I have a channel called NASN on cable and it is showing Day One of the Draft. I have listened on radio before but to actually watch is going too be great for me.

Awesome! its fun, but i'd have some other things to as well.... these teams love to use their full 15 minutes and some picks are not interesting b/c you know (or at least think you know) who the team is taking.

The thing is as a draft rookie I will be really into it, trying to predict who teams will pick. It will also be good to hear the analysis after each pick. If Washington don't trade down I will only watch the first round.

You can count on it, but I am not strong on college football so i will admit my lack of knowledge as to whether picks are good or not.

You will have a blast. I've made an event out of the draft every year I've watched it on TV. I enjoy watching it at home so much, I don't even consider trekking out to Fed Ex for the festivities...

Last year sucked...because we heard ZERO analysis about the Sean Taylor pick, because as soon as his name was called from the podium, the Chargers traded Eli Manning to New York. :rolleyes: Hope that doesn't happen this year...

Have fun!

NICE digs JimReaper007!

Great news for you flave1969!

I got a bit lucky too. Even though we have cable in the cafeteria with two t.v.'s, I found out I have a connection allowing me to watcht he entire draft Saturday at my desk - free, compliments of the company (paid the corporate package,so its free!). Lucky, cause I gotta' do some OT tommorow during the first 5 or 6 hrs of the Draft :)

That's so cool! And the time is far better for tipping a pint during the 9th pick too, I'm jealous....

Belinda will be a tougher nut to crack. I will have to give up the PC so she can be entertained. If each team takes 15 mins it will be 7.15 pm for pick #9 and 11.15 pm for pick #25. I am not sure I can swing that one. But I sure as hell will try.

Congrats to Flave and the rest of our brethren on the otherside of the water.
If you've never seen it,be prepared for a lot of video and analysis overkill.
It's great for a football junkie.Enjoy!!!

Hooray for NASN!

I've had the channel since September. It's good during the football season and there's wall to wall baseball on at the mo. We also get an hour of classic games from NFL Films on Sunday afternoons.

I can't get into Basketball, so between January and March Madness, NASN's a bit pants.

Have never watched the Draft, so this should be novel...

Man that's great news Flave, but the important question is do they have cheez-its in the UK. to go along with the draft?

I am enjoying it very much. I like the film I see of Rogers, strong against the run just how Gregg Williams likes his Corners. I am surprised we passed on Mike Williams. No real surprises so far. I feel sorry for Rodgers he isn't bad enough to fall this far.

The draft needs livening up - you cuddly septics are slipping...

This things been going for five hours now and I haven't heard the Star-Spangled Banner once yet...

I like Carlos Rogers. With him, Springs, Taylor and Bowen - that'll be some secondary...
