to create traffic.)

Can you plan a MEDIA alternative for all of us that may not be watching but will be keeping up? It would awesome if you to keep us informed, real time, provide links that are PATSFANS.COM certified, and try to make available the available player rating charts from CBS, NFL Newtwork, Scouts etc etc -- I love to follow several of these.

Have a video that I recorded and edited that is done but had some issues when I rendered it, audio is bad so I'll have to redo it. It will hopefully go up tomorrow morning.

I'll be incorporating a feed for people to follow the draft and will hopefully have an updated layout done for here by then as well. Have to work the next couple of Saturdays and when I do I only have one day to try and get anything done, but we'll see how it goes. I'll hopefully have one of the guys update the selections while I'm working, so we should be good.

But as far as this goes, the number one thing is both the tv and even more so about keeping people off of those sites. You'll see why in the morning

EDIT: The latest video will run Monday instead.

 

[PatsDeb]

Bump bump bump

 

[bishbash]

The video mentioned images (memes?) would be available on patsfans to post on FB, etc.
Where are these?

 

[andrewssix]

Bumping this to remind everyone! Maybe we should boycott the entire draft instead of just the first day. The draft picks will be announced on twitter or other outlets, boycotting would be an easy first step of taking out our anger on the NFL.

 

[Froob]

Celtics are on anyways, so **** the NFL.

Pretty much what I do every year. I find the draft very boring. Can't see getting excited over kids who haven't played a down in the NFL yet. Just a bunch of New York clowns booing when a team not named the Jets or Giants is called.

 

[goheels22002]

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm in.

And you can tell Roger and his crooked Court of Appeals that the only draft I'll be havin' is an Up Yours Double IPA!

 

[Wheelman]

I'm not watching the draft at all.

 

[Gronkowski123]

not watching any of the draft. i decided this before the big news today...

no 1st round pick kills all interest ( thanks robert ) i trust BB will find some good players who can contribute. plus i don't want to hear them mention tom/deflategate. ive had enough
