He’s said Dan Lanning over a dozen times in the last hour, each time w/ a little more conviction and enthusiasm.. He’s edging… Just relax and let it flow Reece, it’s ok. Everyone knows.

With respect to what, the draft?
At this point Mike Greenberg wins the most Insufferable Piece of Shit award for ESPN draft coverage this year and it's not close.
Davis could sit and choke on multiple cigars while fellating Lanning during the 6th round when one of his own developed players finally get drafted and he still wouldn't even be close to an east coast troglodyte like Greenberg.
It's not even really east coast bias with ESPN it's New York City and Masshole and that's about it vibe bias. Unless you're a former player. I'm going full Rude Jude Gladiahater this week. The SportsCenter anchor smart guy schtick stuff from the 90s was lame and didn't age well.
Fans who go to the NFL Draft are some of the strangest individuals I can think of though. Do you want to go to Green Bay, Wisconsin and stand around while they broadcast names? I love the whole thing where they're crossing their fingers and waiting in anticipation and then they announce some cornerback from South Carolina I've never even heard of and then they erupt like they know what that means. It's also ripe with weirdos who wear elaborate costumes.
I started to really hate the draft once the NFL turned it into a “fan experience”.
I can’t remember what year and team it was but a team drafted somebody in the first round and the fans erupted like they got Joe Montana but the guy was drafted way too high, the announcers and all the mock draft nerds thought the guy was a 2nd rounder. Again, the fans acted like it was Joe Montana.
It’s the ultimate “we” fest.
Where's our retards dressed up as giant totems or some shit?
I thought NFL and our beloved 12 fans were bad enough, the draft is on another level.
I would love a Pup AI analysis of the current state of the NFL draft @puppylove_sugarsteel @haie @DerekJohnson
I was watching the 30 for 30 on the Elway vs Marino draft day. I miss the TUFF 1980s NFL and America god damn it!!
If the Chargers were still in San Diego the NFL hadn't gotten so insufferable I might consider going all in and saying fuck it all with pro college sports.
Become a Falcons fan with me. Low expectations and you're able to continue watch Penix throw lasers. Can't lose.
The draft needs to be in a hotel in NY without all these mouth breathers like it used to be.
No "fan experience," musicians, or celebrities.
I'm surprised that Snoopy Dogg didn't announce picks.
Peak sportsball thread.
I read an article about that the other day. As of 2015, the NFL awards the city with the highest bid to host the draft. All about the money. So they've whored that out too.
I haven't watched a draft in a few years but I hadn't consciously thought about it. But your post made me realize that part of the reason was seeing these neurotic maroons in the audience like something out of The Price is Right or whatever. The artificial hype of it all.
I remember noticing the Bengals sea captain fan or whatever and cringing - I'm sure they awarded those that dress up the most stupid for attention by putting them in a close spot so they're on TV all day pretending they know who Elic Ayomanor is. So they're rewarding these attention-seeking clowns. This guy and his girlfriend who is called like Who Dae were awarded fan of the year or some shit last year.
The price is right artificial hype is spot on, nice pull. Those people are like background noise when I view but it seems very much staged like a few rallies on tv last year.
