YoloinOhio Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Interesting, never thought it would leave Indy http://thespun.com/news/nfl-considering-california-combine-move?ads=off If the combine moves to the left coast, the plan would then be to shift it into prime time to maximize viewership and ad revenue. Currently, the combine is televised live on the NFL Network during the day, with replays at night. Additionally, NFL sources told The Spun that while the consensus around the league is fine with a move to prime time, there is a strong contingent of teams that dont want to move it out of Indy. The reason? It is centrally located.
Captain Murica Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Well, after they let the public watch the bench press it was rumored they would go more Hollywood with the combine and make it an event.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Seems like an attempt to generate interest for potential sponsors of the new stadium. Think about how often 'Lucas Oil' was mentioned through the combine coverage over the past few years.
zonabb Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 If you watch even one second of the combine, I really feel bad for the life you live. That's as pathetic as anything I've heard.
YoloinOhio Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 If you watch even one second of the combine, I really feel bad for the life you live. That's as pathetic as anything I've heard. what is the point of such a rude comment? It says more about you than the people you are judging.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 If you watch even one second of the combine, I really feel bad for the life you live. That's as pathetic as anything I've heard. I watch the combine for the same reason that I watch the draft. I have friends who go through the process every year and I am interested in seeing their performance and successes. I don't think there is anything sad or pathetic about that.
RyanC883 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I'd love it if they moved the Combine around like they do with the Draft. Let some other NFL cities be a part of the process.
Marv's Neighbor Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Just more desperation to make LA NFL friendly. The Combine could be more popular than either of their teams.
hondo in seattle Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) what is the point of such a rude comment? It says more about you than the people you are judging. Agreed. I watch the combine for the same reason that I watch the draft. I have friends who go through the process every year and I am interested in seeing their performance and successes. I don't think there is anything sad or pathetic about that. I personally don't watch the combine but this seems like a perfectly valid reason to me. Edited May 31, 2017 by hondo in seattle
SoCal Deek Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Just more desperation to make LA NFL friendly. The Combine could be more popular than either of their teams. You're probably right. I'm sure WNY was the second choice.
Mark Vader Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 A prime time event? I don't think that's a good idea. The coverage is about 6-7 hours long. Are people back east really going to stay up until 1:00 a.m. to watch the Tight Ends run the gauntlet?
The Wiz Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Just more desperation to make LA NFL friendly. The Combine could be more popular than either of their teams.was my first thought also. We can't keep a team here so let's just hold an event instead.
Mark Vader Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 was my first thought also. We can't keep a team here so let's just hold an event instead. Which is why they will eventually have the draft there as well.
CommonCents Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Weed Shops and drug tests. Great idea. Weeeeeeeeeding out the bad guys? Edited May 31, 2017 by Commonsense
Augie Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Bad idea. Can't afford to have The Big One hit and all the good new, up and coming QB's fall into the ocean at once. I hope they protect this upcoming crop somehow. Bubble wrap is not enough. The stakes are high.
87168 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 You're probably right. I'm sure WNY was the second choice. well, in WNY's defense, its held on to its football team(s)...
H2o Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 If you watch even one second of the combine, I really feel bad for the life you live. That's as pathetic as anything I've heard. And the "Dick of the Day" award goes to..... Not hard to guess. How about people who like football in general watch the combine? I like watching certain parts of it as I'm sure a lot of others do. Just because it's not your cup of tea so to speak doesn't mean the people who do watch it lead pathetic lives. Also, if your life is the more interesting than ours, what world or life changing activity do you have going on at the end of February/early March when the combine is taking place?
Big Turk Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Interesting, never thought it would leave Indy http://thespun.com/news/nfl-considering-california-combine-move?ads=off Wow...heard the director of the combine on the radio a while back and he said it would be pretty hard for another place to duplicate what they do because they have got Indy's buy in from a lot of hospitals, etc that work together...
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 what is the point of such a rude comment? It says more about you than the people you are judging.
