Title: ESPN Draft Special - Unwatchable
Post by: Dave Gray on April 24, 2006, 02:51:28 pm
There is a draft special on right now...started at 2 EST....probably will re-air later.

It's awful.  God-awful.  All they're talking about the whole time is Reggie Bush.  Everyone knows he's going number one...it should take one minute to explain that and then move on to some teams that actually have some decisions to make.  I've been watching for 45 minutes and they've only been talking about Bush -- interviews, comparisons to past players, controversy about his parents' house.  The only other player they've talked about is Mario Williams, and only to point out that Reggie Bush is so much better.

Total waste of time.

This "draft special" should be called the "Reggie Bush ass-sucking show."


It reminds me of ESPN's Fantasy Football show from a few years ago.  It was a complete joke.  "If you can, you should pick up Ladanian Tomlinson".  "When you draft a wide receiver, think about getting Randy Moss."

I have a feeling that Bush will be a bust.

Yeah, a bust in Canton.

Maybe, and I hope you're right.

It all depends on his durability. He stays healthy he's a sure fire hall of famer.

I watched some of that draft special last night while I was writing up my own draft report (due to release here tomorrow), simply to hear any other tasty new rumors would affect my own write-up. After about 10 minutes, I went back to watching tivo'ed combine workouts instead, because nobody was actually saying anything worth listening to. Bush this, Bush that, with a little Vince Young thrown in for spice. What about the couple hundred "other" players who will hear their name called this weekend?

Bush will be a great NFL player...I won't argue against that, but there are other players who will become excellent NFL players as well, and ESPN's "draft special" didn't even touch them.

The draft special changes everyday. It's been on for over a week now. They've been concentrating on different positions each day. I've found it to be pretty informative.

However, every show has a Reggie Bush segment.
