Apparently I missed the memo on the new 3 day draft.

3 day draft is better

plus it gives teams to evaluate the talent left in the 2nd round…lucky for us, we have 3 picks

It puts a damper

on the two-day, all-day parties we used to have that weekend, lol. We’ll have to figure how to keep it going.

Keep the faith!

u have parties for the draft?

Haha

I know… sad, isn’t it? It’s a great way to see the football crowd again and the family likes it.

Keep the faith!

An extra day's worth of booze.

With (pre-planned) illnesses on the third day. Not that I’m advocating skipping work, etc (cough).

Coverage for The Draft

Because we’re extremely obsessive around here, we’ll have ridiculous coverage for the draft. Plenty of mocks leading up to the big day(s) and open threads every day. It’s a little silly…

Silly maybe...

but it sure gets us through the long cold months ahead without any real-time football happening. The only Patriots news I really want to see on ESPN would be for charity work, new contracts, FA signings or how some player risked his life to rescue a litter of puppies.

Keep the faith!
