Should I work on draft day?

[acheman]

NOOOOOO.


I know I requested off that day two months ago. Can't wait to get a job where I do not work every Saturday, especially once College Football starts.

Pray for rain.

:laugh2:

If it was me...And I could get off work...No question that's what I do.

My wife always gets mad at me and says "you never take days off for us to do something" and I say well I would if you were in this years draft.

:laugh1: I think lot of us do the same, err.. I mean the men anyway

Through the magic of TIVO, I'll be watching as fast as I can after the wife and kids are asleep.

Besides, watching live only wastes an entire day of your life. Trust me, it doesn't take 8 hours to watch the first round.

It doesn't, but I like it still, wasting that much time and the anticipation that goes with it.

The draft is worth watching because it is like a breath of football fresh air during the off-season. I'm not into the winter sports heading into their playoffs (they seem unending to me) and I have a hard time following baseball because of the inequality of payrolls makes it seem fairly pointless. All of the baseball analysis these days focuses on Bonds and steroids.

However, on draft day (particularly day 1) all of the analysis and anticipation leading up to everyone's picks makes me realize that a new season will roll around before long. It always makes for a good day of pro football.

The other good thing about this off season is I'm getting to watch Drew Henson in action every week. The fact that he isn't stinking up the joint makes life pretty good right now for this fan.

Only if one or more applies:

a) You're a college player who might be drafted,

b) You're an agent who represents A above,

c) you work for one of 32 NFL clubs.

Otherwise, frick it and watch the draft. No one will ever fault you for having enjoyed life too much, nor will you die having wished you spent more time at the office.

Besides, weekends are sacred. No workey!

Stay at home watch the draft Brother. This is it until August.

I am in Sales. I am in the same situation ...... I have a wife and 2 kids........I TOOK THE DAY OFF!!!!!!!!!!:laugh1:

All this talk of Tivo doesn't make much sense to me. I know you get to watch what all happened, but for me the excitement wouldn't be there as much. In the back of my mind would be the knowledge that this already happened.

If I were you I'd probably work, and just take a 15 minute bathroom break everytime the Boys are up to pick. Of course, I'm just a poor college kid so a $100-$150 in one days work may not seem much to you.

Ok, how close do you work to the sportsbook?

No sports betting in NJ, just the good old fashion way through the 55,000 bookie's that live here.
