Am I Watching The NFL Draft or The Emmy Awards on The NFL Network.

[Tony The Wiz]

This Las Vegas is way too much for me with that going on the red carpet and judging what they wearing. Way too much for me. Rather watch more of the film of these athletes.

If only someone would invent a thingy that changes which talking pictures we look at while our brains turn to mush.

It’s Las Vegas and the NFL draft what did you expect? The draft is a spectacle every year… this is nothing new

I liked the draft a lot more as a Saturday-Sunday thing, and nothing mattered other than the picks. Probably why I don't watch until the picks. SNY Jets draft special at 7 might be decent.

[Darnold's Forehead]

Yeah it's ridiculous.  I remember a time when professional football wasn't a reality TV show.

I mean you can like it if you want but the draft being treated like the Academy Awards is relatively new....I don't remember Calvin Pryor walking the red carpet on his way to being drafted.

[Tony The Wiz]

And here we go. Wayne Newton, Mr. Las Vegas who knows nothing about football. This is hysterical. 

[More Cowbell]

Donny Osmond is going to announce a pick tomorrow.  

[HessStation]

I remember being into the NFL draft when it was just for nerds before YOU people took it over. Fond memories.

Wayne was what it took to convince me to watch ESPN.

Not true! He was one of the architects of the Wishbone offense!

I understand where you’re coming from Tony, but the red carpet is a thing with all these shows now. It is what it is.

As far as film of the athletes, we’ve been bombarded with that every day for months now. If that’s what you want, go watch NFL Live or some show like that…

[Larz]

I’m shocked it’s not exactly like the 1977 draft 

[Jetlife33]

Joe Thomas and Willie McGinest ******* suck. Impossible to listen to. Idiots.

There's nothing stopping you from watching film of the players in the draft.. 

[IntoTheGreen]

Not for nothing, but this is what is keeping my wife happy. She eats this red carpet sh*t up. I'll sacrifice the pageantry so I can watch the draft for 3 days without a fight lol

It’s 2022– everything is treated like the Oscars. It’s ratings. The draft has been this way since it started moving in 2015

No other sports league pulls hundreds of thousands of people to one location like the NFL draft does. I’ve been to a few drafts in the last 6 years- it’s been like this. Plus it’s Las Vegas- it’s going to be over the top.

[Warfish]

I will just say, I liked it the old way.  Not a spectacle, 100% about the analysis, teams and players and film of them, and the Draft all day Saturday and Sunday.

That was heaven.

Now?  Well, excuse to eat good Pizza I suppose.  But it's far more annoyingly showy and far less about football.

JMO, to each their own.
