When I saw the ratings for the first day of the draft when you combine
the ESPN and the NFL network was an 8.5 rating. The NHL playoffs
routinely get a 1 rating, the NBA is in the mid 3's and even be World
Series doesn't approach this number. The Combine a few weeks ago
moves the needle, ESPN covers it and the NFL Network covers it live.
It's hours of men measuring the size of the legs, arms, hands and head
of other sweaty men and then watching them run an obstacle course in
skin-tight -clothing. Between the combine, the Pro Days and then the
individual workouts, it's like watching three months of Hunkamania and
we as a nation love it. It all culminates in the hunks being
auctioned off and we treat the event like it's the last episode of
Mash ..yet when a man kisses anther man, twitter blows up
Oh well
I missed out on Day 3 of the NFL draft. I actually missed out on Day 1 and Day 2, too, much to my chagrin.
