Does anyone else miss how the draft used to be?
Back in 2009, and all the years before, the NFL draft was on Saturday and Sunday.
Kicked off Saturday at noon for the first three rounds, and then finished off Sunday at 10am for the remaining rounds?
For me and my buddies, that Saturday was an ALL DAY event.
Everyone got together around 11:30am and stayed until the final pick was made.
Eating and drinking and playing darts/cards/video games/whatever throughout the day.
Sometimes it was just the guys. Sometimes the families. But ALWAYS got together.
It was bigger/better than gamedays and that championship game day.
It was Saturday. No work. No responsibilities. Nothing going on but maybe baseball, but who cares about that?
Can't do ANY of this on a Thursday night.
Ahhhhhh, memories.
