It took forever to start. Constant ESPN commentary even after the “pick was in” flashed on the screen. No crowds. A commish trying to make us believe that on the tiny screen behind him all those people were “live” (“C’mon, get louder”..hit the volume button!!!). In house cameras on delay.
Guess it coulda been worse, the Bengals coulda not taken Joe Burrows y’all.
And so Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Pandemic Draft comes to a close. And the results are in, and really no surprises. “Lean on Me” used to be one of my favorite songs…until I heard it 100 times last night…. Not sure what Mike Vrabel had going on for the Titans pick in his “War Room”..The Fat Boys in the Trench were the stars last night … But, overall seems a solid first round. This is a deep draft, rounds 2-3 start at 6 tonight.
