Art Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Every year I watch the draft faithfully. One of the great highlights I have in the offseason. Every year there is a rugby match in April I miss. This year the guys finally got me to commit to playing. And then I look at the schedule and it's the DRAFT weekend. So, do I skip out of the rugby game, or, the draft? It's a hard damn call :)l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 not me Art. Two years ago I went to FedEx and had a great time. last year it wasn't worth it with the 3 picks. This year I'll be back for #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchogs Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 take a portable tv and hook it up to directv on the sidelines. if you can't do that, i'd go play. the draft is more dead space than action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljer Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Play the rugby game. You many only be able to do it for so many more years. The draft you can catch every year. We'll keep you updated anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I'd play rugby. But I'm not a crazy draftnik. I watch it if I'm home and I don't have something better to do. Rugby (if I played it) would qualify as something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Play Rugby - but do you have a wireless laptop or PDA or something? Get updates on the field. BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I love the draft as well. The first 3 rounds at least. I send the wife and kids out for the day and watch the whole first day.. There is always Rugby next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsNation Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 The draft is like the Super Bowl of April. ESPN totally dedicates every ounce of programming to the draft Plus all the trades make it amazing. Day 1 is long as hell but enjoyable - Day 2 is kindof a waste.

Art Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 I have to admit, I'm inclined to do the rugby thing, but, that means I won't have ANY real access to the internet or television for three or four days really. Saturday is rugby and drunken partying. Sunday is cookout, drunken partying and a bikini contest we get to judge that night. Monday I'll be in the car driving back to Minnesota which is a two day trip. The real thing that could tip the scales in the balance is if I do miss the draft my wife will then assume the draft is a negotiable thing for me and she'll find ways to make me miss it in the future. That is the real risk I can't reconcile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Can't they change the Rugby weekend?, or play another weekend. The Draft is like Christmas for us NFL junkies who love useless football info and facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAC Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I'll be at Fedex. I had a great time last year and got a Ricky Ervin's autograph and Spurrier's autograph which I now have no clue what to do with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 You're not getting any younger Art. The draft will be endlessly recapped and you'll have thread upon thread to read here. We can look forward to your assessment after the fact. Go play rugby while you're still young and fit enough to enjoy it. JUST DON'T BREAK ANYTHING!!

RedskinsNation Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 With Gibbs calling the shots this year - I cant wait. No matter who he chooses it will be a solid pick, we will immediately be able to see the direction the team is headed and his 1st choice will be an obvious indication on what he thinks is our weakest part of the team.

TankRizzo Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Go w/ the Rugby. This coming from a HUGE draftnik. Sometime around Sunday afternoon I look at my unshaven and unbathed self and wonder WTF I did with the weekend lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrapeApe Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Absolutely go play rubgy. I wish I still could, but bad knees and a concusion means no more for me. Oh wait, maybe you should watch the draft. What position do you play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Originally posted by The Evil Genius TIVO it Art. Then, when you come back on Monday - you can spend all day watching it and then you can open the papers again I believe this is the exact situation (Rugby vs. Draft) for which Tivo was created, which makes it the perfect solution.

sippin2020 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 If they have it at FedEx again it's a no brainer. You sit in club all day, free parking, $1 hot dogs, and $1 cokes. Of course you still spend a ton of money 'cause beers are still $6. But you can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
