Wait a sec.
Steve Czaban of Fox Sports was talking about tv ratings this morning, and wondered out loud what would happen should the Draft be televised fri-sun instead of sat-sun, and be televised on friday during prime time. Now ESPN reports that the NFL is considering it? |

You know whats odd? The article just below said the regular sesason game being played at Wimbley sold 40,000 tickets in 90 minutes. That was just for european "fans". Can we get a premier league game in return? I'd take an Arsenal/Chelsea game for a Dolphins/Giants game any day of the week. Oh, and well played ScottyRo, well played indeed. |

It takes so long because the players' values are that much higher. That makes trade discussions that much longer. It's easy to strike a quick bargain when the values aren't so high.
I think reducing it to what has been suggested is the right thing to do, but I'm positive it is also going to cut down on the number of trades because it make them more difficult. |
