So the Championship is 2 weeks and a good week would be say 400 points. I was down 155 to like 5 after 3 days. So many bad pitching performances in such a short period of time. His team didn't even win so much as mine just flat out lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I'm sure their IT Departments have been working overtime on this. And I doubt anything will happen. It's just the IT Guy in me sees so many things that could possibly go wrong with this endeavour.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I gotta say, ive worked in media and television production for the past 35 years and am amused by everyone who thinks televising this draft is as easy as some skype call 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 It would be so much fun to see all these bloopers messing up the draft. The entertainment value would be priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Roger will award a compensatory draft pick for each occurrence when a team fouls this up. Guess who just dusted off their Commodore 64 and the dial up modem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodell announces the picks. Probably an extended highlight reel to replace the walk, hat, and hug. Some of the players might set up with a camera at home, I suppose, though we're more likely to get cut aways to GMs this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the producer make sure the various commentators scheduled to come in from their kitchens and home offices are cued up and stuff? Could be a shambles.

Kmart128 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Honestly why cant we use team facilities? So instead of going to a bigger building with more space for distancing and better internet to prevent issues with the draft.. we forcing teams to draft from home with mutiple people in smaller rooms and more chance of internet issues. Why arent teams allowed to put like 10 people in a team meating room? And use all the screens, laptops and internet there. Make much more sense. As long as their is restrictions setbin place by NFL i dont see why using team facilities is bad. In fact ita probably beneficial. Or even use team facilities and put everyone in a different room.

I think the commentator part will be a lot like a Skype call, but with some official graphic overlays. There will definitely be less control though. ESPN and NFLN are teaming up for a cohesive broadcast, potentially to ensure adequate talent is available. They're also raising funds for covid relief, so they'll probably plug that a bunch.

They aren't putting multiple people in one room. It is one person, one room. The GM won't be having the whole scouting staff camping in his spare bedroom. They will all be dialled in from their own homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Yelich in the 8th was a steal. Yeah - they were his hitter and pitcher keepers. I get cole in the 2nd and Bellinger in the 6th this year if and when we have baseball season :(. and i pick #1 overall so i'll have a team with Trout, Bellinger, Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems there were some early hiccups, but they worked through them. They will figure it out. Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if this stuff is driven by GMs grumbling that the draft wasn't postponed finding anything they can to be inconvenient and complaining loudly about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
