From
where I sit it looks like it's NFL draft day...
Or
should that be draft days? I fully acknowledge any effort to extend
the amount of time your sport is in the public focus is a good plan.
However, at what point does it start getting ridiculous? How far are
we away from a full week of NFL draft? One round on each night. It
wouldn't surprise me. Despite all that I will be tuning in to see
the selections. It's great drama and about the most fun you can get
from watching talking heads. Part of what make it such an amazing
event is the lack of anything actually happening. Even with a steady
stream of trade rumours there really isn't anything going on. It's a
bunch of guys in suits talking. Yes, it's the biggest day(s) of the
lives of some young men, and possibly the start of a great career on
the field, but this really is nothing but sitting and watching. That
really shows the marketing and level of dedication the NFL (and other
leagues) have created. There will be viewings and parties all
weekend. Not for a game, but to watch men in suits talk to other men
in suits about what might happen in four months...and it's can't miss
viewing.
At
least that's how I see it, and I sit in the cheap seats.
