PFT: League planning to hold draft in TV studio setting

[Bachman05]

So we will never know who was going to be first to dive , fall into the Bellagio fountain ? Sad.

 

[fivetwos]

As long as I get to watch the draft I dont really care on its format. I would imagine that ESPN and NFLN will have all the regulars on video conference.
Will if be different hell yeah but it's also the best 3 days of the whole football season.
Dont screw this up jerry

A whole lot of games are won and lost during those three days.

I want see how the Cowboys structure their War Room.

I do too.

Especially since Garrett won't get there to hit on Charlotte all weekend.

 

[RoboQB]

They should look to pump in the BOOO artificially of course


Keep it original and realistic after all

Honestly, that's a great idea.
If he had a sense of humor, he'd do it.
Now, we wait... lol

 

[RoboQB]

I do too.

Especially since Garrett won't get there to hit on Charlotte all weekend.

She waited 10 years for him to make a move.. lol
That may possibly be the reason he stuck around a
few days after Jerry fired him. He'd realized he'll
never see her again. An opportunity squaundered.

Garrett was finally physically removed from the grounds
after being seen in a John Cusack-movie trench coat holding a
boom box from the eighties.

(HUMOR...there is no actual proof of these events occurring.)

 

[RoboQB]

Not everyone does it as you do nor should they. The discussions going on during the live draft are interesting and worth listening to in a live environment. Being done in a studio should not change that interest. I think it is a good idea and can be done in a very entertaining way.

I'm not embarrassed to admit I've watched every draft the NFL televised.

Hey, do you remember when the Vikings drafted Willie Beaver?
The guys at NFL Network were already getting loopy from the
previous two days and were just trying to get through the final day.

If you remember, once they had to announce Beaver was drafted,
they all lost it... lol. Barely able to contain himself, Eisen cut to
commercial.

I miss Mike Mayock. They would laugh at him for no-selling the gimmicks.
He'd finally loosen up and they'd crack jokes.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Does this new format mean ... no more green or baby blue stripped suits?

To me the NFL and NBA drafts are looks at the new spring pallette.

What's the mystery? The same way it's always been except McCarthy sitting in Garrett's chair.

Probably can't literally use the same chair but I'm sure they're prepared for that.

Sorry, I don't get NFL Network. I have no idea what you are talking about.

I'm much more interested in who the Cowboys draft than whatever format the draft is presented.

Give me the clock, the announced pick, who is on the clock next, give me details of trades and lets move on.

I was really hoping to go this year. I’ve always wanted to see a draft live and having it in Vegas was perfect. Oh well. We should all probably be thankful that they’re having it at all.

 

[dogberry]

Jerry’s age should keep him ensconced in the homestead in Highland Park.

[RoboQB]

Lol. If I remember correctly, she'd just had it stuffed.
Thanks for the chuckle.

 

[Risen Star]

Cowboys!

Will McClay!

Hopefully this means no more cringe hugs from Goodell.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Just make sure Mel's safe.

I would think the cloud of hairspray protects him at all times.

 

[Risen Star]

Your insolence will not be tolerated.

Supposedly they are talking with NASA since they did such a great job pulling off the moon landing hoax. ☺
