I shudder to think of what a breakdown like that would look like for a baseball game!
I actually enjoy the banter of many of the play by play guys in baseball and golf. I can’t say the same of NFL announcers. They talk to me like I’m brain dead. And the replays... so mind numbing.

It’s incredible how inept one franchise can be. The Browns actually have an ok defense, but having Manziel v2.1 isn’t changing any fortunes.

And then maybe we’ll all be wrong and they’ll look like geniuses.

Wouldn't have mattered which Quarterback the Browns took,until he can get out of there his career will be in dire straits...26 starting Quarterbacks since 1999.the other 3 first rounders are breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Cowboys passed on a couple quality recievers,but with the loss of Hitchens,and the uncertainty of the health of Lee and Smith,Vander Esch is a good pick,he can play inside or outside.someone mentioned Brian Urlacher when talking about Vander Esch.....got me all giggley!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Cowboy's fans get all excited for a flashy receiver and then they take a guy that nobody has ever heard of lol lmao.

Vander Esch is the 3rd ranked line backer in the class,dont know why you never heard of him,do some research,as far as recievers,there are still lots of quality ones available,cowboys still have 9 more picks to play with

Just seemed like the crowd was very loud, and then got very quiet when the pick was announced.
I'm a basketball guy, I don't really follow college football too closely, so yes it's safe to say I've never heard of a LB from Boise State. I thought Cowboys were taking Ridley for sure.

Reports are saying Jason Witten is going to retire and become the analyst for Monday night foot ball.if it's true,a big loss for the cowboys,and the NFL.A great player and ambassador of the league.he played the game the right way and was, IMO, the toughest guy of his generation...a first ballot hall of famer for sure.this will throw a screw into the Cowboys remaining draft selections,they were weak at tight end as it was,now they are in trouble.the 3 tight ends on their squad other than Witten last year had a total of 9 receptions.....combined

In the 7th round, the Eagles take this guy. 20 years old and has never played football. 6-8 350lbs and can run like a deer. Decided to try football because his team wanted him to loose 50lbs. Said he didn't see how he could do that because he was already down to 10 percent body fat. Looking forward to seeing what they do with him. If nothing else, give him the ball on the goal line and watch the destruction.

That's crazy a guy that big runs like that. He should have tried college basketball first
