Draft Overkill

This rant is aimed at a certain unnamed sports channel. Perhaps a worlwide leader. Who doesn't carry many truly international events. But I digress. The people whose Rose Bowl coverage almost made this Southern boy denounce college football is now making me despise the NFL. Okay, just the draft. I get it, there's no other sports on, certainly not playoffs in 50% of the pro sports leagues to devote hours and hours of droning speculation to. I've never cared about the NFL draft. The draft coverage attracts two types of fans: helpless fantasy nerds and insufferable fans of crappy teams. Oh, and it also gives Jets fans something to boo during the offseason. I might check online Sunday morning who the Broncos got and if Jerious Norwood got drafted. And that'll be it. Like it should be with normal people (notice I didn't say people with a life, for a reason). And it's not just me who thinks it, out there in the far reaches of the interweb, another scientist/rugger with a blog agrees with me.
