The NFL is looking to cash in on some primetime ad revenue by changing the televised format of the NFL Draft:
Commissioner Roger Goodell notified teams Thursday that the draft will be spread over three days in 2010, running April 22-24.
...
ESPN and the NFL Network will televise the entire show.
The first round will take place on Thursday, April 22, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The second and third rounds will start at 6:30 p.m. ET on April 23.
Rounds 4 through 7 will be on April 24, starting at 1 p.m. ET.
Basically, if your team doesn't have a first round pick, you can spend the first day of the draft watching Jets fans boo their team.

Speaking of the Jets...
Didn’t they draft Mark “Dirty” Sanchez? Boo boo and BOO!

I love this
The first round going primetime is a great decision, and starting the second and third rounds in the evening is even better.

Wait, we're talking about the draft again?
What happened to the season?

Man, I need a life...
Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This would probably happen to me if I ever won anything.

That's big talk for a little guy,

I remember reading this was a possibility a while back and I think it’s a decent idea. It should ratchet up the excitement a bit in my opinion and I’ll definitely be excited for that Thursday night.

Wait
It starts on a Thursday? I don’t like that at all. Start it on a Friday and have it go over the whole weekend.

I hate this
Don’t start it on a Saturday at 10 AM, asshole. I am pissed at Goodell. It would work fine if it was a day later for each, but he had to do this.

Interesting range of emotions CH...
You start with, “I love this”, move to, “Huh?! What?”, and end with, “I hate this.”
So, I’ve gotta ask you CH. Is that your final emotion?

This Sucks
Seriously, this kind of scheduling is only going to work for east-coast people. It used to be pretty decent..
