Some NFL People are Complaining About the Draft Again
Published:
Read this nonsense:
A concern has emerged in recent days: There are certain coaches and front-office staffers reluctant to have their IT employees in their homes for fear of the virus spreading, and vice versa; some IT employees are concerned about going into other homes to equip them for the draft.

Jesus Christ. I’ve had it.
I don’t want to read any more shit about the NFL Draft and why we can’t do it. Roger Goodell sent out the memo. The draft will take place whether front office executives like it or not. Get on the phone with your IT guy and he will tell you how to open your computer, set up a microphone, link in other people, and then tell the league office which player you want.
This is not rocket science.
If FOX 29 can air 17 hours of Good Day Philadelphia every morning, with Bob Kelly and Sue Serio doing traffic and weather from their living rooms, then the NFL can rig a glorified conference call.
You have watched HOURS of game film on these players. You have interviewed them and talked to their coaches. You saw them at the Senior Bowl and Combine. You will probably hit on some picks and miss on some picks. It will be no different than any other draft, you’re simply making adjustments just like EVERYBODY ELSE IN EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY WHO IS CURRENTLY WORKING FROM HOME.
Fucking figure it out.
