What are your plans for watching the draft?

Ordering my favorite pizza in the world, the DeFino from Scottie's Pizza.

Going to my local bar.  There’s a private room for the bar owner and his friends.  They play poker and watch the LV knights games there. I know a bartender there and he reserved it for us.  3 TVs in there so we can watch multiple stations and the nba playoffs.

 

i had open heart surgery 5 weeks ago and this is my first night out with the boys.  Really been looking forward to it. 

God Speed, NewEra!

Wow draft parties and private rooms reserved!? My friends seem pretty lame after reading this. They really aren't that into the draft and they think I'm a nerd for how pumped I get for it. I usually just order a pizza and break out the scotch and a cigar. One of my favorite days of the year.

What building is the draft in? It doesn’t matter anymore because I’m not going, but I’m curious. I guess the conference center. I love Nashville! My buddy going up who said “IT’S IN THE ROAD!” made me laugh!

 

It's pretty much going to be in the street.  It's at the end of Broadway by the River.  I'm steering clear of anything downtown Thursday.  Do you know where the Hard Rock Cafe is at the end of Broadway and you look out over the River and there is Nissan Stadium?  The Draft Stage is going to be dead center right there as you face the River and Nissan Stadium.

Wise move! My first trip to town years ago they had 80,000 people in the street for an NRA convention, with big name country bands at both ends of the street. LOUD!!! If you go into any place along Broadway to escape the crowds and noise.....it’s just MORE crowded and even louder! I learned to sneak into hotels until my ears stopped ringing. 

 

I can’t wait to see the structure they build. I mean, what if you get really nasty weather???

We are draft crazy in Ohio, not everyone is. My friends in Cali think we are nuts. I think it’s the combination of being really into college football too. Problem with my draft party is it’s all Browns, bengals and Steelers fans. One saints fan who was a Katrina refugee.

You’re not a nerd because you get pumped for the draft! 

 

There are other reasons for that!

It is indeed a great day!  (I just wish it was 2 instead of 3)

Banished to the basement (as usual) here in Cincinnati. My family doesn't care nearly as much as I do. They'll hear me yelling though, like the time the Bengals helped the bills into the playoffs. Local wife still a Bengals fan... been a battle trying to get my kids see the light... 18 yr old loves Luck, so lost him, but still a chance with 13 yr old daughter who initially got excited during bills games, but she loved Tyrod and is mad at Bills. I tried to explain,  .... but it's not working, so far. Still holding out hope for her. Regardless, lots of beer will be my friends. Probably 12 Sam Adams friends Thursday night.

Chillin at the crib... Already gave the wife a heads up not to bother me... Unless blood is coming out of someone's skin I am to be left alone... If a band aid can fix it, don't bother me...

 

My wife is out of town from early tomorrow until Sunday. I do have a sister visiting, but she gets it just like my wife gets it. It’s the draft. I will be doing MY thing.

 

Our oldest son was only days old and my wife left me alone with him for the first time. I think she was pretty nervous and came home early. She came in to find us alone, in front of the TV, as I explained to him how the draft worked and what the Bills needed in 1989. Precious memories!

Snoring. My semi-retirement gig is 3 day/wk, 3rd shift gate security @ The Players Championship golf course. Sweet gig, really.

Works out well. I’ll just wake up and start banning people losing their shart on the pick.

 

Life is good.

My sister, tall and thin who never smoked and walked the dog miles every day, had a quadruple bypass in her mid 50’s. Never saw THAT coming. Very small family history other than parents, who just had high BP. My only aunt/uncle did die of a heart attack probably in his 60’s. I’ve taken up my sister’s routine of trying to get 10,000 steps/day. That’s a lot more than I thought it would be! 

 

Anyways, I’m sure you realize some teams have taken you off the board. 

 

Strange lives we live.  Heredity, exercise and diet.  2 things we have total control of and the other we are dealt. 

 

Keep up with the 10k steps a day if you can.  It’s a tough pill to swallow unless work involves a lot of walking.  Luckily for me, I walk between 13k and 28k a day.  I’m settling for an hour on the treadmill each day a until I can resume work in june

 

i appreciate the well wishes from everyone. ?

Yowza! I was a sedentary 4K/day all winter. A couple Fridays ago my son showed me at dinner my phone has been tracking me for YEARS! I had NO idea! I’m at 9,948 as of this moment. In NYC a few weeks ago I walked all day it seemed and got to 18k. I can’t imagine 28k!  

 

The draft is awesome! If this activity info sinks in with one person who becomes more active and gets to stay with their family for a few extra years, the draft looks irrelevant.

Happy birthday! Hopefully we get to celebrate Ed Oliver as a universal BDay gift! 

 

(I wrote that differently the first time, and it sounded dirty! My deepest apologies for even drafting that!)

Give her the best present of all...a night out without you! She gets to go out and have fun while you get to 'sulk' at home. ?

 

Low keying it here. Just watching at home with my younger son. First one without the older son who is finishing up his Freshman year at Virginia Tech (hard to believe it's gone so fast).

 

Hang in there @NewEra. A speedy recovery and all the best to you. GO BILLS!!! :beer:

I'm out here in SW Washington state and will be going to the neighbor's house to watch the draft.  I'm bringing over some Genesee beer (they actually sell it here; how cool) and cooking some tri-tip roast on a Traeger pellet smoker/grill and a side of pinquito beans.  Good stuff.

I'll be in Nashville, watching it in the middle of the road at the NFL's makeshift auditorium.

 

This will be my 19th Draft, and my first ever visit to Nashville. Looking forward to it.

 

Can't wait to see how the Draft will look next year in Las Vegas.

I wanted to get tickets but I moved away from town.  I used to live on Charlotte Ave, but now I live out in the country.  But for anyone coming to Nashville, just be mindful that the Preds are in the playoffs so you'll have that going on and there's like 12 other events going on downtown in addition to the draft.  Good luck getting in and out of downtown.  That's one of the biggest reasons I just said screw it.  I'd have to drive another 45 mins home after trying to get from downtown for around an 1hr and 30 mins to 2 hours.  No thanks.

Not anymore. Does that make it a little less crowded?

The Tangie is delicious. I love living in Oregon, some of the best beer and herb in the country if not the world. I definitely won't say the best pizza, but that DeFino looks pretty tasty as well.

The beer and pizza sounds great, but Parmesan roasted Brussel sprouts don’t belong on the menu.

Draft starts 2 am in my time zone, which would really suck normally.

 

However, unless something goes very wrong I don't work on Friday, so I can stay awake through the whole thing. Also, I have already tickets to Avengers Endgame on 9.40 pm on Thursday, so it fills the time prior draft perfectly.
