Draft Daze
They held the NFL Draft over the weekend.
They televised 15 live hours of coverage over two days of young guys wearing suits and baseball caps and ESPN's finest gushing endlessly about prospects whose impact is impossible to predict.
Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. was still grading teams on their draft performance late into Monday might.
Remember Tommy Lee Jones in that scene with Harrison Ford in the storm drain in "The Fugitive"?
I don't care.
Why would anybody want to watch this stuff?

This is truly one of the great mysteries of contemporary times. I was at a party on Saturday where 5 guys, none of whom, I'm sure, could name half the starting lineup of their favorite team, were absolutely rabid to learn which college player they'd never heard of had been drafted by the team they care least about. It was madness--NFL nerddom taken to an extreme. I told my wife to shoot me if I ever approached that level of interest.

Why are you not complaining how that hot dog eating contest they showed. That was boring!
I guess they are like newspapers they have space to fill.

If you can watch a man stuff 50 hot dogs in his mouth and call it boring, you have a stronger stomach than I do.
