What are your plans for watching the draft?


Recommended Posts

when's the draft again?    thursday?   Bills draft , what, 9th?    so they don't pick until what, 9 or 10 pm?   might be back from my match by then... should work out.. its summertime babe, football is on the back burner now

 

draft is not very interesting at all to me.  I trust McBeanes to get it right.  I don't follow the college game enough to have strong opinions .. read a few articles which makes me a name dropper and that's about it

 

will record it in the highly unlikely case they trade up,

 

will be bringing a D.C. area crew up for Bills/Skins though.  folks from here have heard all my whoppers and now want to witness the tailgate scene.. that will be interesting..  :)

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. 

New Era hope you enjoy 1st guys night out.  I had Open Heart surgery almost one year ago.  Feeling better than ever.  Speedy recovery my friend.

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

 

It helps but only by a little.  But it's still going to be crazy down Broadway.  There's always a lot of people even when there is no Preds game.  You still have the Comedy showcase downtown this weekend along with the Music and Food fest.  There will be a lot of people for Food fest.

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. ?

 

TBH, it still sounds a little dirty. LOL It's all good!

 

Seeing it is falling on a Thursday, all wild and crazy plans will be postponed until the weekend. Thankfully, we have been through this drill before. I am taking Thursday off, will make her breakfast and such and put my time in before the draft and then after.

 

Wow it's been 10 years, but we were in Jamaica when the draft was going on (Maybin and Wood). I had $150 in text message fees because I didn't understand the Maybin pick with Orakpo on the board. I hate this team

i still hate the newer format.  the saturday draft was just too good.  we would have a crew of 15 plus people come over, start grilling early, and then it would get ugly.  by late in the afternoon, we'd all be fighting each other.  the thursday first round still doesn't sit well with me.

 

that being said, i may get home a bit late to watch the first round with my shirt off.

Yes, I do my best work in the dark..

 

I close my eyes night or day. Watching me putt with the yips is like watching Charles Barkley try to get off the tee. Not a pretty sight......

 

 

I had to change my grip.

I just know that they are going to keep us suffering.  

 

"We have a trade to announce !!  The Bills have traded down from #9 to #11 to the Cincinni Bengels.   They exchange the 9th and 11th picks and the Bills pick up the Bengals 4th round pick"                       okay, I wait to go the the bathroom and see who they take at #11

 

"Alert ,  we have just heard that the Buffalo Bills and the Washington Redskins have exchanged first round draft picks.  In compensation, the Bills will be receiving Washington's  3rd round draft pick!"       Okay, time for a piss break and another beer.

 

Two slices of pizza later....

"We have another Buffalo Bills trade !!  They have traded Washingtons Draft pick with the #24th pick that The Raiders received from the Bears. Buffalo gets the Raider's 3rd round draft pick"                Okay at this point I am pissed as hell and let my wife put on her hospital drama show.  For an hour.   Tuning back later...

 

There is no further mention of the Buffalo Bills for at least the next 90 minutes.  Almost, no mention.   Every couple of minutes the announcers say things like "Boy this is a wild night"   and "Who would have expected the Bills to pull off the deal they did !!?"   and "Well, it is no going to be an entirely new era in Buffalo"   and other &%^$&&  Scheiss like that without ever mentioning what happened.  My internet goes down and the wife and the dog go to the upstairs bedroom and hide.

 

Yep, you heard it hear first.

Ohhh great.  The Music City Marathon is this weekend also and they normally close off roads for it.  Yeah, I'm staying as far away from Broadway as possible.  You have about 20, 000 for the Jimmy Buffett concert, the Flea Market is always packed with up to 15 to 20 k people.  This is going to be wild.

The last 12 years I’ve taught a Karate class.

There is actually a pic of the day they traded up for Watkins, somewhere.

For the first time in forever, I’ll be home from the first pick on.

Beer and something to eat to be determined

If I ever lived close enough, I don't think I'd have any interest in standing around outside watching the draft(maybe for part of the 1st round).   OTOH, give me a seat at Radio City Music Hall(or wherever it was held in NYC), a draft magazine, and my phone with internet, and I'd be there for all 3 days.

 

In the meantime, I am happy watching all 3 days on TV....and actually prefer that it is Thu-Sat instead of Sat-Sun.

I know some people are heading to Nashville...

 

I’m headed to a big draft party for Day 2 Friday night but Day 1 on Thursday is going to be at home, like a game day food-wise. And i need to watch round 1 without having to talk to people. 

 

Im going to sit in a room put on the NFL channel and stare at a screen that says tvpromise.com until the draft comes on. :(

I'm off all week! ? Normally I'd have to work Friday, so usually I'll make it through the first half of the first round and then track the rest on my phone from bed. 

 

Going big this year though! Since I don't have to make it to work on Friday, I'll probably watch the first half and track the rest on my phone from bed.

I just left nashville....it’s a huge production! I can’t imagine how packed and crazy it’ll be. They’re predicting 300,000 people coming into town. It’s already insane without the draft going on.

 

Im sure it’ll be a really cool experience though. I’ll be watching from Buffalo!

Nothing too special - but more “game day” in terms of snack and drink choices.

 

This feels like a BIG draft for our Bills.  We got the QB, dumped some big contracts and cap eaters, and filled a lot of holes/depth in FA.  The draft is the icing in the cake - sort of the culmination of the process.

 

Just giddy with anticipation right now. It feels a little like Christmas.

I've been eating clean,lost some weight and my blood draw was "pretty clean".

It's been years since I had a Big Mac..

My bride will get me..two big macs,a large order of salted french fries and a chocolate milk skake. Also..a 6 pack of Miller beer in bottles.

That's all I want.

Good call—I’m with you, have been eating very healthy in 2019 and been dropping lbs, getting cholesterol under control. But Thursday night might require a juicy burger washed down with a cold Yuengling, all while parked in front of the home telly.

Keep up the solid, dedicated work on your health...nothing wrong with one day of cheating!!!

I’ll be missing it in favor of an Antiques Roadshow marathon. Gonna be some great stuff on late 17th century colonial needlepoint works. Absolutely captivating. 

The needlepoint is a reach! Better value in treading up for the Ming dynasty vase!
