Deep2Moulds46 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Seriously, we have been waiting 4 months for the draft, and now we're 30 seconds away from hearing Roger Goodell say the name, and .....BOOM....they show Aaron Maybin crying on his cell phone. Kind of anti-climatic.

Kind of anti-climatic. Doesn't bother me at all. Well, aside from the fact that it's Aaron Maybin.
Deep2Moulds46 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 I never thought about that. Maybe I have been so mad at the pick, that I'm channeling my anger in the wrong direction. Perhaps if they had shown Orakpo or Oher on the phone, I would have had a different opinion.
H2o Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 It bothered me when the pick was Myabin and not Orakpo.
1B4IDie Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 It bothered me when the pick was Myabin and not Orakpo. Then listen to the draft and don't watch it.
Brandon Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Not really. There's never a guarantee that player will actually be the pick. That happened to Brady Quinn a few times the year he was drafted, if memory serves. And like everyone else, the only thing that bothered me about last year was the fact that they picked Maybin. Yikes.
dwight in philly Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 i must admit i like it when berman does the "cab driver" routine and calls the pick. guess i like the fact it gives the bills some relevance. they deservedly are irrelevant, but i will take any crumbs thrown my way.

Yikes. How about the McGahee staged call from Rosenhaus? That was lame.
Curse Of Rusty Jones Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Seriously, we have been waiting 4 months for the draft, and now we're 30 seconds away from hearing Roger Goodell say the name, and .....BOOM....they show Aaron Maybin crying on his cell phone. Kind of anti-climatic. I agree 100 percent. You know what that is all about? Its about ESPN's massive ego and saying WE told you first and take the glory away from the commish, do not fool yourselves.

KD in CA Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Doesn't bother me at all. Well, aside from the fact that it's Aaron Maybin. Perfect answer.
DanInUticaTampa Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Doesn't bother me at all. Well, aside from the fact that it's Aaron Maybin. haha
Lockport Bills Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 It bothered me when the pick was Myabin and not Orakpo. +1
PastaJoe Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 It bothered me when the pick was Myabin and not Orakpo. It still bothers me.
MattyT Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Not having to wait doesn't bother me at all. I just want the info and if they want to try to get it to me sooner, then I'm cool wit that.
Steve0022 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Chris Berman always hints at it too, because he's got magical cabbie connections. No other team has something like that on draft day.
Leonidas Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I hate it when Mike Tirico calls Trent Edwards a "former first round pick"
DDD Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Chris Berman always hints at it too, because he's got magical cabbie connections. No other team has something like that on draft day. We learned in Canton that Berman's cabbie's name is Ralph.
devldog131 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I was at the draft with MRags and MarkVaderr. We, along with a bunch of other Bills fans, gathered at the front of the balcony and began a chant of O-RAK-PO, O-RAK-PO, O-RAK-PO. Upon the anouncement of the Aaron Maybin pick, I'm told by friends and family that our chorus of boos was clearly audible on the TV broadcast.
Mahoo Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I never thought about that. Maybe I have been so mad at the pick, that I'm channeling my anger in the wrong direction. Perhaps if they had shown Orakpo or Oher on the phone, I would have had a different opinion. completly agree with you there, i was hoping for oprakpo. But and its a Big But, maybin has a chance to show us hes not a bust this year at linebacker. you never know life is like a box a chocolates...
