So the NFL Draft starts tonight at 7 pm (Central) and it will be shown on ABC, ESPN, and the NFL Network and I will be following the coverage. Tonight I’m going to try something I haven’t done before and we will see if it works how I want it to work. I will be reacting live on this blog as the draft unfolds. I’ll talk about the players getting drafted and my reactions along with some of my thoughts on the coverage.
I can already tell you I plan on spending more time watching the NFL Network than ESPN because in ESPN’s infinite wisdom they have decided to make Mike Greenberg the new host. This displeases me. I knew we would have a new host when Trey Wingo left the network last year but I was hoping they would pick any of the other 1000 on air people they have covering the NFL and not Mike Greenberg, not sure why they love him so much. I will be balancing out my viewing by trying to find Mina Kimes wherever ESPN is hiding her.
There are some opinions about players I care more about than others. Mina Kimes (ESPN), Daniel Jeremiah (NFLN), Louis Riddick (ESPN), Joe Thomas (NFLN), Dan Orlovsky (ESPN) a little bit and Kurt Warner (NFLN) a little. Ones I don’t care about, Mel Kiper and Todd McShay (they have become hot take guys too often), Steve Smith (NFLN) another hot take guy. Michel Irvin, Booger McFarland and Steve Mariucci, all three are incoherent at too often.
I apologize up front for typos and incorrect grammar, the editing will be minimal tonight.
