NFL Draftniks
Is the NFL Draft still something you all will find interesting this weekend? Or, with the Browns being silent until the fourth round, is this a weekend for mowing lawns and watching the Cavs?
My guess: The draft will still pull in good ratings in NE Ohio.
And here are just some of the reasons:
Folks will want to see how much info ESPN and the NFL Network can squeeze on their HDTV screens.
They will want to see if Mel Kiper Jr.'s hair deflates.
They will want to see if Chris Berman will be able to yell into his microphone for the entire first day of the broadcast.
They will want to think about the fact they might be the only person at that moment watching the NFL Network and Mike Mayock.
They will want to wonder who in the world is Mike Mayock.
They will want to see which team can act more like the Raiders in adding as many bad characters as possible: the Raiders or the Cowboys.
They will want to throw the remote at the TV screen when the Patriots add a top flight player with the seventh pick and then get reminded that the 18-1 Pats face the easiest schedule in the league this year.
They will want to see who goes with the 22nd pick to the Cowboys … you know the choice that the Browns gave up for their backup quarterback.
They will want to get excited about the most popular fourth-round pick in the history of the Browns. And what is wrong with this? Nothing at all.
It is just this area's most popular sport, and this weekend will be just more proof of that fact.
