FluffHead Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 im thinking about moving the bedroom TV into the living room to watch both at the same time tonight. Ill probably just flip back and forth between ESPN and nfln though. The two TV set up is critical during peak sports season. I must admit that my tv #2 only gets used during football season, march madness or when the kids are playing video games. But the two TV set up is where it's at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Honestly? Nothing. I'll probably be hitting golf balls or doing yard work or walking the dog. I'm interested in who the Bills get, but I don't really understand the fanfare around it and what makes the draft into an "event" for fans. I don't pay much attention to it, other than who Bills pick. When the Bills make their picks, that's when I become interested in players. So I probably won't be interested until next week. In my opinion, no fans (with a few notable exceptions on TSW) can really evaluate players. Most fan's opinions are based on stuff they regurgitate from reading articles on the internet, and they probably haven't seen the players they are talking about on the field for more than a few youtube clips. And that's kind of silly. Seriously, who has the time to dissect film (and actually understand what you are seeing) on 10 players, let alone 100 or 300? Not anyone with a social life and a job. But hey, I'm all for it if people enjoy it. Maybe I'm an idiot and just don't get it -- which is a distinct possibility. I can understand why casual fans wouldnt watch the draft, or even why fans who are JUST bills fans (like, they dont watch other NFL games) wouldnt watch the draft but as a fan who loves ALL of the NFL - yes I would tune in to watch a 2-13 team play a 3-12 team have a show down at the end of the season - the draft is like Mecca for muslims - so much happening, so many futures of franchises changing/improving/imploding - mannn I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 He sounds like an awful person. He's a good guy (not an obnoxious Jet fan) but I do get my shots in every time we meet up. Tonight is shaping up to be a Draft for the ages...no idea who we're picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I'm all for it if people enjoy it. Maybe I'm an idiot and just don't get it -- which is a distinct possibility. I think they way the NFL has it set up now is appealing to more people. The 1st round is highlighted, the picks are quicker, and it's prime time. Even the average NFL fan will now watch the 1st round. I usually watch the 1st and 2nd rounds and then just watch the Bills picks on the 3rd day. Edited April 25, 2013 by ricojes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hosting a rehearsal dinner at one of my restaurants for my buddy. I will constantly be going into the office to 'check on things'. Luckily we are a Buffalo Restaurant so i will have wings, pizza, wecks, and plenty of Canadian Beer! Once the draft ends, turn my attention towards the bridesmaids!

707BillsFan Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 please explain further...this is worth a mini thread-jacking.... Really? Sure...daughter in a national qualifier tournament in Reno this weekend, as they do every NFL draft weekend. Volleyball? Black/White ball, 8ft net, small court, six girls on the court. Usually see several NFL players w/ their daughters, Dilfer (who usually doesn't show this weekend), Lott, Stubblefield, Eric Davis to name a few...thanks my NFL fix this weekend. I'm usually checking my phone to see who the Bills draft all weekend as it goes thru Sunday. Not thread-jack worthy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not thread-jack worthy.... you are right, not thread-jack worthy - I was hoping for juicy details about you being a male volleyball player, traveling to Vegas to hook up with other male volleyball players at seedy strip clubs/prossy houses....but alas - it was allllll for the kids (as it always is with "you parents") - but for real, well wishes and good luck to your daughter!

shibuya Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 not much. I'll put it on and do other things and every once in awhile I'll check back in. I cannot sit there and listen mind numbing jock talk for long periods of time between picks. Way to painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Fortunately I had a couple comp days at work to burn, so I took the today and tomorrow off and a buddy from home is flying up from FL (as we speak) to hang for the weekend. The plan is to watch the draft, eat, drink, kick around BTV in a lot of Red, White and Blue and hopefully high-five a lot. Should be fun. I'm making some Beef on Wecks to kick it off tonight. Wish us luck... I know this, I can't WAIT to see how this draft all unfolds. Should be pretty entertaining! Let's Go Buffalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I will be at work, with the draft on. Which web site has the best "live" coverage? I will only be able to peek in anyway, since I will really be working... really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Lol I will be taking my personal jet to my summer mansion in the Virgin Islands. From there I will board one of my many yachts where my personal chefs will prepare me a meal fit for a king. I will then be watching the festivities on my 999" LED flatscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
