PaattMaann Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Thursday: smoke a pre draft cigar with some scotch or whiskey....there's options....order up a nice large pizza (currently leaning towards pepperoni, onion and green olives but might change to sausage over pepperoni by draft day), crack some cold craft beers and enjoy the entire evening - might even take a half day Friday so I can sleep in a bit Friday: have a lacrosse game until 7, race home and continue my activities from Thursday night with leftover pizza and more craft beer - although I wouldn't mind grilling a little bit on Friday night....hmmmm decisions decisions Saturday: watch until 3:30 then going out for a round of golf and dinner with my wife, will keep up with rounds 6 and 7 via phone but hopefully we trade all those picks to get an extra fifth or 4th somehow I LOVE the draft....not just for the bills, but for the team, NFL and players....I'm a football junkie and this is like nirvana weekend
GunnerBill Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I have booked Friday off and Monday is a bank holiday here in the UK. So a nice looooooong draft weekend for me.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I hate this new draft format! Since 1987 me and college buddies would get together for draft weekend. We would each bring 3 or 4 different draft publications, go shopping Friday for the weekend, go out Friday night, and then not leave the house all weekend. It was like a draft warroom. Now the draft has jumped the shark. Ever since they stretched it out over 3 days, my friends and I have not gotten together for draft weekend. Screw you NFL That's awesome Pete and I hate this format too. Another thing Goodell has ruined in trying to get every dollar. I used to do a similar thing. My group of Bills fan friends would all get together in Boston or NYC and make a weekend of it. But we would just use the draft for a pregame, then head out, convincing ourselves the Bills drafted a bunch of Hall of Famers. I remember hearing about the Bledsoe trade at a college day party and losing my mind with happiness. TD was a terrible GM but he was good at making splashes.
BarleyNY Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Was hoping there'd be a good place in Buffalo for Thursday night. Haven't found much due to the lack of interest in town (no pick). Possibly Santora's on Transit as they seem to be the only place I can find that is having any sort of draft party. Probably watching from couch though. Better for my current diet anyway.
Gordio Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 we still get together once or twice a year. Everyone is busy with work and family. But every wife understood when it was draft weekend when we got together. Its not the same I will 3rd this. It used to be such a favorite. MY friends & I would go golfing in the morning, get back at the house, get a keg, grill out, play cards. It was an awesome day. I usually watch very little of the draft now which is to say I will flip it on when the bills pick is up. With that being said most of my friends & I have our sons in travel hockey/baseball which leaves very little time for stuff like this in the early spring so not sure if the tradition would still of continued even if the 1st couple rounds were on Saturday.
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Beer, Twitter, NFLN. No disturbing yolo. Maybe even a little tbd Shoutbox But... who will keep TBD informed with all the updates during this time. I predict mass hysteria on TBD from Thursday night through Saturday evening.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I'll be in Las Vegas for my daughters wedding this weekend. Not sure how much I'll get to see mainly due to the time difference. Will be weird to turn on at 4:00 in the afternoon. On the other hand may put a bet down on the Bill's to win the Superbowl Vegas should be hopping this weekend between the draft, the Derby and particually the fight.
BigBuff423 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 A friend of mine that is a Broncos fan and I will be at a local bar with killer wings on Friday night for rounds 2-3 drowning the fire in some beer.
Augie Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 NFLN or ESPN?? I go back and forth, but prefer NFLN for the most part.

Screwball Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I'll be on my couch watching the draft on my 110" screen in my basement. My wife is pregnant and calls it a early night, so I'll be a few beers deep and enjoying the night.
Luxy312 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I will be at the draft, in Grant Park here in Chicago watching it unfold live!
Chandler#81 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Being a football fan, I don't see how the lack of a first rounder makes you uninterested. The results Thursday have an immeasurable impact on years to come. Not to mention, Thursday results directly effect the Bills selection at 50. Maybe I'm not as excited but I am equally as interested I'm uninterested because there's nothing I can do about who other teams select in Rd 1. Highly unlikely the Bills or any team would alter their board to counter a player selected on another team. Again, I'll have my phone w/ me, but I'm not interested in the 15 minutes of blabbering between picks when we don't have one.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I'll be on my couch watching the draft on my 110" screen in my basement. My wife is pregnant and calls it a early night, so I'll be a few beers deep and enjoying the night. Enjoy that. I am pretty sure you will never do that again.
Augie Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Enjoy that. I am pretty sure you will never do that again. That was mean. And true.
