Title: More people watched the NFL draft than NHL & NBA PLAYOFFS
Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on July 03, 2009, 08:47:21 am
Executive Director DeMaurice Smith was asked his feelings on the overall health of the NFL:

“The health of the NFL appears to be extremely strong. I always start off with the most recent thing that happened in the National Football League, the draft. When you try to get your head around that 40 million people watched the draft, which is more than the NHL playoffs and the NBA playoffs combined. Gentlemen, that’s a healthy sport.”

Other responses to the NHL and NBA playoffs can be found here:

Not really a surprise there.  The NHL is stuck with a shit network and the NBA's product isn't all that great in my opinion.

I agree there.  Particularly with the NBA.  We need to get back to the days of Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, and David Robinson.... back when people actually played some defense.
