They should apologize to the fans too for the relentless tragedy porn throughout their coverage

I cried more during the draft than I ever have watching "Beaches."

Agreed, holy cow was it an incredibly depressing broadcast. Aside from the Broadcasted tragedies some of these kids had to go through to the non-stop ads about Covid-19. I hope it’s safe to say as Americans and humans we all appreciate what the front lines folks are doing. But to have the non stop doom and gloom sandwiched between every pick was ridiculous.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact Tee Higgins is gonna fall to the fourth round due to his awful Pro Day...

I'm sure his mom will be suing ESPN any day now for pain and suffering caused by the graphic being shown to the country.

Well is wasn’t 3% of the broadcast that much was sure. 

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

More importantly, who is going to apologize to the viewing public for the Titans' draft room?!  ?

[SoCal Deek]

Classic ESPN trying to focus on everything but the actual football skills of these great athletes...as if being really good at something isn’t enough anymore. How about just sticking to all the hours of practice, etc that they put in?
