Draft Day Party

stickman · 04-14-2021, 04:09 PM

Anyone else miss the draft being on the weekends?

My friends and I would have a draft day party every year. BBQ or something, make a day of it.

I know the league likes the ratings they get with a Primetime draft, but I hate staying up late to see the Saints pick. We'll be lucky if we see them pick before 11pm this year.

Maybe they'll trade way up so you can get to bed earlier.

The party is a fun twist.l stick! But I gotta say I’d rather have to stay up late for a pick then to be an early pick year after year ! 😁

That's for sure. As for the parties, the draw back with them is they require other people. I prefer to deal with people in moderation. Saints' games not in person never warrant a party for me. I have to watch by myself. Super Bowls? Same there. Hate people trying to talk while I'm trying to watch. Parties should be limited to crawfish boils, weddings, and Irish wakes.

It does seem less fun since it's been rolled over three days. It's all RG's fault.

It’s a lot better if you work 4-10’s and the weekend starts Thursday afternoon. I get home at 3 and then I have four hours to pre-game!

I work 4-10s myself. Problem is I am so used to going to bed early it's hard for me to stay up for the whole thing.

I agree with you Guido. I don't like distractions during a game....and I do the talking in my house!
