I find that to be amazing, the Buc's have no idea who they are taking with that pick and will have about 2 min to get the parrot to say the correct name. My question would be if for some reason the parrot says the wrong name are the Buc's stuck with that guy.

I'd pay money to see that.

Is anyone else watching "Barry" on HBO?  Winkler is stealing the show.  

Saw the first episode and was a little indifferent but I’m not ready to give up on it.

 

Fun fact, Henry Winkler, Jay Leno, Norman Lear, Dennis Leary, and a host of others are Emerson grads just like uncle Kirby.

They needed it to because of Trump's stance against taking a knee. This is good for the NFL.

They need all the shinny **** they can get. Even the QB talk is good for them. All the trade talk. It's all good for them.

Who was the draft guy that went on a rant last year about the Colts using an orangutan from the Indy zoo? Was that mayock? :lol:

It was Mike Mayock on NFL Network.  I think he said he mostly felt bad for the young man who was picked that way.  He said they took away the chance for him to hear his name called on him being chose and accomplishing his dream of making it to the NFL.  That got stolen from him for some cheap gimmick.  

 

I get where he is coming from, but I think he was a little upset at it because all these distractions take away from the actual Draft.  I miss having it all day Sat.  We would all get together in the morning, make some breakfast, have some beers and sit on the coach and make it a whole day.  This three day garbage is the worst change they have made in a long time.

I agree. I remember how POd Mayock was. The player was finally achieving his dream and it was overshadowed by some stupid orangutan pulling a card

I'm caught up but still somewhat indifferent - but without Winkler it's not even worth watching.  He's KILLING it on that show (just like he did in Arrested Development).

I'm hoping it's some crazy name thanks they can't get the parrot to say like "barkevious Mingo" or something, so they had give up and say "draft John Smith"

Why, did Trump mispronounce it?

Anyone remember the show Man versus Beast?

 

There was a legendary segment where a track athlete was racing a zebra, and Carl Lewis was the commentator.  They had Carl Lewis break down his "keys to the race" for each participant, and one of Carl Lewis's "keys to the race" for the zebra to win was that the zebra must "realize it's a race."

That's brilliant - I have to find that. Right up there with the "Keys to the Game" where they actually list "score more points than X".

Still one step above Football color commentators.

 

"Well Steve the Bills are down by 3 if they make this field goal the game will be tied" ... "and now back to dickin Dan"

Some reading comprehension issues in this thread...

 

NFL announces that a parrot — yes, a parrot — will deliver Bucs’ third-day draft picks to an announcer on the pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium.

and....i'm no longer interested.

They said delivering meaning likely the parrot will carry a note.

Not quite dead.........

 

"He's not dead, he's drafting."

"Drafting?!?"

 

...I say we must one up this.  For our pick a live buffalo must walk up to the podium and poop out paper with the pick's name on it.   <_<

 

Less gimmicks, more substance please NFL.
