TD Riggo Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Why is it starting so late this year? Anyone know? IIRC, it usually starts around 12:30. ALso .. how is it that Miami already has their pick when it hasn't even started? I understand that maybe the first 3-5 picks have already been worked out behind the scenes, but how can it officially be announced before it's officially started?

dallasfan Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Even though ratings are high, Goddell believes they'll be higher if they start mid after noon instead of 12 and by decreasing the time between pick. I hope the ratings go down, cause I like waking up and watching the draft, not wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 its to help to get more west coast viewers since the draft used to start at 9am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Khan Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I hate it the suspense is killing me. I just want to see it start already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMarco Murray 29 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Less time for picks. I guess they figure more people can tune in at 3 instead of Noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasfan Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 its to help to get more west coast viewers since the draft used to start at 9am that actually makes sense, but being on the east coast, I don't give a **** about them being able to watch the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 that actually makes sense, but being on the east coast, I don't give a **** about them being able to watch the draft it cant be that big of a deal because when the season starts I have to get up at 9AM to watch the first game. And MNF always starts at 6PM so I dont know if thats entirely true. Could be a factor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretax Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 all I know is if Steve Young says one more thing about no Franchise QBs next year I'm going to put a fist through the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have broadband, go to NFL.com and view the NFL Network Live Feed. No Steve Young, no ESPN garbage analysts. Mike Mayock is great. He's been right so far.
