Well it finally got here. Having the raft begin on Thursday is so lame. NFL Inc. and ESPN have kind of ruined the draft day experience.

Anyone have any special plans for he draft? more than likely I will sit in the bedroom with the tv flipping between ESPN and NFL channel. My computer sitting here on PackersHome.com.

I have not made a run to the store yet but will probably get some snacks. Today does not look to be a big day as I expect Uncle Teddy to trade down. Although with 4 picks in the first 3 rounds perhaps he is satisfied already.

Tomorrow is going to be a better draft day. Will probably get a pizza and move to the living room tv. (I will be home alone as my wife heads into see her mother for a few days and they get together with my daughter for wedding plans. I guess the draft did come at the perfect time for me.)

Saturday tends to be a blur with all the moves coming so quickly. It will be harder to find info on the 250th best player on the board. Once again it is nice to have a source like PackersHome.com to find out exactly who GB picked up.

One of these years I will have to make the trip to Mecca and sit in Curly's pub on Draft Days. Better still let's all show up at Zero's house unannounced next year. That gives him a years time to pay the stupid cable bill so he can have real tv on that 150 inch screen of his.

I'll probably just sit like a lump at my computer with the tv on while chatting here. Sit and wait 2 hours for Ted to trade out of the first and make us wait for another 24 hours.

But rejoice! It's here! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it! [happy] [happy] [happy] [happy] [happy]

Dudes, my wife is a huge fan. She's throwing down a great dinner like it is game day, and we will watch the whole thing... its a party! I am one lucky SOB. This should be a lot of fun, especially if Ted can work some magic, either way, trading up or down or holding his ground. We will be a better team after this weekend. Of that I am sure.

Keiana has a concert tonight and needs to be there at 5:20pm. Then it lasts until about 8pm or so. After that, I'll come home and go to bed banking on the great PackersHome members to bring all the information here.

In case I haven't whined about it already. I hate this draft setup. Absolutely hate it. I miss DRAFT WEEKEND. That was gorgeous. That was excellent.

Back when I was in school full time I would completely blow off any paper or homework for the whole weekend. It just dawned on me how convenient moving it back would be to me now. C'est la vie.

Yeah but the thing that sucked is that it took FOREVER to get out of the first round. Even worst is when some team would waffle about and trade their pick after 15 minutes and team that received it would waffle about for another 10.

Team A trades 21st overall with 5 minutes left.
Team B must submit their selection before that 5 minutes expires.

The time left is related to the pick, not the team.

Was it always like that? I coulda swore there was one or two times it reset. Then again I might be misremembering things because of the marathon nature of the 1st round back in the day.

Somewhere down the line the NFL will realize they can extend the draft to 10 rounds and make it a full 4 day long event, or a week long event... it is only a matter of time. Advertising dollars will drive the decision.

The draft weekend was way better.

beast (4h) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (8h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (10h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (12h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
