The NFL Draft as a viewing experience


Even the diehardest of diehard football fan doesn’t know a bunch of the guys getting drafted, so you have no idea whether to be happy or pissed when your team picks the cornerback out of Murray State. In spite of this and all the waiting time between picks and the sheer nerdiness of watching a sporting event with no actual sports, I find myself drawn to it every year, partly to watch the Jets fans boo everybody and partly because of the intoxicating hope that the Texans will pick the next great player.

Yeah, why do they broadcast the drafts of any sport? The same amount of interest and excitement can be gleaned from reading the reports on the draft after it happens, and in about 1/1000th of the time.
