Draft poll

This will be my first year watching it.
I keep getting excited for the new season then realising its ages away.
I don't know how you put up with such a long break between seasons.
Coming from a soccer background I'm used to the season running Aug-May.
It's killing me

Well, thankfully the NHL bridges things over for me personally, since the playoffs won't conclude until June.

Marian Hossa needs to sue the NHL.

That's why I love the draft... It's a fresh blast of football in the middle of a looooong offseason. It's a little chance to get excited about football again. That is until it's over and there's four more months of nothingness lol.

No thank you.... I will look over the re-cap, and see which players we got. If it isn't the Saints, I don't care.... JMO

i typically watch first three or so rounds, not this year. Kinda have a bitter taste in my mouth, that and the spring turkey season is on and I'm gonna get my boy a bird. Priorities

Of course I'll watch it if beer is involved!

At the very least it'll be an opportunity to see Goodell being boo'ed publicly.

What do you mean?

What I meant was that the crowd usually boo Goodell at the start of the draft when he initially takes the stage - it has happened at least in the last two drafts that I can remember.

You know he isn't really that popular amongst even non-Saints' fans.
