Re: NFL Draft moving to Primetime (thursday)
Love the idea. Why not move it to prime time? It's the Super Bowl of the offseason.

Re: NFL Draft moving to Primetime (thursday)
I'm sure they'll get more money from advertisers this way. Nothing wrong with that. I've got no problem with Thursday night. Good idea. 7:30p.m. won't keep us up all night.

Re: NFL Draft moving to Primetime (thursday)
This is something ESPN went back and forth with with the NFL for months. This ultimately was the best compromise, but still causes a lot of headaches. From a fan's perspective though, I really have no opinion either way.

It'll be a stay-up-late night for common working chumps like me when we draft 32nd.

Re: NFL Draft moving to Primetime (thursday)
I guess I don't really have an opinion when it ends up being on, but I have very fond memories of waking up early on Saturday with a jersey, a notebook, a hangover, and a cooler of beer on deck. It's going to be weird watching the first round sober.

Re: NFL Draft moving to Primetime (thursday)
Worst. Idea. Ever.
Seriously, this is a horrible idea. I hate it. I can't even really express how disappointed I am in this decision. I knew it was coming, but this is just a retarded decision. The draft used to be an event I would have people over for, at least a few of my buddies and I would get some beers and hang out all day Saturday (when they still had 3 rounds) and then recover on Sunday by watching the rest of it. Now, it'll be cutting time when I could be watching other stuff. I'm not going to get on board with this decision. It's terrible. I understand the motivation from a business standpoint, but for a fan, I think it sucks. |

Re: NFL Draft moving to Primetime (thursday)
I wish it was kept on Saturday but started way earlier. It started at like 4pm this season!!! WTF ... it should start at noon, be wrapping up around 9 (like all three rounds!), just in time to go out or something.
