Draft coverage impression

Yea I hate the “event” spectacle of the normal draft. I like this better. Players, coaches, GMs all come off as more personable and relatable. We also get to see more footage and breakdown. I’d be a fan of just doing this every year.

I second this motion.

I was getting frustrated with the coverage so I took a Valium. It was better after that.

When NASCAR coverage starts at 1:00 there is a green flag time you can google. 1:23? great I'll tune in then. The actual first person drafted was 8:27. 17 minutes of that was reminding us there was a pandemic and we should be sad or happy depending on the moment.

Then they would say pick is in and wait six minutes to tell you who it was. Then they would talk about a dead or dying relative for 5 minutes while the next pick was already in. Then some images of people in masks. Often sepia.

A bit of  hyperbole for sure but like I said the second hour flowed much better. Because of the Valium.

*tries to imagine Happy Panther, who comes off as the most chill and laid back poster on the forum by a wide margin as needing a Valium.*

Nope. 

Can't do it.

EVERYONE else might need a Valium, but most of the time you seem perfectly fine sir.

Loving Panther's Draft Lounge on Panthers.com!

I watched it all night and it was crazy fun. Of course Jake was the only one watching the draft. I hope they make it an annual thing.

It was fine, but it still took forever. Two hours and 3 mins in and they were on the 15th pick — less than halfway through.

I watched it on ABC with the College Gameday staff. Those guys are the best in the biz IMO. They all played in college and the NFL, watch, and study the guys they're talking about. The first round went way past my expectations regarding the production. The best part was Goodell trying to pump up the fans lmao

I disliked the NFL Network / ESPN coverage..  You could see the next pick was in, and they seemed hell bent on letting every guest pontificator make some type of comment whether they knew anything or not.

Usually when I get agitated over something benign I have a cocktail. And for something like the draft I would have one in hand anyway. Having spent a week in the hospital last week (don't worry I'm healthy) it was forced sobriety for five days so I saw that as a good excuse to be fully sober for a while. Valium is to help with the stress trigger. That was the first one I took.

Yeah I'm pretty damn laid back overall. Thanks for the compliment.
