Not since they put the on air delay

Actually, I never watch the halftime show. In fact, I went upstairs to while my wife watched it.

Yeah, most of us checked the pools and went back to the kitchen to eat more food.

Meh, more important sports are happening right now (Football and Baseball, and then hockey playoffs).

I recorded Round 1. Will watch it later before Round 2 starts

But I agree with BoobZ to some extent. NBA and NHL playoffs are more exiting than the NFL Draft. Baseball, however, is about as exciting as hearing your team's biggest rival just traded up to get the best player in the draft.

That's fine, football (soccer) and baseball aren't for everyone.

NFL is #3 on my list of favorites, so it will take a back seat to #1 and #2.

Still not able to get back into the NBA. I tried, but I just couldn't watch many games this year to really get back into it. Maybe next year.

[Haboob]

And, I don't like how the NFL has commercialized and blown the draft WAAAYYY out of proportion.

It's a draft. It doesn't need it's own television spot. People don't need to have "draft parties" - if you had one, or attended one, you're contributing to the dumbification of the United States.

Soccer is a great game. What's wrong with you, lumping it in the same boring category as baseball?

For whatever reason, I enjoy soccer but not baseball :shrug:

I watch too much college to really get into the NBA regular season. But NBA playoffs are typically awesome. And there were three Texas teams in the playoffs this year

I don't agree with this at all. At least the NFL Draft is fuckin real life. People have passion for their teams - I can understand and support that even if they are Philadelphia fans. What's truly lame is people have been having "draft parties" for fantasy leagues for years

The first round is entertaining enough to put on as background noise. You only need to look at the TV every time you hear the little chime that means the pick is in. I can't imagine watching rounds 2-7. You read the outcome of that in ten minutes Monday morning on your phone in the bathroom.

You're sitting there for hours listening to someone read names. Talk about boring...

You can easily get the results as they happen from ESPN updates. I guess it's the same feeling people get when they try to watch soccer or baseball - they just don't understand. I just don't understand the pull behind the draft. Sure, I want my team to draft as best as they can, but I'm not going to sit on the edge of my seat watching a broadcast of it.



A friends brother-in-law was so stoked about having a draft party a few years ago and I just laughed in his face. But he's also one of those "know-it-alls" and a Cardinals fan.

I'm not suggesting that you would sit on a couch and stare at the TV for the the entire 22.4 hours it could potentially be airing. There's nothing wrong with getting together with friends who share a similar passion to watch your team's draft and eat and drink. Just my

I'm not really into that either. But I can understand people who are. It's fantasy football that I don't understand. At all.

I have the first round recorded. It could potentially last longer than 5 hours. Regardless of how long it lasts, I will watch the entire round in probably ~30 minutes, fast forwarding through probably 90% of the filler. I've even avoided checking the draft picks thus far. Sure I could have checked and been done in a few minutes. But this is how I like to do it. To each their own

Forgot about this thread. Interesting week of football. Any time I get to come in to work and rile up the two Seattle fans is just the start for a great week. All I hear between the two of them when they talk about the next opponent is "I hope" which is a far cry from their attitude in the off season.

That Cards / Lions game was hard to watch. Wonder if the Lions are going to have another 0-16 year? In the Lions defense the Cardinals have another good season ahead of them, just need to stay healthy and I feel they will be contenders.

My Packers are dangerous this year. 12 consecutive wins at Lambeau, 5-0 for the season. Patriots are doing their thing and are always dangerous.

49ers are hard to watch too.

Go Cowboys and Texans
