Very dry....simply announced the pick. He looks great tho...lol If they stopped messing around and playing to the crowd the draft would be a lot better for it. The Eric Wood announcement was perfect 2

What;s the point of even having former players announce picks if they do it the way Wood did? The NFL wants the draft to be entertaining. Why even televise it if they were going to do it the way you describe? What's fun about the same tired attempts to be Drew Pearson? Anyone who enjoys the day 2 and 3 pick announcements has a pretty low threshold for fun. Edited April 28, 2019 by Mountain Man 1

While I think it's a legitimate question to ask, why would anyone choose to believe that's what he intentionally did to get out of it? Of all the various possibilities, what in this instance makes you jump to one of the most negative options? I'm actually curious if there is something in Andre's past that suggests this, or are you just naturally suspicious and think the worst---or something else completely. For the record, my typical default conclusions (without information to the contrary) are A: Complete disregard of others, rather than actually meaning to hurt others. I'm not sure which is worse, but that's what I typically find. And B: Incompetence over evil intent. Seems to me after investigation I typically find a large percentage of things that can easily be perceived as intentionally negative/hurtful acts end up being mostly the result of stupid, careless incompetence.
Wnybricky Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Stevie said something on twitter about rooting for Fitzpatrick because he is on the Dolphins now... I k now they are buddies but it loses a bit of credibility if you ask me.

It was Stevie Johnson, not Andre Reed. Stevie was always a bit of a knucklehead. I'm not saying he's a bad guy though. I just asked the question because it seemed like too much of a coincidence.

Although, the standard of play in their career in order to qualify to announce these picks have fallen a bit. At this rate Ryan Denney or Ko Simpson will be announcing next year. Maybin should get a chance.

I just asked the question because it seemed like too much of a coincidence. I think that's the second time I made the same mistake. Must be getting more brain-addled in my old age. But actually it makes my typical guess even more likely (in my mind). Stevie was a knucklehead, not a bad guy.
