QB Eagles

What has happened to the draft is probably my most hated of all the Goodell innovations. It used to be a massive party, now I really don't give a farg anymore and would just as well see the list of names unceremoniously posted on nfl.com. It was a direct assault on hardcore NFL fans in order to cash in on Thursday night ratings.

I feel like the draft now is just an excuse to generate months of meaningless, speculative media content, whereas it used to be an excuse for beer and red meat.

the commercialization of middle class white men is a real downfall on this great country
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Once I got the damn nfl.com draft page to load, not only did it have an autoplaying stream of draft coverage, but it had a little ad popup video at the bottom playing the exact same thing.

The man. The myth. The legend.

rome - you're really starting to sound like the old guy on the street that screams at kids for walking on his lawn.

I've sounded like this since I was about 13.

Would have had no problem birds drafting Connor Williams.

Wonder if it's a coincidence that Witten retires and eagles trade up 3 spots to jump Dallas and take a TE.
