  1. by the league. They hand in the card, they tip the pick to the NFLN broadcast, they talk into Mayock's ear. It's not that hard. How many times do they obviously wait to announce the pick until the broadcast is done talking and ready for them to? Answer, all the time. The other thing is they obviously pick out teams they are going to hammer every year no matter what they do. They can talk both ways about any player depending on who takes them. It's not a factual broadcast. It's a made for TV event and they interject intrigue and drama to increase viewer interest.
  2. Utah State does a pretty good version of it. I have to say, if you could get 70k people to do it, it would be pretty hype.
  3. So people are totally going to put lawn chairs on Beane's lawn Thursday, right?
  4. They told him he needed to update his Windows to 10. Hence, busting out walls.
  5. and they could do all of those things already. If anything all of the internal IT departments and League Security have been running around like madmen to make sure all the mouthbreathers in the front office don't have "football" as their password.
  6. Howard is an excellent athlete who didn't produce in college and hasn't produced in the NFL. No thank you.
  7. Fine, you're right. It's much too difficult and the risk of compromise is much too great. The draft is postponed until everyone can drive to a common, secret, underground location where they can be sure nobody will see their proprietary information. The broadcast is going to be on a delay like it always is. If somebody jacks the teleconference they will just shut it down. That's all. No big deal. Nobody will get the opportunity to do anything outlandish. You stop the process and continue it later or whenever you feel like. Nobody will die if a CB from Texas A&I doesn't get drafted until next Tuesday. Will it be annoying? Yes. Will it be disruptive? Yes. Is any of that reason to not do it? No.
  8. I'm not arguing that it's not more streamlined but let's not act like this is impossible or even difficult.
  9. That way he can push off against smaller guys. He's old, he needs a break fer Chrissakes.
  10. And these dont have to either. Companies do investor calls on Skype and other similar platforms all the time.
  11. Jesus, there have been plain old conference calls for a million years where Fortune 500 companies would do huge business. Yes it easier to talk face to face but c'mon guys. The potential pain points come with broadcasting this on TV and doing things like forgetting to mute your mic.
  12. You'd think Dad would have the coin to pony up for some better WiFi
  13. Millions of people manage to draft fantasy football teams online every year. This isn't really that complex.
  14. One of the first outcomes will be that they ask the community they just layed off 100+ people from to foot the bill for a stadium.
  15. That was kind of my thought process. If I can open holes and keep my QB upright against anyone then I can beat pretty much anyone.
