F*** this draft coverage

hooskins · 04-29-2006, 12:39 PM

Seriously guys, I love the draft bc its something to do this offseason, but it seems like ESPN overdoing like crazy each year, and Im sick of it. It is obvious bc they have financial intrests vested with the NFL, and even more this year bc they are showing MNF. Am I the only one that feels this way? Im freaking sick and tired of seeing the same news report over and over, Mel Kiper Jr's goddamn hair, that dude with the big head and glasses that looks like chicken little. Freaking SportsCenter is nothing but football, and I love football its my favorite, but this is starting to make me sick. I really do not like baseball, but for all the baseball fans out there, ESPN has totally been giving it alot less attention for the last month or so. I do, however, love basketball, and there is limited analysis about the playoff games, in comparsion to the amount they put into the draft. I do not want to have to switch over from SC to ESPN2 for Stephen A. Smith's "Look at me im such a badass so I am going to yell and be pissed off when I talk about bball" analysis, I want to see it on SC, bc its called SC not DraftCenter!! And for those who are happy with this kind of draft coverage, I really think it takes away from the actually draft, by overhyping it. Seriously guys, if it keeps going this way ESPN should start its draft special right after the draft is over, so they can tap into the market early for the next season after that.

The Draft is great but i agree that ESPN puts to much Draft coverage on. There is only so much that you can say about a player, his family, background and training habits. However i still watch and watch and watch, and not much changes. Does anyone think that they should speed up the draft and only give the teams 10? I mean they have from January till now to decide what they want to do or identify their needs.

I am not talking so much about TODAY's coverage, I am talking more about in general the coverage before the draft.

anyone else laugh at that commerical where matt leinhart was a model or something?

SkinsLove24/7 · 04-29-2006, 01:25 PM

I bet if ESPN cut back on their coverage there would be people complaining that there was no good coverage on the NFL draft.

Everything is overhyped these days. Why would the draft be any different?

I both agree and disagree with you. When I turned on ESPN last night and they were holding their "mock draft" i thought that was freaking ridiculous. thats the definintion of overboard coverage.

BUT, i would rather hear about this every minute of every day than have to watch another generic ass replay of some meaningless baseball game or highlights of 1 game in a boring series of 7 for the NBA. Just my 2cents...
