Which Network and Why?

[dcowboysfan76]

What television network do you guys watch for the NFL draft and why?

 

[SDCowboy]

Depends who's on the panel that year.

 

[big dog cowboy]

NFLN and it isn't even close. To take that another step, I watch with the TV muted and listen to Norm on The Ticket. I started doing that a long time ago and am sooooooo glad I do. There is a night and day difference in the draft coverage. It's nice to get all the new Cowboy player interviews, coach interviews and general info and insight regarding the Cowboys throughout the draft. Especially in the first 3-4 rounds Norm and the gang are really good at letting you know which players drafted the Cowboys interviewed or visited or were really interested in. I recommend everyone follow the draft this way and I know there a number of others that do also.

I usually switch back and forth. But as big dog said, I will listen to Norm mostly. Turn on the TV if they are talking Cowboys.
However this year, as last year, I will be out of town. Hotel has ESPN, but not NFLN. But I will watch it on my laptop using my slingbox player.
So I will have actually both on to see, plus norm on The Ticket app on my iPhone.

NFLN. I just cannot stand to look at Chris Berman and his cheap toupee anymore. If Kiper and Mayock switched places, it would be even better.

 

[Risen Star]

ESPN. Mel Kiper Jr. The original. Often imitated never duplicated.

I've never watched a moment of the NFLN's draft coverage during the draft but I have seen clips of it afterwards.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Listen to Norm's show, have NFLN on background,

 

[DavidS]

this ain't even a subject...NFLN

Mel the hair and his mini-me are dipshits

 

[skinsscalper]

NFL Network. Can't stand McShay or Kiper. Mayock isn't perfect but at least his analysis comes from an experience angle.

Oh yeah, and I can't stand Chris Berman. His schtick sucks and it should have been shelved a decade ago.

 

[DuDa]

NFL Network. It is hard to listen to Kiper and he keeps getting worse with age.

 

[morasp]

NFL network streaming. I gave up paying for overpriced cable/satellite a long time ago.

ESPN. I just hate 90% of the people on NFL Network, they act like it's a comedy show, Rich Eisen, Faulk, Mariucci, Sapp, Heath Evans that mumbling idiot, Eric Davis, they good around too much. Mayock is the only good thing on NFL Network and even he gets annoying at times because he just tried to go way overboard with his in depth analyses but I still appreciate him. Charles Davis on the other hand not so much, a poor mans Mike Mayock, he seems to be wrong with everything he says and with all his comparisons and projections. And of course you have Goodell on NFL Network like 90% of the time, I mean who wants to hear his idiotic *** talk.

ESPN doesn't have a Mayock type (scout) but overall I like the group. Gruden is very in depth, he knows what he's talking about, he's dealing with a lot of the rookies, he coached them up a little, interviewed them. Kiper is classic, very entertaining. Berman can be annoying at times but I'll give him a pass. Adam Schefter is also there, he's the best in the business when it comes to breaking news. Plus ESPN is the way to go when it comes to the Draft, too much history, too many classic moments. Watching the draft without Kiper or the ESPN theme they play in the back after every pick when they analyze the player just isn't the same.

 

[RS12]

NFLN, Mayock trumps Mel.

 

[pancakeman]

Oh yeah, and I can't stand Chris Berman. His schtick sucks and it should have been shelved a decade ago.

Yes, this. Berman is an instant deal-breaker for me.

I agree!

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

NFLN Mayock is usually spot on .Kiper on the other hand is usually lost.

 

[Tobal]

NFL Network and Norm. NFL Network has ex scouts and I really enjoy them.

What the hell are you talking about? He's the most accurate mocker in the business.

 

[DallasEast]

What television network do you guys watch for the NFL draft and why?

NFN, for the various reasons big dog cowboy, Alexander, AmishCowboy, DavidS, skinsscalper, DuDa, RS12, Pessimist_cowboy, and Tobal have already given.
