I feel sorry for you

The only thing I do like about ESPN's coverage, is that they always have that best available player scroll going. I would like to see the NFLN do that with Mayocks' best available picks. Other than that though, ESPN can kiss my rear end...except for Gruden, that is.

I defiantly like the NFLN coverage and analysts better. Half the time the ESPN crew didn't even talk about the pics and their banter was ridiculously poor. I used to like Gruden but now he annoys me and the interviews they did were they basically tried to make the draftees cry were ridiculous.

I really like Mayock and Rich and they talked about way more picks but I will say this:

That ad in 1st person view, where the draftee meets all the celebrities and Newton is on Conan is the fuging stupidest thing I have ever seen. I don't care what anyone says it is bad.

Also the interview they opened day one of the draft with Primetime was hard to watch, I had to turn it to ESPN during that.

If you dont have nfln. I really enjoyed watching the draft this year with mayock, rich risen and the gang. Not once did I switch over to espn and thank god I didn't after hearing about how awful it was this year.

I feel like slapping you in a jealous rage. :D

ESPN's coverage was so god awful, that we just said to hell with it and went out fishing and listened on Siruis.

And now I've gotta a hella sunburn. :mad: Thanks a lot Charter Cable!

They didn't even show Hoover announce our pick! I was so angry when I saw him in the background while the analysts were running their mouths

Yeah, when that happened, I was throwing everything I had at the TV hoping Gruden/Kiper would STFU. (Luckily the only things in arms reach were pillows.)

The only good thing from ESPN's coverage was listening to Dilfer pop a squat and poo all over Seattle.

"I love Seattle, some of my best memories are from playing there. But everytime they make a pick, I just get angrier. I feel sorry for the guys in that organization."

:rofl:

ESPN sucked something special this year. I really wanted them to just STFU half the time and focus on the picks. While Todd Mcgay was up their running his cockholster guys were getting picked. And its just more that ESPN in general sucks on their analysis. It really is anoying the ignorance of that network about our organization.

I watched via....well lets just say I was watching NFL Network :biggrin:

forced to watch ESPN a couple of times bc of issues and I have to say its HORRIBLE. Trey Wingo is infinitely better than Berman, and yet he still couldn't save it. ESPN quit talking about the damn draft completely and start talking about other poo several times. Just horrible. fug them.

I saw a stat somewhere that said ESPN's coverage of the first draft day was down around 20% compared to last year. Now I can definitely see why. Mayock is so far ahead of McShay and Kiper it's not funny, plus his personality isn't nearly as grating as those two. Plus you get Rich Eisen who is the best of the whole lot.

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
