Official NFL 2014 season trash talking thread.

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.

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

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
