Has anyone already scheduled days off and gave family warnings about the Draft?

[BrAinPaiNt]

Since this is not a mock draft or talking about players in the draft...

I have already scheduled Thursday and Friday off from work and wrote on the home Calendar that it is NFL Draft weekend to give the wife a warning that it will be a honey do list free weekend. lol

Although I will not be shocked if we are all sitting on the first night only to see us trade the pick away and have to wait another day for our first pick.

Yep took a vacation next week and handed out warnings I'm not doing anything Thur-Saturday

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

LOL-they already know....fo sho'!

 

[Khartun]

Absolutely, asked off from work several weeks ago and the wife already knows that the draft weekend is mine. I'll be going to BWW on Thursday so I'll be upset if we trade back and don't pick till Friday.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Nope I will be in the big easy next week at the semi annual burger flipping meeting. So the household is safe.

 

[John813]

Nope. Not taking time off for that.

Usually don't bother watching Day 3.
Just come on here after the dust/freak outs have settled.

There was a funny article a few years ago about explaining the draft to a wife/SO. I just remember one line that said...by no means mention it lasts two days.

Oh, hear that, by the time I finished my explanation, I realized how weird I was for loving it; yet alone mention it lasts 3 days.

 

[KingintheNorth]

I will miss most of the draft for the 5th year in a row

I actually have the days off but we have our Spring game on that Friday and I have a college graduation on Saturday. I will hopefully watch most of Thursday's broadcast.

Will need @GloryDaysRBack to text me the Cowboys pick rounds 2 through 7.

It's my birthday weekend so I'll already have some time off planned.

 

[NorthTexan95]

Taking the wife to Niagara Falls for 3 days at beginning of the week. Just bought her a new car. She lost some weight so bought her a new wardrobe for her birthday last week.

In return she agrees to keep herself and my daughters as far away as possible from me from the start until the end of the draft / draft recap process. And she promises not to criticize my choice of apparel, food or drink that accompanies the draft process.

Please note there is no chance she will keep up her end of the bargain. And if history is any precedent she will rip up the contract about the same time Jerry:

a) Trades out of the round
b) drafts a tight end
c) drafts an injured player
d) drafts an habitual drug user
e) all of the above


Repeat routine April 2018

 

[jazzcat22]

I will watch all 3 days. Saturday will be a day to catch up on some things as well. Won't pay attention 100% but pretty close to it. Will work on some things on laptop I been wanting to do like get back to organizing my music, photo's, scan in old family photo's. Clean out closet, stuff like that.
So I can listen, but don't have to watch every minute.

I made my wife go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the RD1 of the draft with me 6 years ago when we first started dating, and it's been a tradition ever since.

Then we usually manage to squeeze in the rest of the draft throughout the weekend; watching at home, listening to it on the radio as we drive around DFW, etc.

Last year we were at a quiet bar planning seating arrangements for our wedding when I got overly excited after we took some kid from Mississippi State in the 4th round.

The nice thing is, she wasn't embarrassed at all. She just wanted to know more and why I was so excited.

So I guess you could say, I'm fortunate enough that this is a good weekend for both of us.
