[Meacon Keaton]

Nonsense. Before the season starts, everybody is a Super Bowl contender!

If the Giants play half decent the first 11 weeks then we're in good shape with those five games to end the year.

Playoffs? Playoffs?!

[gunnar hendershow]

Are these the same Giants that have existed the last decade? Because they'll play great the first 11 weeks and then manage to completely drop the ball against subpar competition.

[Meacon Keaton]

Or they'll squeak into the playoffs and win the whole thing.

[gunnar hendershow]

Oh yeah not saying they won't win it all but they might lose their last 5 regular season games.

[Maxx]

Has there ever been a team that's played two Thursday games in a row like the Cowboys are scheduled to do this year? It's the first I've heard of it, and it's definitely the first time it's happened after a Thanksgiving game.

Goodell said this week that the league would consider adding a FOURTH day to the NFL Draft. When I initially saw the headline I thought maybe that meant they'd add more rounds since there are a lot of guys who go undrafted who wind up being pretty good finds. But nope, it would still be 7 rounds.

I'm assuming that means that the 2nd round would get its own day as well. And then you'd do Rounds 3-4 and 5-7 in the final two days. Or Round 3 gets its own day with 4-7 on the final day.

Either way, that would be ridiculous - even more than it already is. At that point you may as well just stretch it out over a week and do a round a day.

Let's just get 24 hours of Mel Kiper the entire week.

[Meacon Keaton]

Goodell is awful. He wants four days because that's another day of TV revenue.

1st, then 2nd and 3rd, then 4th and 5th, then 6th and 7th.

I love the draft so I'd probably enjoy it. I like the period inbetween days to read up on the draftees.

[livid]

I love the draft too but I much preferred it when it was just all weekend.

[Your Mom]

I like the first 2 rounds. After that I don't really care

[Dan]

Casual

[Meacon Keaton]

I love the late rounds, because that's when most Notre Dame players get drafted.

[The Buscher]

I find myself getting comically frustrated late in the draft because there will be a mid-level draftee that I watched a lot in college who I feel has sneaky high upside and I'll watch as the Giants pass on them round after round. Of course the player then winds up flaking out and I feel like an idiot, anyway.

Reading this, I keep thinking Busch is Srar and keep forgetting Srar is Cesraro because it's so subtle. It's confusing.

[gunnar hendershow]

I am so over the NFL Draft. It's only fun because I like to see where college players I like go. NBA Draft has the entire fate of franchises hanging in the balance, you rarely get that in the NFL Draft.

The NFL Draft is so over you, damshow.

Why did they push the date back so late, though? The wait feels like forever as it is.

Radio City Music Hall was booked for the regular week. Must be a hell of a show to bump the NFL out of the building.
