A Serious Question

The NFL in its infinite wisdom has decided to start the draft at 4pm. This conflicts with the Red Sox vs. the Yankees and the Cubs vs. the Cards. Are you likely to watch one of the baseball games or the draft?

I'm going with the baseball game if we get the Cubs and Cards in this area. It's bad enough that the NFL has been able to push the draft to the edge of nonsense with 24 hour a day coverage that starts when the SuperBowl ends. It makes that craving for football even stronger. But it's cruel to make us choose between rivalry games and the Detroit Lions' selection of Michael Crabtree with the first overall pick. And for that I cannot reward the Commish.

4 PM??? What happened to noon or 1 PM?

Dumb.

I'll watch the Cubs and flip over to the draft from time to time.

I will watch the draft until a pick is made. Then, for the next ten minutes, watch baseball (and probably see three pitches), switch back, see the next pick, switch to baseball and so on.

The draft is supposed to move quicker now..so that is a plus.
