Who Watches the NFL Draft Live on TV?
 

Somehow I have been around or available the last few years and watched the draft on TV. Nothing real active mind you, but I have the TV on while I surf the internet and do stuff in the general vicinity of the TV. This year I am kinda excited to hear what teams draft what players and I am looking forward to it. I made sure that I would be around to watch it.

I have a bit of a dilemma this year though (reasons I need TiVO #108). I live on the beach in Southern California and there is a cleanup that day. It starts at 9am (12pm EST for those of you following along at home). Same time as the draft. The most exciting stuff is the first 10 picks or so and I will definitly miss that if I go to the cleanup. I can cleanup the beach anytime on my own and often do, but I would like to spend some time socialising with other "concerned citizens" and get their thoughts on some things (another thread for another time...What is the rule of steel?!!?!?!?! sorry. . . I'm back). I would feel like a pile if I missed it since the meeting place for the cleanup is less than 50 yards from my house!

Oh well - I will prolly miss the draft this year and get the recap, but I was wondering if anyone else watches this thing. Hence the poll.

Clean your house while the draft is on and you won't feel so bad :D

I watch it until my team picks and then will do something else for the next two hours until they pick again.

Same here.

<--Will be wasting valuable time the week before finals week watching the draft.

I'll watch the first round, but beyond that I'm changing the channel.

Even without tivo, you gotta have a VCR. No gots? I would say go to the cleanup. It will be more exciting than the draft anyway. If you can't record it, go to ESPN and read all about it after the cleanup. By the way, way to go on the community volunteerism stuff. Very commendable.:thumbsup:

First 10 selections, then check back every now and then.

You know - there is just a different energy to a VCR tape than a TiVo. I will not end up waiting to watch it and instead go and check on ESPN who was drafted and ruin it. No self control fro that sort of thing.

I put myself down for "read later", but even that was generous. I'll take a quick scan to see what positions the Patriots picked up, but I don't know who any college players are, so it doesn't mean much to me.

And even if it did, who's to say they'll be on the team at the end of preseason? I don't care much until the season starts.

at the least, I'll watch the first 22 picks (which is when the Cowboys are slated to draft).

Amen. This year I only have 12 picks to go through before we go, so hopefully everything exciting will have happened by then.

did not have my option up there, every year about half a dozen or so from work all take off early on Saturday and head to our local Hooters and watch the Draft in the company of beautiful half dressed gals feeding our faces :)

its our yearly tradition

we have done this for probably the last 4 years now and each year its just a little something stupid to look forward to.

First round. Then i read what each teams grades are the next day.

Last year when there was a strong sense that the Ravens would be players i watched the whole first round. This year they wont be picking until 51 and I doubt they will do any dealing so I will probably catch bits and pieces and then start paying attention when the Ravens get near.

PS Kyle Boller better knock my socks off this year.

I watch the whole first day [especially when my team may trade for the first pick] and then tune in and out day two...I LOVE THE DRAFT!!!!

Go Big Blue!!!!

Dr. Z has us trading up to get our #21 pick back from New England...but then he has us taking Steven Jackson, so take from that what you will.

I couldn't imagine sitting there and watching a draft.
If you like it, more power too you.

the nfl draft is one of my favorite events. i will probably watch the entire first day and on sunday i will flip back and forth. GO BEARS!
